This Flood Training class is designed to educate SkyWarn Spotters on weather threats in this area, as well as strengthen the ties between the NWS and the local community. The more spotters the NWS has in the community, the faster vital ground truth information gets to NWS forecasters who make the decisions to issue life saving weather warnings.

 

                                                     The Flood class includes:

• Role of spotters & review of area
• What to report & how
• Types of flooding
• Forecasting and meteorology of flooding
• Review of some flooding cases
• NWS products for flooding
