Starting back in June 2007, the National Weather Service has been sending out monthly spotter newsletters. These newsletters discuss current and future weather, reinforce elements of the training gained through the spotter course, and update spotters on any new information. If you would like to be included on the email list for these newsletters, please contact Kelly Godsey. You can also find any past spotter newsletters through the links below.

Don't forget about our online spotter course. Even if you have already taken our online spotter course, you can access the course any time.

Starting September 24, 2007, the Tallahassee National Weather Service Office will begin issuing graphical hazardous weather outlooks each day. To learn more about this new product, please take this training module.
