MILWAUKEE/SULLIVAN NWS - LISTINGS START FEBRUARY 1st



Beginning in 2012 the Sullivan NWS will provide 3 types of spotter classes, and every county will receive at least  one, two, or all three types of programs. Type 1: In-person program by a Sullivan NWS forecaster. Type 2: On-line "webinar."  This method requires a county agency to "host" the remote class in a room that has a internet-computer-projector-large screen-speakerphone combination.  Class attendees will see the spotter slide set and will be able to ask questions. Type 3: Is an in-person presentation by a Milwaukee Area Skywarn Association (MASA) or MidwestSSTRC. Both groups are recognized and approved by the  Sullivan NWS and also use
NWS 2012 training materials.

Why you should attend a severe weather spotter class

 
* If you are a first-responder, you deal with public safety issues.  Severe weather events, such as tornadoes, flash floods, and powerful thunderstorm downburst winds, are a public safety issue. Why not learn how to anticipate and identify severe weather before it starts?  Knowledge will never hurt anyone!
 
* If you have participated as a severe weather spotter for your agecny or juristinction and/or relayed a severe weather report to your 911 Comms Center, but have never attended a spotter class, are you confident that you will be, or were, 100% correct in identifying the event you will, or did, experience?
 
* Did you know that there are cloud features that foretell the development of a tornado or a powerful thunderstorm downburst wind event?  Wouldn't it be neat to be able to recognize those cloud features?  Your timely information could lead to an earlier tornado warning and potentially save lives!  Now, how can you beat that?
