The training sessions are free and the public is invited. For a schedule of upcoming spotter training classes, please see the table below. Training lessons last about 2 hours and include information on NWS operations, products and services, the basics of thunderstorm development, severe thunderstorm structure, flash floods, high winds, winter storms, as well as spotter procedures. Each class is tailored to your local area.
