Spring is just around the corner and along with it comes the threat of severe weather.
Regional National Weather Service offices serving the four-state area including Wichita, Tulsa and Springfield are providing a number of free training presentations for anyone interested in becoming a weather spotter or who just wants to learn more about severe weather.
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.
Classes will be held through the end of March in cities across the region. Upcoming classes include sessions in Chanute on February 18th at 6:30 at the Chanute Memorial Auditorium; on February 19th at 6:30 in Pawhuska at the Osage Nation Law Building; and on February 24th in Pryor at 6pm at the Mayes County Event Center.
