National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office

Community, Collaborative, Rain Hail & Snow network now includes North Dakota. 

All interested observers around North Dakota can now sign up and start reporting ON-LINE.

Volunteers from around the state are invited to review the information and consider becoming a network observer.  Basic requirements include online training, the availability to internet access and purchasing a specific type of rain gage.  Benefits the observers have are to see their reports posted on a national network of CoCoRAHS and see how their reports help fill in the daily rainfall, snowfall and hail maps.

Here is the web page to sign up and begin reporting with CoCoRAHS.
