How
to Become a Spotter For Your Area
We recommend three main steps to become a
NWS spotter. First, if you're new, do some preliminary reading to start
learning about severe weather (for starters, read all the info in our
Safety page). Second, attend a NWS spotter training class (these are taught
every year in towns all across the South Plains area from mid-February
until the end of April). Finally, get together with an organized spotter
group (possibly your local fire department) so that you can get some field
experience. Definitely do NOT assume that just because you attended one
NWS spotter class that you're an expert spotter; it can take years to
become a good spotter.
By the way, NWS Lubbock teaches classes within
our CWA (county warning area).
If you do not live within the 24 counties
surrounding Lubbock, contact your nearest NWS office for further info.
