2023 Southeast Arizona Skywarn® Spotter Training Schedule

              

...NWS TUCSON IS SEEKING SKYWARN SPOTTERS IN RURAL AREAS OF SOUTHEAST ARIZONA…

You only need to attend ONE FREE training session to be certified as a SKYWARN Spotter for NWS Tucson. 

Topics covered include cloud features, severe thunderstorm recognition, severe weather safety rules and reporting procedures. These sessions usually last around 90 minutes.

We are always interested in training new spotters, especially from areas outside of the Tucson Metro area, including communities in the following counties:

Cochise: Benson, Bowie, Douglas, Elfrida, McNeal, Saint David, San Simon and others.

Graham: Bylas, Calva, Fort Thomas, Pima, Safford and others.

Greenlee: Clifton, Duncan, Franklin, Morenci and others. 

Pima: Ajo, Arivaca, Lukeville, Sasabe, the Tohono O'odham Nation and others. 

Southeast Pinal: Dudleyville, Eloy, Kearny, Mammoth, Red Rock, San Manuel and others. 

Santa Cruz: Amado, Canelo, Elgin, Nogales, Sonoita, Tubac and others. 

Google Meet will be utilized for any virtual training sessions. You do not need anything other than an electronic device with an internet connection and audio/video reception to participate. A microphone and webcam are NOT required since we will rely on chat for questions.

This is the Google Meet information for all virtual sessions. Please use this link and/or phone number to access the training on the date that you choose.    NO registration is necessary.

ALREADY A NWS TUCSON SKYWARN SPOTTER?

Virtual sessions are also open to established spotters who wish to review reporting procedures.  However, NWS Tucson spotters who were trained prior to 2023 will be emailed a link to an abbreviated, spotter training “refresher” video.  That video will be available for your viewing any time before and during Monsoon 2023 for your convenience.
