True, We should all have VHF radios and monitor weather channels but one of the National Weather Service sources is from Spotter/Observers. Their "Eyes In The Skies". Reporting conditions as you see them will confirm or back up what the NWS reports or in some cases indicate conditions before it's reported by the NWS. Current conditions can save lives regardless of the source.
