USA Weather is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the timely and accurate dissemination of weather information to the public though our internet web sites, and warning the public of potentially dangerous weather conditions. The organization was co-founded in late July of 2003 by Storm Chaser James Covington, KB9ZXY, and Meteorologist Don Sell, WB9TYJ. It has been in continuous operation since that time. USA Weather is staffed by volunteers who love weather and the science of meteorology, and enjoy forecasting.
We hire meteorologists and weather enthusiasts who want to volunteer their time to producing local weather forecasts, in addition to, national outlook forecasts for severe (thunderstorms & tornadoes), winter, hydrological, and climatological weather events.
In 2022, we are on our biggest rebrand of the organization ever by introducing GIS to the website and a proprietary system for producing forecasts and alerts (also GIS-based).
March: Lucas Clover / Public Relations Officer
Mr. Clover has gone way above and beyond the call of duty in the Organization, especially regarding his nowcasting duties in the Severe Weather Division and his role as our Marketing Director. Mr. Clover has spent many overnights issuing Nowcast products (Short Term Outlooks and Public Weather Advisories) for the Severe Weather Division, and he manages to make time to dedicate to Nowcasting during his free time above his normal job during the day. Furthermore, Mr. Clover has spent his time and money going to various weather conferences as part of outreach and marketing for USA Weather to let people know exactly who we are. Additionally, as of late, Lucas has allowed us to be a primary sponsor for the TESSA (Texas Severe Storms Association) 2024 Conference, which includes various speakers, including someone from the Storm Predication Center in Norman, OK. Lucas, because of your hard work and dedication lately towards the Organization, you have been voted upon to be selected the Forecaster of the Month for March of 2024. May you continue to be richly blessed in your endeavors with the Organization, and we thank you for your hard work, and dedication to this Organization.
