WXSpots Coordinator List

Volunteer County Coordinators

Like most things in life, regardless of how enthused we may be, if we aren't actively involved in something and connecting with others we tend to forget about it. Since most WXSpots users will only log on when severe weather is occurring and weeks or months may pass between events, many willing and useful sets of eyes may forget about WXSpots without a timely reminder.

Generally, the folks that continue to use WXSpots are those that are part of a local group of weather enthusiasts. Not only is it more interesting for the user as he feels connected with his local community, it results in many more observations from a local area. If you would like to make that happen in your county or area, here is how to get started:

- Contact others in your area that you know who are interested in weather and tell them about WXSpots. If you see someone from your area sign on to WXSpots, go ahead and send them a message using the WXSpots message feature.

- Keep a list of e-mail addresses of your WXSpots user group.

- E-mail your group when severe weather is expected and remind them to meet on WXSpots.

- You may want to have weekly or monthly round table chats using the WXSpots message feature to keep folks familiar with the software.

- Keep it fun! People connect and come back because they enjoy sharing an interest.

We originally listed all the US Counties and e-mail addresses beside those with coordinators. That became a time consuming task to maintain. Coordinators told us that they are building their groups by contacting people locally, not through this web page, so we decided to remove the list, but the coordinator concept is key to the growth of WXSpots and very much encouraged.

If this sounds like something you would like to do, please start! Odds are there isn't yet a coordinator for your county. Even if there already is, that will come to light as you spread the word about the software or during the next severe weather event. Both you and the other coordinator will be very pleased to have additional observers on board!

Some coordinators have posted their information to the WXSpots forum. Please be sure to check here if you are looking for a coordinator in your area or would like to be one:
