Spotter Training ScheduleAll Spring 2023 SKYWARN Classes are Complete! NOTE: We have changed the number of classes starting in 2023. In several counties, we will now host a class only 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 2024. However, all spotters or interested spotters are welcome to attend ANY in-person class (regardless of the county), or can register for an online class. SKYWARN certificates are good for 2 years. All classes are free and open to the public. Forecasters from the National Weather Service in Fort Worth conduct storm spotter training sessions each year to help prepare 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.
