Do you want to learn more about how to interpret cloud formations and recognize potentially severe weather conditions and also learn more about how severe weather develops and the actions you should take? If so you should sign up for the 2010 Basic Skywarn Spotter course offered by Ramsey County and Maplewood Emergency Management.
The class will be held on Saturday, April 3, 2009 from 8:00am to 12.00pm at Maplewood fire Station #2 1955 Clarence Street.
After you complete the course you may become a volunteer member of the Ramsey County Skywarn Unit. The Skywarn Unit is activated when the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Weather Service (NWS) have indications that conditions exist which could develop into severe weather.
I had taken the class back in 2004 and found it to be full of interesting information. I did become part of the Skywarn Unit for a short period of time until my schedule did not allow enough time to continue. But if you are interested in the weather (and what Minnesotan isn't) this may be for you.
If you wish to be part of the class you should call 651-249-2800 no later than April 1st to reserve your spot.
