You can play a vital role in alerting your community when it comes to severe weather events. Kewaunee County Emergency Management and the National Weather Service are hosting a SKYWARN Severe Weather Spotter Training on March 19 in Luxemburg in hopes of adding more citizen scientists to their ranks.
The 50-minute course, led by the NWS, helps attendees 15 years of age and older identify severe storm features, learn where to safely position themselves during an event, and understand how to communicate their findings.
Last year, the state dealt with 39 tornadoes, while Kewaunee County experienced several severe weather events, including heavy snow and ice during the winter and flooding and high winds during the summer months. Kewaunee County Emergency Management Director Tracy Nollenberg says there is always a need for weather spotters.
The presentation will take place at the Kewaunee County Emergency Operations Center at the Kewaunee County Fairgrounds in Luxemburg beginning at 6:30 p.m.
