SKYWARN Storm Spotters is a nationwide network of volunteers who report
observations of significant weather and damage resulting from severe weather
to the National Weather Service. The National Weather Service then sends
alerts to the public via television, radio, marine, aviation and weather
radios, public safety agencies and other information sources that severe
weather is approaching or has been sighted. Training is required in order to
be a Storm Spotter. 

 

Suggested Audience:

SKYWARN classes are ideal for amateur radio operators, emergency management
staff, Red Cross volunteers, CERT, firefighters, students, or anyone who is
interested and wants to serve. 

 

Registration:

Preregistration by Monday, February 27th, is required as only 60 seats are
available. 

 

Note:  The class will be canceled on short notice should the weather not be
conducive to travel.
