Ted Buehner, warning coordination meteorologist with the Weather Service’s Seattle office, will train new and veteran weather spotters on how to look for and report significant event-driven weather incidents. Training will include video demonstrations and discussions.

The National Weather Service established SKYWARN to collect reports of severe storms, with nearly 290,000 trained severe weather spotters nationwide.
