SKYWARN Spotter Class Information

 What is SKYWARN?

The National Weather Service in Jackson, KY will be providing spotter training to anyone that is interested in becoming a weather spotter. A weather spotter provides a vital service to the NWS and to his/her community by providing actual 'Ground Truth' directly to the National Weather Service. Spotters generally report significant events such as damaging winds, heavy rain, tornadic activity, ice and snow, along with other events that have an impact on the forecast or the safety of the community. 

Check back frequently for an updated schedule of spotter training presentations. For further information please contact our Warning Coordination Meteorologist, or give us a call at 606-666-2560 ext. 726.
