| About USA Weather |

|
USA Weather is a not for profit organization dedicated
to the timely and accurate dissemination of weather information to the
public though our internet web sites, and warning the public of
potentially dangerous weather conditions.
The organization was co-founded in late July of 2003 by
(Storm Chaser) James Covington, KB9ZXY, and (Meteorologist) Don Sell, WB9TYJ.
USA Weather is staffed by volunteers who love weather
and the science of meteorology, and enjoy forecasting. USA Weather is
owned and operated by it's staff.
Our primary operational goal is to open local forecast
offices to eventually cover the entire contiguous 48 US States. |
