The prime mission of the National Weather Service is to save lives
and property through timely warnings and forecasts. Yes, we depend
on Doppler radar, state-of-the-art satellite imagery and ever-improving
supercomputers, but many small scale features cannot be detected
by these. Therefore, volunteer weather spotters will always be “the
eyes and ears” of the National Weather Service in
reference to its warning program.
BASIC COURSE:
- 2 ½ to 3 hours in length, free of charge
- Learn to identify hazardous weather features
- Find out when we would like a call from you (certain thresholds
& criteria must be met) Elementary to intermediate meteorological
concepts are taught
- Prerequisite to the ADVANCED COURSE (goes
much deeper into the theory)
- For more information, please call John Fausett at 505-589-4088
