Spotter Training ScheduleWe apologize we had to cancel both Advanced Classes in early 2024. We will reschedule these classes for September 2024. The Advanced Skywarn classes will be virtual, and new registration links will be provided in August. We will advertise the classes on this page, on our home page, and also on our social media platforms. NOTE: As of the 2023 SKYWARN season, several counties will only host a class every other year. If the county you reside in is not on the class schedule below, there will likely be a class in your county in 2025. However, all spotters or interested spotters are welcome to attend ANY in-person class (regardless of the county you reside in), or you can register for an online SKYWARN class. SKYWARN certificates are good for 2 years. All classes are free and open to the public.
About SKYWARN Classes Forecasters from the National Weather Service in Fort Worth conduct storm spotter training sessions each year to help prepare storm spotters for the upcoming severe weather season. The NWS conducts the training in partnership with local emergency management officials who, in most cases, are responsible for maintaining their local storm spotter network. The training sessions are typically about two hours long and cover fundamental information that every spotter needs to know, with a focus on safety, identification of key weather features, and proper reporting procedures.
