Why is Storm Spotter Training Important?
The NWS has a network of trained spotters around the country. Those spotters provide invaluable information by giving immediate ground truth to what the weather is actually doing. That information helps forecasters save lives allowing them to issue accurate and timely warnings. This is where you can make a difference by attending a storm spotter training event. You will leave the training with knowledge of how thunderstorms develop and how to identify potential severe weather features. You will also get information on how to accurately report that information directly to the NWS as well as how to keep yourself safe when storms approach.
