NWS Launches App for Public Weather Reports During Winter Events

The National Weather Service is calling on the public to help improve winter weather reports by using a new mobile app. Accurately identifying surface precipitation types during winter storms can be challenging for meteorologists.

The app, integrated into RadarScope for existing users, allows individuals to quickly share their observations with NWS meteorologists with just a few clicks. This helps provide more precise data for weather analysis and forecasting.

The mPing app is available for download on the App Store and Google Play. The NWS emphasizes that public participation can enhance the accuracy of winter weather reports and improve community safety during storms.
