NWS Columbia's County Warning Area (CWA) & Amateur Radio Network

NWS Columbia utilizes the 2-Meter amateur radio network across Central SC and the CSRA to obtain severe weather reports.

The Call Sign for the NWS Columbia Office during an organized radio net is WX4CAE. When calling net control, simply call Columbia SKYWARN.
