The National Weather Service in Wilmington has announced its SkyWarn Basic Spotter Training Course scheduled for May 13. Classes are free and open to the public. Virtual classes require registration via the link provided in each course description. In-person classes require registration only if specified.
Each class lasts about two hours and is led by a National Weather Service meteorologist, who will discuss techniques and safety for severe weather spotting. Once you attend a class, you will receive instructions for registering to officially become a trained spotter. You will then be able to report severe weather to your NWS office.
