Skywarn class set for VC, May 23

Bismarck (CSi) The National Weather Service will hold SKYWARN weather class on Monday May 23, 2016 at the Valley City Fire Department.

The class is open to the public and encourages those who are amateur radio operators, emergency response officials and trained public responders. These Spotters donate their time to help the NWS get warnings out to the public, and to get reports of severe weather back to the NWS.

Individuals are taught the basics of thunderstorm development, storm structure, what constitutes severe weather, and how to report this information. Each class typically takes around 75 minutes, with about a 15 minute break.

Contact Barnes County Emergency Manager Sue Lloyd at (701) 845-8510 for more information or questions.
