Want to help the National Weather Service? Weather Spotter Training coming up
December 10, 2015
by Michael Meier
Public Information Officer
Boundary County, Idaho

The National Weather Service in Spokane is seeking volunteers who would like to become official Weather Spotters. For those interested, a class is coming up soon in Boundary County.

Weather spotters are the “eyes and ears” of the NWS and provide valuable weather reports which cannot be replaced. The training is free to the public, and prior experience is not necessary.

Spotter reports, coupled with radar, satellite, and other data, have enabled the NWS to issue more timely and accurate warnings and statements for types of hazardous weather.

The National Weather Service Spotter Training Class will be held December 15, 2015, from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the South Boundary Fire Station on 20 Stagecoach Road in Naples.

For more information, please contact: Andrew Brown, NWS Spokane, at 509-244-0110 x223, or by e-mail at Andrew.Brown@noaa.gov
