The Skywarn class is presented by the National Weather Service and is available as an online webinar. Formally called “National Weather Service Tallahassee Online Spotter Training,” the presenter is Kelly Godsey, one of the Weather Analysts at the Tallahassee National Weather Service center. Kelly has an excellent program which is informative and focused on our area’s weather.

This is an opportunity to get your basic spotter training from the National Weather Service via an online webinar classroom and it can be taken from any location with high speed internet access. The class below is a basic class for those that have never taken the spotter training or a good refresher course for anyone that has taken the class and needs a brush up on your skills.

An advanced class is scheduled for March 23rd and registration information will be available soon.

This is an excellent way to get started with Weather Spotting. The class is scheduled for March 9th at 7 pm ET. To register for the course, just visit this link:
