SKYWARN Information |
Skywarn is a program sponsored by your National Weather Service Office in conjunction with
your local Emergency Management Organization. It is a group of trained volunteers that watch
the skies during severe weather and relay reports back to you local Emergency Management
Official and/or the National Weather Service (NWS). These volunteers provide valuable
information to the NWS to improve the warning program which could save lives and prevent
property damage in your community.
If you or your community is interested in sponsoring a Skywarn Program now is the time to
reserve your training session. The Houston/Galveston National Weather Service will be
conducting Skywarn classes during the months of January, February and March before the spring
severe weather season begins in April and May. These training sessions last around 3 hours and
can be scheduled during the day...in the evening or even on Saturday to fit your schedule.
Check out the links below for the latest Skywarn program schedule for southeast Texas. If you
live in or near these communities and are interested in becoming a Skywarn Spotter you are
invited to attend one of these sessions. For further information on particular programs please
contact Gene Hafele
at 281.337.5074 or listen to NOAA Weather Radio in your area for information on these programs as
they come closer.
