Skywarn 2008 Class Schedule

Skywarn is an effort to save lives during severe weather emergencies by expanding networks of spotters and by encouraging the widest possible participation in tornado warning programs. There is no way to stop tornadoes and not all tornadoes show up on radar, but they can be seen. Lives can be saved. Only one instrument can detect a tornado or funnel with complete certainty, the human eye.

We will offer one class, both Basic and Advanced with updated material. The class will last approximately two hours plus some time for questions and answers. While new technological and scientific tools have advanced our capability to predict severe weather, the trained spotter remains essential to our warning process. It goes without saying that the more trained "eyes" we have in the field during a severe weather event, the better our service to you and the public will be. More concern, more spotters, more eyes are needed. Lend us yours – learn SKYWARN!
