Question

What is spotter activation talking weather wise?

Answer 1

Spotter activation occurs during severe weather. Spotters are people who report weather occurrences and damage to the local National Weather Service office.

Answer 2

When weather conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms or tornadoes are expected to develop, a severe thunderstorm or tornado WATCH is issued. A Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado WARNING is issued when severe weather has been reported by a Skywarn spotter or indicated by Doppler radar. Skywarn volunteers become the NWS's eyes and ears, helping to provide better weather watch and warning services.

Answer 3

If I understand your question (I think you are asking for the "activation" term ("I am active" -" I am signing in") that weather-watchers use.

The 10-code that stormspotters use is "10-8."

10-8 is the code for "I am in-service."
