It's never too early to start and we believe the JetStream Online School for Weather will provide educators, emergency managers, or anyone interested in learning about weather with comprehensive, well-organized, colorfully illustrated curricula designed to help teach about the wonders and dangers that abound in the Earth's atmosphere. Whether you choose the entire package or select from self-contained modules, you will find complete lesson plans and review questions.

Bill Proenza
NWS Southern Region Director

The Treasure Coast Weather Net meets every Sunday night at 9 P.M. on the 146.775 (tone 107.2) St. Lucie Repeater Association repeater which is located on US1 at the Indian River & St. Lucie County line. Everyone is invited to check in with us at that time to practice giving and receiving current weather reports and join in weather related discussions.

In the event of a weather emergency, The Treasure SKYWARN Net will be activated in order to provide needed local weather information to the National Weather Service in Melbourne or any other appropriate agency. The Treasure Coast Weather Network primarily covers the counties of Indian River, St. Lucie as well as other surrounding counties, as needed, on the east coast of Florida.

If you are a ham living or visiting in the Treasure Coast area, we invite you to join the nets.
