Welcome Everyone:
The Sherburne County SKYWARN Team is starting out the 2010
storm season under new management. As of April 2010, Greg
Shartle has assumed the roll of SKYWARN Coordinator. Greg
has held the position of Deputy SKYWARN Coordinator for the
past two years, and is well qualified to fill this new
position. He has a close working relationship with not only
Sherburne County Emergency Services, but also with the
National Weather Service Officials in Chanhassen.
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 Team operates primarily on the
Elk River repeater (146.970 - ) which is owned by Mr. Jon Krizek (K0CJD).
