Severe Weather Spotter Talk Schedule

The National Weather Service in Dodge City provides storm identification/spotter training sessions each spring.  These sessions are done in cooperation with county Emergency Management agencies across the area.  All training is free, is open for anyone to attend, and is not designed for just storm spotters.  Anyone with a desire to learn how to identify severe weather and to learn about the dangers from these storms is encouraged to attend.  The programs last a little over an hour.
