During activations, Gregg County WX Net monitors weather developments during the Watch/Warning period and is in contact with City of Longview Public Communications with updates on current weather conditions. As severe weather approaches adjacent counties, trained spotters are called on, both in static and mobile positions, to report activity meeting severe criteria to the Gregg County WX Net control operator who in turn relays pertinent weather information to the City of Longview and the National Weather Service in Shreveport, LA.
