National Weather Service meteororologists will train new and veteran spotters on how to look for and report significant event-driven weather events. Training includes video demonstrations. Ideal spotters will already own basic weather instrumentation, especially an anemometer, or will be interested in buying one soon.
If planning to attend this spotter training session, please RSVP so an appropriate number of handout materials can be on hand. We look forward to seeing you at this or other Spotter training sessions, and receiving your hazardous weather reports.
