SKYWARN® Training
Classes
 People are required to
pre-register for all classes. This is necessary to control class size and
provide the proper amount of handouts. Classes have a limited amount of space. If you register for a
class and can not make it, please notify us so we can make your spot available to someone else.
Upcoming classes are announced on this page and on NOAA Weather Radio. All training classes and
Skywarn® membership are free. Registration procedures are listed below.
National SKYWARN® courses are also offered online by COMET on their MetED site (located here). These courses are also free,
and can be of extra value to you with severe thunderstorms and tornadoes. However, the local
information on the multitude of weather threats we get in our region is missing. It is because of
this vital missing information that you will not be registered into our spotter database or receive
a spotter number until you take our Basics I SKYWARN® class taught by one of our meteorologists
from the NWS Baltimore/Washington Forecast Office.
