The National Weather Service has launched a new tool to assist meteorologists in tracking winter weather conditions. The app allows users to share reports on precipitation types with a few clicks.
The functionality is integrated into RadarScope, a popular weather app used by many enthusiasts and professionals. Users can also download the mPing app from the App Store or Google Play to submit reports directly to the NWS.
Meteorologists say this crowdsourced data can improve the accuracy of winter storm assessments and forecasts. The initiative aims to gather real-time observations from the public during challenging weather events.
Officials encourage anyone experiencing winter weather to use the app and help improve weather reporting during storms.
