The Northwest Florida Amateur Radio Weather Association's mission is to support and recruit a consortium of ham radio operators who have an interest in weather events, data collection, and dissemination of such weather data to the National Weather Service (NWS), APRSWXNET/Citizens Weather Observer Program (CWOP), MADIS, MESOWEST, and other weather data collection agencies via APRS and internet weather websites.

The Association's goals are: 1) To provide accurate weather data to these agencies noted thus providing a public service, which is part of the Amateur Radio Charter granted by the Federal Communications Commission. 2) To maintain a network for the sharing of information for Amateur Radio APRS weather stations, types of equipment, firmware, and software used in the service, and, 3) To encourage those interested in assembling and placing into service APRS weather stations.
