BROWARD COUNTY, FL - Broward County Emergency Management Division is

The class is intended for those interested in becoming a Storm Spotter or
current spotters who want to sharpen their skills. Interested persons must
be at least 14 years old and preregister by Thursday, May 27th, by
contacting Robin Terrill, the Broward County SKYWARN Coordinator, at email

breaks,  

"SKYWARN spotters provide vital weather hazard information to meteorologists
at the National Weather Service (NWS)," stated Miguel Ascarrunz, Director of
Broward County's Emergency Management Division. "Trained local storm
spotters can assist the NWS to help verify severe weather events, such as
tornados, as they are occurring in our community." Classes for beginners
thru advanced Storm Spotters will be taught in a combined class by a
meteorologist with the NWS. 

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