National Weather Service Weather Forecast Office

 A new Co-operative Weather Observer is being sought by the
National Weather Service for Wakefield, NE to measure daily precipitation and temperatures.

This is an excellent opportunity for anyone who is interested in weather and has a desire to observe and report the weather conditions at Wakefield, NE.  We will provide the equipment and training necessary and remain available for guidance while you are in the program. 

Duties of the Wakefield observer will be to make daily reports of 24 hour precipitation, including snowfall and snow depth, the the daily maximum and minimum temperatures.  In preparation for our spring forecasts, weekly snow water observations are also part of the program.   

Observing is simple and so is reporting your observation via a program accessed through the internet.  All you need to get started is the interest, a PC, and internet access, we supply everything else.
