NWS TLCS Reporting Format

From Megawiki

In south-central and southeast Wisconsin (Weather Service) storm spotter training programs request that each submitted storm report utilize the T-L-C-S format. For the newcomer or first time spotter this means using Time-Location-Condition and Source information. More specifically; TIME is when you observe the weather event. LOCATION is your county and the distance/direction from the nearest city reference point. CONDITION is descriptors of what's happening (estimated, measured, speed, depth, degree of damage, etc). SOURCE is the source of the report (your name or ham radio call sign). http://www.mke-skywarn.org/cities.htm
