Preliminary Local Storm Report

In the window below is a text based product called the Preliminary Local Storm Report or LSR. It can be found directly using this link.

The Preliminary Storm Report or LSR is a NWS text product that relays information, normally received from external sources (e.g. weather spotters, local officials, media, public, etc.), about a specific weather event (hail [size], wind gust or damage, tornado, various wintry precipitation types and amounts, rainfall amounts, etc.). Although the information is collected at a Weather Forecast Office through a variety of sources and modalities (e.g. phone, internet, HAM radio, social media, etc.), this information is redistributed back out to the public and end-users as a sanitized and quality-controlled product. The LSR product can be disseminated with only one report or as a collection of reports that occur within the same weather event, as a “summary” of collected reports, depending on the need.

Reports remain preliminary until they are certified locally and nationally which then gets ingested into NWS Storm Data.
