Skywarn is a program created by the National Weather Service whose purpose is, above all, to save lives and property. The idea behind this program is to have NWS-trained weather spotters look for the visible signs of severe weather in their area and report these sightings directly to the local NWS Field Office or go through an Amateur Radio Net. Ottawa County Skywarn is an organization composed of

interested individuals whose major purpose is to provide volunteer county wide severe weather spotting services.

***Sandusky County Skywarn has agreed to assist Ottawa County Skywarn while Ottawa County is in a building phase and on our way to be an independent Skywarn group.

Some gusty storms are possible this afternoon and early evening. There may be some twist in the atmosphere that could lend itself to some brief tornadic spin ups. Please stay weather aware.

Wow! Today is our 11th year on Facebook. Our group is made up of members of the Ottawa County ARES club. Most, if not all members are trained Skywarn spotters through the NWS. We provide back up and emergency communications for the EMA and other agencies. All severe reports our trained spotters observe get immediately transmitted to the NWS Cleveland warning desk via radio or through NWS Chat, a specialized network of meteorologists at the NWS, local new media Mets, like at TV channel 11 and 13, local EMA managers, and select admins at OCARES. Our info is backed up by data from the NWS, local Mets, and trained observation. We never put out conjecture or hyped up posts. Thank you all for following us and giving input. We appreciate you all. Please give our sister FB page a follow- Ottawa County, Ohio ARES. Thank you.

Celebrating my 11th year on Facebook. Thank you for your continuing support. I could never have made it without you. 🙏🤗🎉

We are getting multiple reports of funnel clouds and water spouts on the east end of the county. Several of these photos and videos were sent to NWS Cleveland which prompted a special marine warning for Lake Erie. The weather service has advised these could occur this afternoon but are unlikely to cause tornadoes or any damage. We are keeping a close eye on the situation.

Ottawa County has been added to the slight risk area for severe weather today. The risk with storms today will be strong winds. This setup is not like last week with a line of storms, the storms will be more scattered. Anybody the storms will be capable of strong winds. The best chance of storms will be after 6 this evening.
