(Wilmington, Oh.) – Would you like to train to become a storm spotter?
There will be multiple opportunities to do so over the next few months.
The National Weather Service in Wilmington will hold free spotter training classes throughout the tri-state, starting today.
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, and start reporting severe weather to your NWS office.
Local training classes have been scheduled for:
- Thursday, March 2 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Boone County Emergency Management, 3000 Conrad Ln, Burlington, KY 41005.
- Monday, April 3 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at Batesville Fire and Rescue, 115 E. Catherine Street, Batesville, IN 47006.
Three virtual classes have been scheduled for February 22, March 7, and May 2.
