The SKYWARNTM Advisory Committee has created
several list servers through the YahooGroups server. One
list server is dedicated to all SKYWARN weather discussions
and is open for all to post information on. The others are
read only lists for the NWS to post weather statements,
watches, and warnings. One additional list server, although
not created by the Advisory Committee, may be of interest
to the members is the hurricanetalk list, which is an open
list for anyone to post issues related to the 2000 tropical
weather season.
Note: When originating messages to the MTHOLLYSKYWARN
listserver, only use the email account that you subscribed
to this list with. Attempts to send email to the
MTHOLLYSKYWARN list from a different email account will
result in bounced/discarded messages. The MTHOLLYSKYWARN
list is the only list that allows you to list messages on.
ALL other lists described below are ANNOUNCE ONLY
and used for distribution of weather warnings, watches,
advisories by the SKYWARN Advisory Committee
staff.
List Servers
MTHOLLYSKYWARN
The first list,
MTHOLLYSKYWARN,
is comprised of well over 160 subscribers who are interested in a discussion list revolving around severe weather
and SKYWARN. The list is open to all who are interested. You don't have to be a registered and trained SKYWARN
Spotter to join the list nor do you need to be an amateur radio operator. It is through this list you will find
information posted about SKYWARN Advisory Committee meetings, Training Sessions, changes in the website,
preliminary storm reports, our newsletter in txt format, weather discussion, questions about SKYWARN and the
Tech Committee, weather phenomenon, issues about the Mount Holly Forecast Office APRS/WX2PHI station and other
pertinent discussions.
This list is not for commercial postings by the members. It is requested that everyone stay on topic.
Flames and off topic posts will not be tolerated out of respect for the members of the list. The Technical
Committee welcomes ideas to improve this service, feel free to email the list committee on any issues you
feel will improve this listserver. The list server committee requests that both of these lists be promoted to
fellow weather enthusiast.
The second list,
MTHOLLYSVRWX,
is a read only list. It is comprised of almost 200 members who are interested in receiving watches and warnings
as they are posted by the National Weather Service, Mount Holly for its forecast coverage area. You don't have
to be a trained SKYWARN spotter or an amateur radio operator to receive posts from this list. It is though
this list you will receive all watches and warnings as posted by Mount Holly.
This list is an information only list and cannot be used as a substitute for NOAA Weather Radio during an
actual weather emergency. The list server committee requests that both of these lists be promoted to fellow
weather enthusiasts.
Read only lists have been developed for those that desire to subscribe to individual county weather statements,
watches and warning notifications. You may subscribe to a list for any one or more of the 34 counties comprising
the Mt. Holly NWSFO county warning area.
