Skywarn® Training Classes

Skywarn logo People are required to pre-register for all classes. This is necessary to control class size, as there is limited space. If you register for a class and can not make it, please notify us so we can make your spot available. All training classes and Skywarn® membership are free.  Registration procedures are listed below.



On-line national SKYWARN® courses are offered additonally...

...on the MetED site (located here). These courses are also free, and can be of extra value to you with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. However, because vital local information is missing, you will not be registered with us as a spotter until you take our Basics I SKYWARN® class taught by one of our meteorologists.

Due to a temporary staffing shortage, no new classes are currently being scheduled.
We will resume additional classes later this spring.
