------------------------------------

(Virtual) storm spotter training for 2021 starts during Wisconsin's Severe Weather Awareness Week in mid-April!

Each session is expected to last around 60 minutes and are designed in a way to have interaction with NWS Green Bay meteorologists, and a chance to ask them your severe weather-related questions!

This year, NWS Green Bay will host 6 virtual "standard" spotter training sessions, and 2 advanced spotter training sessions. You only need to attend one session to become a storm spotter. A certificate will be sent to attendees shortly after the end of the session.

The Standard spotter training sessions are designed to teach you about severe weather safety, climatology, and the information you need to share a storm report with the National Weather Service Green Bay.
The Advanced spotter training sessions cover most of what is taught during the Standard sessions, and adds more mesoscale and storm-scale science and terminology.

If you cannot make any of the spotter training sessions, and/or want to learn in a self-paced manner, we have official spotter training courses are available here.
