Spring is nearly here 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.

A training session will be held tonight in Howard at the Cox Building. The presentation begins at 6:30. Other upcoming dates include Monday at the Parsons Municipal Building in Parsons, Wednesday in Talequah, and next Thursday in Augusta.
