BARRON, Wis. (WJMC) — As we head into severe storm season, the National Weather Service and Barron County Sheriff’s Department are teaming up to provide volunteer SKYWARN storm spotter training.
The class is open and free for residents and emergency responders. SKYWARN is a NWS program that helps get critical, on-the-ground information to meteorologists, as storms develop and impact communities. These reports, along with weather radar and satellite imagery, help meteorologists issue accurate and relevant storm warnings and advisories, helping save lives and protect property.
Two training classes are offered on Tuesday, April 30, from 2 until 4 p.m. and again from 6 until 8 p.m.
