Welcome to the Tornado Spotter Network
Mission
The mission of the Tornado Spotter Network
(TSN) is to provide the National Weather
Service the necessary information to issue
accurate and timely severe weather warnings
for south-central Wisconsin.
History
TSN began in 1995 with only a half-dozen
members. Since that time we have responded
to every severe weather event effecting the
south-central Wisconsin area. From December
2002 until February 2004 TSN was inactive.
Current Status
We will be conducting base operations, mobile
spotting, and training.
Training
We offer both basic and advanced spotter
training to other organizations on a request
basis. If you are interested in such training
you can contact us via email. There is an excellent on-line spotter training
slide series available here.
The Future
We hope to raise funds to develop a facility
for training and operations.
