2009 Skywarn™ Spotter Training Schedule
More Dates to be Scheduled
The National Weather Service
relies on trained volunteers to supplement doppler radar information on
severe storms and tornadoes. These dedicated individuals volunteer
their time to learn about and detect severe weather. Their valuable
cooperation is important in the warning process. Weather reports from
trained spotters are used along with doppler radar data to issue warnings of
tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods.
Spotter Training Classes will cover topics
discussing Severe Thunderstorms that produce damaging winds, large hail, tornadoes and flash floods.
Severe Weather and Lightning Safety will also be discussed. |
