Each year around this time meteorologists from the NWS office in the Quad Cities offer up several FREE courses on severe weather spotting. And next Tuesday we have one scheduled in Davenport.
The course is free and will run from 6pm until around 8pm.
According to their website:
Spotter training classes cover severe weather hazards including thunderstorms and tornadoes. This includes the general structure and movement of severe thunderstorms, identification of important storm features, and safety concerns.
- All in-person and virtual classes to be conducted by the NWS Quad Cities office are scheduled and posted below.
- All classes last about 2 hours.
- They are free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required for virtual classes.
- Classes are appropriate for all ages. Ages 10 and up will likely get the most out of the training.
- You may attend a class in any location, offered by any NWS office, regardless of where you live.
