This map includes NOAA/NWS weather feeds - active watches and warnings, and weather radar.
This map is hidden on mobile devices. It is recommended to view using desktop computers & laptops only!
NWSChat 2.0 Companion Map is developed and hosted by Brian Haren, W8BYH, in support of ARES, EMCOMM and AUXCOMM
operations in the southeastern region of the United States.
This is the official NWS Atlanta SKYWARN page.
WX4PTC is the amateur‑radio call sign assigned to the National Weather Service office in Peachtree City, Georgia. This office serves the Atlanta metropolitan area as well as northern and central Georgia. The NWS runs a ham‑radio station from its forecast office under this call sign so it can coordinate SKYWARN severe‑weather reporting nets.
This takes you to the Nation Weather Service radar map.
The GA SKYWARN Linked Repeater Systems map brings together repeaters that are part of the Southeast
Linked Repeater Network, the Peach State Intertie and the Cherry Blossom Intertie. The map also includes
NOAA/NWS weather feeds - active watches and warnings, and weather radar.
Please note that the weather data feeds are turned off by default, and must be activated by the user.
This map works well on all platforms - desktop computers, laptops, tablets and smartphones.
Please Include:
- Name
- Callsign (or phone number)
- Keep your report brief
- Identify yourself as a trained spotter
- Tell us what you saw
- Provide your exact location or cross streets
- Give the event’s time
What to Report:
Organized, persistent rotation
Report the size of the largest stone and any damage. To estimate size, compare hail to well known objects such as coins or balls, but not to marbles, or measure the hail with a ruler.
Estimated or measured wind speeds of 50 mph or greater
Large branches, trees, powerlines, or signs blown down
Roof or structure damage
Report flooded roadways, rivers and streams, giving approximate water depth.
Does the flooding consist of standing water or is it flowing?
Is the water level continuing to rise, staying steady or falling?
Is the flooding occurring in a known flood prone area?
Any damage from the flooding or mud slides?
Any ice/snow accumulation
Injuries or damage caused
Submit Reports
It’s advisable to first bring severe weather reports to your local SKYWARN network if possible.
The NWS forecast office operates under the WX4PTC call sign so it can coordinate SKYWARN severe‑weather reporting nets
I cannot stress the following point enough. Ham radio is a hobby and is of great service to public services
such as the National Weather Service.
Remember if you have a severe weather report and cannot get it in by the above means.....
CALL ON THE PHONE! Others down the road may benefit.
You may connect to ECHOLINK node KK4GQ-R to reach WX4PTC.
This is connected to the repeater 145.210- (131.8) in Fayetteville,GA.
Echolink is on full time unless technical difficulties require the control ops to turn it off.
