Meteorologists from the National Weather Service office in Wichita will be presenting information that will help prepare storm spotters and weather enthusiasts for the upcoming storm season.
The NWS staff will provide an in-depth weather presentation that will engage the audience by teaching them about the different types of storms, the individual storm features that help a person to recognize the storm's potential severity, how to report hazardous weather, and severe weather safety. For the first time since 2019, the NWS will be offering a few advanced spotter talks. These talks will go more into the science of severe storms along with some of the tools and techniques that the NWS uses to forecast them.
Four of the stops will be in the SEK including the first stop this Tuesday at the Labette County High School Auditorium in Altamont. Other stops in the SEK include March 1st at the NCCC Auditorium in Chanute, March 29th at the Neodesha Civic Center, and April 6th at Memorial Hall in Independence. All presentations begin at 6:30 pm. There will also be two virtual presentations on March 15th and April 12th.
