NWS Skywarn Spotter Program

For more than 60 years, storm spotters have been the Nation’s first line of defense against deadly storms. Working with their local communities and with the local National Weather Service office, spotters provide invaluable assistance and critical information to decision makers when hazardous weather threatens. Countless lives have been saved because of this unique partnership between volunteer storm spotters, emergency management and the National Weather Service.

Even with all the technology used by the National Weather Service to prepare severe weather warnings, storm spotters still give us the most complete picture of what's really happening in and around severe storms. Radar simply cannot tell us everything we need to know. Storm spotters are the eyes and ears in the field.

The NWS in Corpus Christi will provide Skywarn Spotter Training on Wed February. 9th in Laredo. Click here for time and location. For more information contact Bob Roszkowski W5EVH at info@LaredoHams.com. The training lasts 2 hours.
