CoCoRaHS
What's the Weather in Your Backyard?
When you hear the rainfall amount from the official gage, have you ever said,
"That's not what I got!"
The Albany National Weather Service would like to make you aware of a new national Spotter Network called CoCoRaHS, which is short for the Community Collaborative
Rain, Hail, and Snow Network. New York has become the 21st state to join this network across the country.
You can let us know how much precipitation has
fallen in your backyard by joining this program. The data you provide, on a volunteer basis, will help meteorologists,
researchers, the media, and others see and study the variability of precipitation across New York. The accumulated
precipitation data will be available to anyone using the web.
Please visit the CoCoRaHS web site at: www.cocorahs.org to learn more about
the program.
Local CoCoRaHS training will be given during the National Weather Service SKYWARN spotter training sessions this fall. Click here to register for a session near you.
