Weather spotting or storm spotting is a form of weather spotting in which observers watch for the approach of severe weather, monitor its development and progression, and actively relay their findings to local authorities.

A portion of what the The Tulsa Equity Alliance Community Safety Crew focuses on is monitoring, reporting of, and responding to severe weather. Some of our members are or aspire to be trained Weather Spotters locally to assist with that focus area.

The National Weather Service - Tulsa office hosts free Weather Spotting Training annually for community members in Northeastern Oklahoma. Once trained, spotters are able to monitor severe weather events and provide first-hand severe weather reports to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, which are used to make critical warning decisions.

The Community Safety Crew Weather Team utilizes the WeatherWise application to provide real-time and high-resolution weather radar data and information. WeatherWise brings information to our fingertips from multiple sources, including data from government-operated radar networks, NOAA Storm Prediction Center outlooks and models, in addition to storm chaser livestream feeds, and state-run and privately owned camera feeds.
