An Extreme Cold Warning has been issued for the Adirondacks with wind chills as low as 30 to 40 below zero expected. The Cold Weather Advisory has been expanded to include the Champlain Valley as well as the rest of northern New York and Vermont. The risk of frostbite and hypothermia will be elevated, especially for vulnerable populations. Wear appropriate clothing, a hat, and gloves. Read More >

The primary way to become a certified SKYWARN™ storm spotter is to take the National Weather Service's online SKYWARN™ Spotter Training offered on the COMET/MetEd website located here.

If you're in Vermont (except Bennington and Windham Counties - in NWS Albany's area) or far northern New York, you may also become certified by attending one of our SKYWARN™ training sessions. These are occasionally advertised online at the top of our website at www.weather.gov/btv. If you would like to set up a talk, then you may fill out our request form.

SKYWARN™ reports can be relayed from your location to the National Weather Service via volunteer ham radio, by calling our toll free SKYWARN™ weather spotter telephone number (provided to you when you join). An on-line storm report off our webpage is also available, or you may post through our local Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/US.NationalWeatherService.Burlington.gov
