Skywarn training is conducted in March, April, May. Because of resources, we must limit the number of visits to each county to one or two. Large groups and Emergency Management Agencies (EMA) get schedule priority. We can not guarantee a class for every group!

Please have three potential dates in mind when you contact usl. Also, class sizes must be 25 individuals or greater. Classes will be offered Monday through Thursday. No Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays, NO exceptions. If planning an evening class, a 6:30 PM is latest start time available. Please ensure a screen is available.

We are trying to consolidate classes. Please coordinate with other interested groups. We will require that all talks be coordinated with your local EMA. Schedule the training early in the year and promote the talk through your local media. You will get much better attendance. To schedule a Skywarn training session you should do the following:

1. Email Gary Garnet at gary.garnet@noaa.gov to check availability.
2. Coordinate with the County Emergency Management Agency (EMA)
3. Ensure at least 25 people (Give an estimate of attendance)
4. Have a facility, date and time established!
5. Provide a volunteer to help with registration.
6. Open the training to the public.

The training schedule for SKYWARN will be posted on our web page .
