The National Weather Service is offering free storm spotter training classes across Southeast Michigan. The SKYWARN program aims to train people how to recognize and report dangerous weather quickly. The classes, which are open to the public, typically last about 75 to 90 minutes and are free to attend. Participants must be at least 13 years old to submit official storm reports. The training also aims to inspire students to participate in citizen science, particularly as extreme weather conditions increase. The class can also help people feel more confident and informed about severe weather situations.
