We need your location! If you are coming to one of our SkyWarn talks above we would like to get your latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. You can easily find that out by visiting the following web site:

http://www.satsig.net/maps/lat-long-finder.htm

In the box that says "Centre the map around" enter your town, USA, and zipcode. This will zoom the map in close to your location. Then simply pan and zoom more to identify your street location. As you click and zoom the readout below the map will change. When you are over your location record the first line that indicates your latitude and longitude in decimal degrees. It will look something like this:

Latitude = 40.8284, Longitude = -77.8468

Please bring your coordinates with you to the next spotter talk. Thanks!
