Storm spotter training sessions suspended after tonight’s class

Tonight’s National Weather Service storm spotter training in Jennings County is the last in person training event in the near future.

According to the agency, as of March 1st, all in-person trainings are being suspended. Previously, there were in person storm spotter trainings scheduled for Jackson and Decatur counties in our area. The agency says that virtual training sessions for volunteer storm spotters will soon be scheduled.

The trainings last about two hours and you will learn how to interpret cloud structures and radar images associated with severe weather.

Tonight’s seminar will start at 6 p.m. at the Jennings County Public Library on North State Road 3.

The training is free and registration is not required. You can find more information here. https://www.weather.gov/ind/spotter_talks
