Future editions of Weather
Spotlight could very well be available only on our
home page. Mass mailings to a growing list of weather spotters
is costly and time-consuming, both decreasing commodities at the
NWS. Our plea to you is to take advantage of the internet by downloading
our spotter newsletter for each quarterly issue.
