Weather spotter training offered |
|
November 22, 2017 |
The National Weather Service is partnering with
Boundary County Emergency Management to offer a
free weather spotter training class from 6 to 8
p.m. Tuesday, November 28, at the former
National Guard Armory, 6566 Main Street, Bonners
Ferry.
Volunteers who take the course will serve as the
"eyes and ears" of the National Weather
Service's Spokane office, sending in timely and
accurate weather reports that are available in
no other way.
The training is free and no prior experience is
necessary. Everyone interested is encouraged,
particularly those who are regularly out in the
weather.
Spotter reports, combined with radar, satellite
and other tools in the National Weather
Service's tool bag enables forecasters to issue
more timely, accurate and useful weather alerts
and warnings for all types of hazardous weather.
Those interested should contact Andrew Brown at
the Spokane National Weatheer Service, by email
at
Andrew.Brown@noaa.gov, or by phone at (509)
244-0110, extension 223. |
