Submitting a Storm Report

As technology continues to evolve, so do the methods to send reports of severe weather and other phenomena. For several years, the Espotter system has been a popular way to send reports to the National Weather Service, however it is no longer in service and has been replaced by a new electronic form:

In addition to the electronic form above, the following are the current means to provide weather reports to the Northern Indiana Office:
