2024 Spotter Training Schedule

NWS WILMINGTON OHIO
2024 SPOTTER TRAINING SCHEDULE

Classes are free and open to the public. Virtual classes require registration via the links provided in each course description. In-person classes require registration only if specified.

Each class lasts about 2 hours and is led by a National Weather Service meteorologist, who will discuss techniques and safety for severe weather spotting. Once you attend a class, you will receive instructions for registering to officially become a trained spotter. You will then be able to report severe weather to your NWS office.
