Here Is How To Be A Wyoming Winter Weather Spotter

We've already tasted winter weather around Wyoming, and there are a few more months to come. Some forecasters are predicting a very active winter.

The National Weather Service is looking for Wyomingites who want to learn more about winter weather and become weather spotters. Two training sessions, one virtually and one in person in Scottsbluff, NE, will be available.

You will learn:

• Regional winter & wind climatology
• The science of winter forecasting
• Winter weather hazard information
• Winter weather messaging
• Measuring & reporting winter weather
• Winter travel & safety.

The Virtual class will be on Monday, November 18, at 6:30 p.m. You must register in advance at Weather.gov or by clicking this LINK. 

Plan to attend one of our two spotter training sessions this month! We'll discuss topics including snow and wind climatology, the science of winter weather forecasting, winter weather hazards, messaging, and safety, and how to measure and report snow totals to the NWS.
We'd love to see you at one of our two classes offered this year.

I've always been interested in weather, and I've experienced quite a few different weather events.

I've seen hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms, drought, floods, torrential rain, blizzards, and dust storms, to name a few, so knowing the science behind the weather appeals to me.

If you're the same, you should sign up to attend one of these classes to advance your weather knowledge. Again, you can register for the virtual course by clicking this link and completing the form.
