Today, December 6, is the SKYWARN Recognition Day (SRD) in the US. As a registered Official Skywarn Spotter and a participant with SciStarter in two citizen science project -- he Mountain Rain or Snow and the NOAA’s National Weather Service (NWS) SKYWARN, stationed at the Arcadia Ecohome in the foothill community of Arcadia, California, I'm taking on a weeklong voluntarily sky-watch of the San Gabriel Mountains, a desert mountain range just north of Arcadia, as part of my actions to take part in the celebrations of both the 2025 SRD on December 6, the first Saturday of December, and International Mountain Day on December 11, along with reporting and advocacy activities such as this writeup. Monitoring the sky over desert mountains in Southern California where rain or snow falls in winters along strong Santa Ana winds, is becoming critical in the era of climate new normal with hazardous rainstorms and windstorms for our attentions and actions as members of the Skywarn Weather Spotters Network.
