Flyer for SKYWARN Training
Each year, severe weather events like thunderstorms, tornadoes, and lightning result in hundreds of injuries and deaths and cause billions of dollars in damage across the United States. To improve early warnings and help save lives, the National Weather Service (NWS) established SKYWARN®, a nationwide volunteer program of trained storm spotters.

Join over 350,000 volunteers—including police officers, firefighters, EMS personnel, utility workers, teachers, and everyday citizens—who are the eyes and ears on the ground for the NWS. SKYWARN® spotters provide real-time, accurate reports during severe weather events, helping meteorologists issue more timely and precise warnings for tornadoes, flash floods, and severe thunderstorms.
