Special Announcement: SKYWARN Recognition Day 2025 Cancelled

Hello to all…

Please see the announcement below that due to the government shutdown and the impacts it had on planning for 2025 SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD), the 2025 event is canceled. The complete announcement is at the link below:
https://www.arrl.org/news/skywarn-recognition-day-2025-cancelled

While we are all disappointed within the national committee that I’m part of that we had to cancel this year’s event, we believe this will allow us to have a reinvented, bigger and better 2026 SRD. We have a number of new items and ideas that we want to apply for both the Amateur Radio side of the event and to engage more non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN spotters in various ways including more interaction between Amateur Radio and non-Amateur Radio SKYWARN spotters. Where we will not have the condensed time window to try and plan the 2025’SRD due to the shutdown, we feel we will have a more robust event in 2026.

We appreciate everyone’s understanding of this cancellation and all your support of timely severe weather reporting to NWS for the protection of life and property. Thanks to all!

Respectfully Submitted,
