The National Weather Service in Pueblo provides Severe Weather Awareness and Spotter Training sessions.  Typically the sessions are scheduled from late March through early May each year, and are a cooperative effort of local government officials and the National Weather Service.  The sessions are free of charge and usually open to everyone, except when noted.   Participants receive a general overview of the National Weather Service, are informed when and how to report severe weather, are taught the basics of thunderstorm development and storm structure, and are given basic severe weather safety tips.

An RSVP is required if you plan to attend. 

The session will consist of two parts.  The first part will contain information every weather spotter NEEDS to know.  The second part (OPTIONAL) consists of detailed information on the atmosphere and storm structure illustrated with graphs, photos, and video. A typical session lasts between 1 1/2 hours and 2 hours.  Snacks and beverages are usually NOT provided.
