Stearns County is offering training for residents interested in becoming a weather spotter.
Skywarn Weather Spotter Training is offered by Stearns County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service. Attendees learn how to identify severe weather and what, when and how to report it.
Weather spotters are volunteers, who are activated by phone and dispatched to the location of the storm. When severe weather is identified, spotters report that information to the Stearns County Sheriff’s Office.
Four training sessions will be offered in March for those interested in learning more about the Skywarn program.
