The SKYWARN Program was implemented by the NWS in the 1970's, and retains a critical role as a first line of defense for severe weather threats such as storms, tornadoes and flash floods. The National Weather Service trains new volunteers every year, and requires all storm spotters to complete the basic course every two years to remain in the program. Over 280,000 strong, SKYWARN storm spotters and storm trackers brave the elements and adverse conditions, and gather that much needed information known as "ground truth", and relay it back to the NWS.

Become a spotter or renew your spotter status by taking part in one of the following spotter training classes:
