A meteorologist from the Morristown office of the National Weather Service will be in Bradley County on Thursday, March 16 to facilitate a training session for the SkyWarn® program.
The event is sponsored each year by the Cleveland – Bradley County Emergency Management Agency and the N-W-S. Local citizens wishing to participate in the program will receive the necessary training to serve as weather observers for the Morristown forecast office, which serves counties throughout east Tennessee. It is free and open to anyone wishing to learn more about severe weather and the basics of meteorology.
The training session is being held in the George R. Johnson Cultural Heritage Center auditorium on the campus of Cleveland State Community College. It will begin at 6 p.m.
Attendance in a training session is good for two years of certification as a trained weather spotter.
The N-W-S uses the resources of amateur radio and recognizes their contributions to the SkyWarn program. Most offices have amateur radio gear in house that is operated by volunteers from nearby communities. This gives them direct contact with meteorologists in the distant forecast office during severe weather when seconds count.
Storm spotting is not storm chasing, and safety measures for spotting are incorporated into the 90 minute presentation. Spotting is normally done close to home and is tied to a local agency.
Pre-registration for the class is not required.
