Talk to Ham Radio operators

I live in Mesquite, Texas, and I  own a 14-mile GMRS/FRS 2-way radio.
I want to talk with amateur ham radio operators and relay weather reports. Can I do that with a 2-way radio, or do I need to go and buy some other radio equipment?

Licensed radio hams have been doing crazy things for more than 100 years because they were originally licensed to experiment with radio signals … to push the boundaries and find out what could be done.
