The National Weather Service (NWS) works closely with emergency
managers and officials across New Mexico to organize and schedule
spotter training classes each year. The training sessions
are free and the public is invited. For a schedule of upcoming
spotter classes, please check the list below. Training
sessions last 2.5 to 3 hours and include the basics of thunderstorm
development, severe thunderstorm structure, storm spotting techniques
and procedures, as well as hazardous weather safety and preparedness
information. NWS operations and procedures to include amateur
radio nets are also discussed. Each class is tailored to
your local area.
For a preview of some of the material, check out
our SKYWARN page. If
you are interested in becoming a SKYWARN spotter, check the list
below for a training session in your area. If you need more information,
contact one of the meteorologists listed farther below, and we
will be happy to help you. We look forward to seeing you at a SKYWARN
spotter training session soon!
