Does the forecast of severe weather get your juices flowing? Have you ever felt the scary excitement of a particularly strong wind gust and thought "Whoa! I wonder if anyone else experienced that!" When strong storms hit and trees go down, are you eager to find out how extensive the surrounding damage is? Even if you live far from the coast, when hurricanes are threatening, are you eager to hear reports of conditions? Do you wonder about surrounding snow fall depths after a winter storm? Do you enjoy learning about the intricacies of weather forecasting and sharing your weather interest with others?

If you are friendly and answered yes to any of these questions, you will be a welcome member of our weather community on WXSpots!

Here's how it works:

WXSpots Concepts:

WXSpots is free software that all responsible weather enthusiasts are welcome and encouraged to use. The software runs on your PC and connects to a server so that you can join our weather community. All observed reports of severe (and routine) weather are relayed to everyone connected. WXSpots will also connect to your home weather station and automatically report when you are experiencing strong winds. Reports can be screened by State, County or a list of Counties. Our WXSpots community includes weather hobbyists, SkyWarn observers, meteorologists, meteorology students, and those interested in severe weather observations.

In addition to observed reports, WXSpots includes messaging features so that everyone can talk about the weather they are seeing, share links and information on forecasts and thoughts on future weather developments.

WXSpots provides:

The ability to communicate real time, first hand observations and messages quickly and efficiently anywhere.

The ability to add the eyes of SkyWarn enthusiasts who aren't Amateur Radio Operators.

An automated, historical record of recent observations.

Audio alerts that can be specified by the user based on location.

Messaging features that allow for communication with a specific individual, group or all connected users.

The ability to provide data from your home weather station.

System requirements:

WXSpots will run on all flavors of Windows from Windows 95 through Windows 7. The program requires very little CPU power or RAM and should run just fine on any PC capable of running Windows. If you have an old laptop collecting dust that you would like to use for WXSpots, as long the PC can connect to the Internet it should be just fine.

Our community is friendly, welcoming and the program is absolutely free. Please click this link to give it a try and see what you think!
