1 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: From WBZ News Radio in Boston. This is New England Weekend. 2 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:14,600 Speaker 1: Each week right here, we come together, we talk about 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,920 Speaker 1: all the topics important to you and the place where 4 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: you live. Great to have you back with us this week. 5 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:22,279 Speaker 1: I'm Nicole Davis. We're transitioning now, of course, out of 6 00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: a bitter cold winter that had blizzards and ice storms 7 00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: and all sorts of uncomfortable weather, and now we're moving 8 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: into the season of extreme heat and thunderstorms, even tornadoes. 9 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,400 Speaker 1: The National Weather Service, no matter what season it is, 10 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,559 Speaker 1: is working hard to keep track of all of this 11 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,199 Speaker 1: severe weather and they put out critical warnings. We need 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: to make sure we stay safe and prepared for whatever 13 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: is coming through. Trouble is New England has six states 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: and there's only a few forecasters in each office, so 15 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: they can't be everywhere. That is where you can help. 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: The sky Warm Weather Network is a volunteer program run 17 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: by the Weather Service, and anybody who likes severe weather 18 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 1: or just weather in general can get involved. All you 19 00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: have to do is know what you're looking for, and 20 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: your job is simple. You look at what's happening in 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: front of you, developing weather wise. You report back to 22 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: the forecast office what you see, and then your data 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: can help them craft an even more accurate forecast or even, 24 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: in some conditions, a severe weather warning. Let's talk about 25 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: how you can get involved here. Bryce Williams is the 26 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: lead forecaster at the National Weather Service in Norton. He 27 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: is leading this new round of courses to get us 28 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: all trained up on the skyworn network. So, Bryce, it's 29 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 1: great to have you here. Thank you so much for 30 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: the time. I know you're busy. Before we get into 31 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: the courses, tell us more about this network and how 32 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: it all works. 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: Sure, So, skyworn has been around for decades. I started 34 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,039 Speaker 2: back in the seventies, and it's basically a way for 35 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 2: us to utilize what we like to call citizen scientists, 36 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:47,960 Speaker 2: so basically just the members of the public that are 37 00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: interested and willing to help us to report weather that 38 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: they see to us. So especially it comes into play 39 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: when we're talking about severe weather, so talking about identifying 40 00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 2: dangerous hails, damaging tornadoes, things like that. 41 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I am not a meteorologist. Part of me wish 42 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: as I was, but I was really bad at math. 43 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 1: So how can you trust that those of us who 44 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: are not as well trained as you all in the 45 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: weather space. How do you know what information to trust 46 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 1: and how all this is supposed to work. 47 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,960 Speaker 2: Well, that's a great question, and I think you are 48 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 2: not alone in the fact that you're a kind of 49 00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 2: a lover of weather just as a kind of hobby 50 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 2: or just an interest. A lot of people will say 51 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 2: that I just am fascinated by the weather, and so 52 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,839 Speaker 2: they are interested in doing any even a small part. 53 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 2: And this is a small part that anybody can do. 54 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,600 Speaker 2: And so the point of the class is to teach 55 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 2: people exactly what to look for and what they're seeing means, 56 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 2: so that when they do see something, they know what 57 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 2: that might mean for the future. So, say we might 58 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 2: teach them about a certain type of cloud, like say 59 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 2: a shelf cloud that we call which means that strong 60 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: winds are on the way. Things like that they can identify, 61 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: and one that they take at the class. We know 62 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,040 Speaker 2: that they have had the training and so we can 63 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: kind of trust more of what they're telling us is accurate. 64 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 2: Not that we won't, you know, take reports from the 65 00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: general public without the training, but this helps us to 66 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 2: be more confident, especially if we're going to be issuing 67 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: warnings based off of these reports. Because about a third 68 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 2: of our warnings, so severe thunderstorm warnings and tornado warnings, 69 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: about a third of those come because of reports from 70 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 2: spotters versus just seeing something on the radar. 71 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, how big is your network right now? Sky Warren Spotters. 72 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:32,080 Speaker 3: Sure. 73 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: So we have thousands and thousand, but tens of thousands 74 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 2: of people that have been trained across the country. And 75 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 2: so we've been doing this for so many years and 76 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 2: so many offices. We have one hundred and twenty two 77 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,560 Speaker 2: different forecast offices across the country and all of them 78 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 2: host classes just like these every spring, every severe weather season. 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 3: And we've been doing it for decades. 80 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 2: Like I said, so we've trained tens of thousands of people, 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 2: and you know, the amount of reports we get, it 82 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: all depends on where people live, you know, in doing 83 00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: the Obviously we don't live in Tornado Alley, so we 84 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: don't get as many, quite as many spotters as they 85 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: do out. 86 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: In Oklahoma, but we have a lot. 87 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: We've trained thousands here and we really are appreciative of 88 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 2: every single one of our participants that we've trained over 89 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: the last few decades. 90 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: Well, and it's interesting too, because climate change right the 91 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: weather here in Massachusetts is changing you say, we don't 92 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: live in tornado Alley, and yet last year we had 93 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: a lot of tornado warnings for this neck of the woods. 94 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 1: You know, I've been I'm a lifelong New Englander and 95 00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: my winters are looking very different and my summers are 96 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 1: looking very different. So I'm sure that the need for 97 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: more spotters is always there to watch these changes in 98 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:39,599 Speaker 1: our climate. 99 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 3: Exactly. You're exactly right. 100 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: And like I tell people when they ask them, is 101 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: the climate really changing? And I say, you know, well, 102 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 2: have you lived in New England for your whole life? 103 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,600 Speaker 2: And if they say yes, I ask, you know, one 104 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 2: of the the winters of the last decade, do they 105 00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 2: feel like the same winters that you experienced as a kid, 106 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 2: And they always everyone said no. And so it's just 107 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: a thing that that's happening. And there there's more heat 108 00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 2: in the atmosphere and that's fuel for storms. And so 109 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: you know, you mentioned the tornadoes and most people think, 110 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: you know, New England we don't get tornadoes, but we do. 111 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 2: We on average we get about six to eight tornadoes 112 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: in south of New England every year and it can 113 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 2: it can vary year to year. So last year we 114 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 2: had a handful of the year. I think it was 115 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 2: two years ago we had thirteen tornadoes in southern New England. 116 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 3: You know, they were all on the weaker. 117 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 2: Side, fortunately, but we get we can get a lot, 118 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: and so it's good for people to stay aware, not 119 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 2: only for reporting purposes for us, but also for their safety. 120 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Getting on social media, I know you all have a 121 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: pretty good social media presence on Facebook and x and 122 00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: all those other options that people can use. But I'm 123 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,599 Speaker 1: sure for the spotters too. It's not like yesteryear where 124 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: you had to just kind of call it in and 125 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 1: try to describe like I think this is a shelf cloud, 126 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,400 Speaker 1: but I'm not really sure. Now we've got videos, we've 127 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: got photos. That's going to make your child a lot easier. 128 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: It really has. 129 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 2: And we always encourage people when they're reporting, if you 130 00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,480 Speaker 2: have a picture, we'll we'd love to have it because 131 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 2: exactly like you said, when especially with for instance of 132 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 2: reporting hail, you know, people might not have a quarter 133 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:07,719 Speaker 2: around who's compared to see if it's the size of 134 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 2: a quarter, or might not have handy things to tell 135 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 2: us what size it is. But if you have a 136 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 2: picture of it that it makes it our job is 137 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 2: much easier and we can know is it severe sized tale, 138 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: which would be an answer larger, or is it just 139 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: you know, is it pe sized tale. So pictures, videos, 140 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: those are always really helpful. Obviously we'll take reports even 141 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 2: if it's just verbal or without a picture or video, 142 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:29,760 Speaker 2: but they do help. 143 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: So what happens in a sky warn class? We show up, 144 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: we sit down, what are we going to learn? 145 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 3: Sure? 146 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 2: So sky one classes range anywhere from an hour and 147 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: a half to two hours, depending on how many questions 148 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 2: people have at the end, which is kind of my 149 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 2: favorite part. So basically you'll show up. These classes run 150 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,839 Speaker 2: from six to eight in the evening and we have 151 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 2: about nine of them scattered across southern New England. You 152 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 2: go to the closest one to your location. You show 153 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: up and basically myself or one of our meteorologists from 154 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 2: my office would be there and they are going to 155 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 2: lead you through a class talking about various topics from 156 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: what the National Weather Service is, who we are, kind 157 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 2: of what we do briefly.
