Office of the Sherburne County Skywarn Coordinator

 

Background
Sherburne County's Skywarn Service was officially established in Sherburne County, Minnesota on February 27,  2006. The organization started out with a small group of dedicated individuals who assisted the Metro Skywarn Team. These individuals saw need for a more established organization here in Sherburne County to protect our citizens.

The Sherburne County Skywarn volunteers include local businessmen and women, students, government employees, military personnel, skilled laborers, retired civilians and even military retirees, all of whom have a dedication to providing public service.

The Sherburne County Skywarn Service provides real-time weather spotting within Sherburne County, to the Cities of Becker, Big Lake, Elk River, Orrock, Princeton, Santiago, St. Cloud, Zimmerman,  and various other Sherburne County communities.  

During times of emergency, when the National Weather Service office in Chanhassen, MN requests, our federally licensed radio operators (ham radio operators) are able to provide severe weather spotter reports directly to the National Weather Service via ham radio. We also provide severe weather spotter reports directly to the Sherburne County Sheriff, Office of Emergency Services, when requested.

The Sherburne County Skywarn Service operates primarily on the Elk River repeater (146.970) which is owned by Mr. Jon Krizek (K0CJD).
