Current Spotter & Observer Training
NWS Spokane works closely with county emergency managers and officials throughout eastern Washington and north Idaho to organize and schedule weather spotter and observer training classes. The training sessions are free and the public is invited. For a schedule of upcoming spotter training classes, please see the table below. Training lessons last around 1.5 hours and include information on NWS operations, products and services, as well as volunteer procedures.
We will plan on virtual online training this fall. This will require a computer or device with internet access.
