Weather authorities are urging residents who are awake and checking the weather to send in reports of the type of precipitation they are experiencing and their location.
The initiative aims to gather real-time data to improve weather tracking and forecasting efforts. Participants are encouraged to specify whether they are seeing rain, snow, sleet, or other forms of precipitation.
Officials emphasize that community reports can enhance the accuracy of local weather updates and help authorities respond more effectively to changing conditions.
Those interested in contributing can send their observations to the designated reporting channels provided by weather agencies.
