Accurate, real‑time ground truth saves lives. During severe weather, NWS warning meteorologists rely on trained storm spotters to confirm what radar can’t always see, tornadoes, large hail, damaging winds, and flash flooding.

Course Topics Include:
How severe storms develop and behave
What severe storms look like on radar
Identifying key cloud features and hazards
Tactical deployment of spotters
Spotter safety during severe weather
How to clearly and efficiently report critical information to the NWS
Intended Audience:
Fire, Law Enforcement, Dispatch/911, Amateur Radio operators, and others with dedicated two‑way communications
The general public is also welcome to attend
Suggested Prerequisite:
Online SKYWARN Spotter Training
Length: Approximately 90 minutes
If you respond to severe weather or want to play a role in improving warnings for your community, this class is for you.
