The CoCoRaHS network is a grassroots volunteer network of observers scattered throughout the United States. More observers are needed. For information about how to volunteer go to the cocorahs.org website. Observers use gauges approved by the National Weather Service and their reports are shared with the weather service. The only requirement to join is an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can affect and impact our lives.

While we have had a few days of spring like weather, there is a possibility for snow today (Thursday) and tonight. On Tuesday afternoon the prediction for our circulation area ranged from a trace to as much as three inches. The weather service indicated there was a 10 percent of chance of 4 inches in Superior and 5 inches in Webster County.
