The Paulding County Emergency Management Agency will host a Weather Spotter class instructed by the National Weather Service on Wednesday, April 30^th. The class is very informative, and covers the following topics

• Basics of thunderstorm development

• Fundamentals of storm structure

• Identifying potential severe weather features

• How to report information to the NWS

• Basic severe weather safety

The SkyWarn/Weather Spotter is a program that the National Weather Service uses to train volunteers to serve as “storm spotters”. These volunteers assist in relaying local weather information to forecasters during severe weather occurrences. If you have a general interest in weather and a desire to serve in your community, this course would be beneficial to you.

I can spot weather without a class, I just use a window or step outdoors.

 

Sorry, I tried to stop them, but my two fingers wouldn't listen.

I've been interested in taking this class for years. This particular one is right up the road from me and in the evening, so maybe I will get to attend. Thank you for posting!
