NWS WILMINGTON OHIO 2024 SPOTTER TRAINING SCHEDULE
Classes are free and open to the public. Virtual classes require registration via the links provided in each course description. In-person classes require registration only if specified.
Each class lasts about 2 hours and is led by a National Weather Service meteorologist, who will discuss techniques and safety for severe weather spotting. Once you attend a class, you will receive instructions for registering to officially become a trained spotter. You will then be able to report severe weather to your NWS office.
