Network participation allows volunteers with computerized [[weather station]]s to send automated surface weather observations to the [[National Weather Service]] (NWS) by way of the Meteorological Assimilation Data Ingest System (MADIS). This data is then used by the [[Rapid Refresh]] (RAP) forecast model to produce short term forecasts (3 to 12 hours into the future) of conditions across the [[Contiguous United States\|United States' lower 48 states]]. Observations are also re-distributed to the public.
