(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The newly-created Weather Service (then known as the Weather Bureau) made its first official meteorological forecast on November 1, 1870: "High winds at Chicago and Milwaukee... and along the Lakes".
Volunteers called skywarn spotters relay severe weather to their local weather service office.
