There can be no finer reward than to know that their efforts have given communities the precious gift of time–seconds and minutes that can help save lives.  Although SKYWARN® spotters provide essential information for all types of weather hazards, the main responsibility of a SKYWARN® spotter is to identify and describe severe local storms. In the average year, 10,000 severe thunderstorms, 5,000 floods and more than 1,000 tornadoes occur across the United States. These events threatened lives and property.  The ground truth reports from trained  SKYWARN® spotters are a vital link in using advanced radar data and meteorological skills to carry out the mission of the NWS.  The observations of spotters provide the NWS with information in compiling documentation of severe weather events and verification of warnings.  These reports become part of the United States Storm Data publication, which is used by researchers and also provides climatological data on a wide variety of unusual weather phenomena, including statistics on death, injuries, and property and crop damage.

During the training, you will learn:
