The Carolina Weather Group is proud to be partnering once again this year with the National Weather Service office in Columbia, South Carolina to offer free, virtual weather classes for everyone across the Carolinas.
These free training will teach you what you need to know to report severe weather in your community the National Weather Service offices across both North Carolina and South Carolina. The completion of one or both of these classes will provide you with certification in the NWS's SKYWARN Storm Spotter program.
Storm reports from SKYWARN weather spotters across the country assist the National Weather Service in their real-time decision-making during severe weather, including contributing to vital information needed to for accurate and timely tornado warnings.
Both classes are free and open to everyone. You do not need to live in Columbia to be eligible for the class. Please register in advance.
The basic class, which acts as the introduction to different types of hazardous weather, will be held Thursday, March 10 from 7 -9 p.m. No prerequisite is required. Register here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/5753719480641583631
