National Weather Service Spotter Training

National Weather Service Skywarn Weather Spotter Training

Local weather spotters are the eyes and ears of the National Weather Service during severe weather. Even with the advanced technology of satellites and radar, the National Weather Service relies on spotters to report on local conditions. Learn to identify storms, estimate winds speeds, measure rain and snow, and recognize flood conditions, as well as how to report local conditions to the National Weather Service.
