mPING Temporarily Shut Down

To our valued mPING users: it's not you...it's us.

What happened to the mPING app??

On July 7, 2020, mPING was flooded with false weather reports,
and was shut down temporarily. We are working to eliminate
vulnerabilities that allowed these false reports to be submitted.

However, this may require some time. Once the app is updated, 
everyone will have the ability to submit mPING weather reports,
and view the interactive map of mPING reports.

We appreciate everyone's patience, as we resolve these vulnerabilities.
The mPING project is a citizen science collaborative effort led by
CIMMS and NOAA NSSL.

The National Weather Service always appreciates your real time reports,
and hopes to get mPING working again as soon as possible.
