If you are interested in becoming a National Weather Service SKYWARN Trained Observer or Spotter, or if your current certificate has lapsed, the Pittsburgh NWS will be offering Basic and Advanced SKYWARN Classes starting in March 2024.

There are several classes scheduled at locations that are within driving distance of Morgantown. The locations and dates can be found on the attached PDF. I believe that the NWS also plans to offer online (virtual) training as well. I have asked for those dates and times I will share them when I have received them.

Personally, I found the Basic and Advanced classes to be of real value and quite interesting. Even if you don't plan to be a SKYWARN Trained Observer or Spotter, the classes are all very worthwhile. And they are free!
