| Throughout eastern Oklahoma and
northwest Arkansas, dedicated individuals risk their personal safety
to provide first-hand severe weather reports to their local officials
and the National Weather Service in Tulsa. Being
a storm spotter not only means dedication, but also training. Each
winter and spring the Tulsa office of the National Weather Service
trains members of police & fire departments, emergency management
officials and amateur radio operators on spotting techniques. Typically
the training is coordinated by a local group (such as an emergency
management agency), and a NWS meteorologist serves as the guest
instructor. The goal of the training is not just to recognize tornadoes,
but to have some understanding of storm structure, which in turn
better prepares the spotter for the extreme and unusual circumstances.
Other topics covered include an update on the latest NWS technology
and procedures, and ideas for organizing / coordinating spotter
groups.
The training is free and requires no preregistration. The meetings
listed below are open to the public.
