Storm Training
By Nick Hausen

PADUCAH (WSIL) -- Have you ever wanted to be a SkyWarn Storm Spotter for the National Weather Service? Here's your chance! The National Weather Service in Paducah is hosting Storm Spotter trainings across the region in late February and March.

The National Weather Service relies on trained volunteers to supplement Doppler radar information on severe storms

and tornadoes. These dedicated individuals volunteer many hours of their time to learn about and detect severe weather.

Their valuable cooperation is important in the warning process. Weather reports from trained spotters are used along

with Doppler radar data to issue warnings of tornadoes, severe thunderstorms, and flash floods.
