NEWS RELEASE – February 13 2011
The National Weather Service Indianapolis office, in conjunction with
Illiana Skywarn, is sponsoring a Severe Weather Spotters' Training Class. The
class will take place on Monday, March 12, at 7:00 P.M., EST at the Berean
Baptist Church, 6770 North Clinton Street, just south of Sky King Airport.
This two-hour class is designed to train all emergency and/or law
enforcement personnel, teachers, students, scout troops, as well as the public
in how to properly identify and report severe weather events to the National
Weather Service. These events include hail, damaging winds, funnel clouds,
tornadoes and other weather phenomenon related to severe thunderstorms. This
class is free and open to the public. Seating is available on a first come,
first served basis.
Our main presenter will be David Tucek, Warning Coordination Meteorologist for
the National Weather Service in Indianapolis.
Since 1974, Illiana Skywarn has used Amateur Radio to exchange timely severe
weather related information with the National Weather Service office in
Indianapolis. Amateur Radio operators work in conjunction with the National
Weather Service, through their Skywarn program, to report severe weather events
as they are happening. This information is used in conjunction with weather
service radar data to issue weather warnings to protect the public.
Amateur radio operators, a talk-in will be on the 145.23 Skywarn system.
