SKYWARN
SKYWARN is a concept developed in the late 1960s that was intended to 
promote a cooperative effort between the National Weather Service and 
communities. The emphasis of the effort is often focused on the storm 
spotter, an individual who takes a position near their community and 
reports wind gusts, hail size, rainfall, and cloud formations that could 
signal a developing tornado.
SKYWARN is a voluntary program developed by the National Weather Service 
(NWS) to improve the warning program. Storm Spotter volunteers serve as 
severe weather spotters for the NWS and local emergency management 
programs, and generally have two things in common - an interest in the 
weather and an interest in serving their community.
SKYWARN storm spotters are part of the ranks of citizens who form the 
Nation’s first line of defense against severe weather. There can be no 
finer reward than to know that their efforts have given communities the 
precious gift of time–seconds and minutes that can help save lives.
If you are interested in becoming a SKYWARN Storm Spotter please join us 
at the US Coast Guard MSO located at 2901 Turtle Creek Dr, Port Arthur 
Texas 77642 on: Thursday February 5th from 6:30PM to 8:30PM.
The class will be put on by Roger Erickson from the Lake Charles 
National Weather Service.
