Subject: SKYWARN: 2010 Storm Spotter Training


2010 Storm spotter training schedules are now starting to form and appear on some NWS websites. 
A state-wide list is also on the Milwaukee Skywarn site.  Because the 2009 severe weather season 
was very inactive, I encourage everyone to take the annual refresher course. Unless noted, all programs
are free, open to the public, and for beginners. They last about 2.5 hours, include brochures, handouts, 
a Q and A segment, and contact information.  I've included some links to get you into the spirit.
