was doing my #SkyWarn re-cert last night and shocked at how many people were joining from other NWS offices (Fargo/Grand Forks, several in Michigan/Wisconsin, etc.)

Local WFOs have been absolutely decimated and can't offer training classes they're so understaffed.

Forty-five people, including your correspondent, showed up for Metro Skywarn spotter training Saturday in Cottage Grove, suburban St. Paul.

That's thought to be a record high number of participants for a session hosted by the Southeast Metro Amateur Radio Club.

"SKYWARN spotters support their local community and government by providing the NWS and their local emergency managers with timely and accurate severe weather reports. These reports, when integrated with modern NWS technology, are used to inform communities of severe weather conditions that could threaten life and/or property."

We love watching the weather around here. And there's plenty of it!

#HamRadio #Skywarn #SevereWeather

After three hours of instruction on how to recognize key features of severe weather, ham radio operators learned how to use the spotting network to deliver localized storm reports. Anything from funnel clouds and tornados to trees and power lines down and various sized hail.

Slide: Spotters Outside of the Twin Cities Area featured a map of nearby counties in east central Minnesota where radio repeaters are located.

Thanks for the birthday wishes from my #teamJesus, #Skywarn. and #hamradio friends.

I may be live tomorrow between 4 and 11 PM ET covering severe weather in my area, and activating #Skywarn and using #HamRadio! So stop by and say hi if I'm live. Otherwise I'll see you all later!

Washtenaw County is under a "condition green" #skywarn net, checkins welcomed .

You can tune in on 145.15- MHz N8DUY repeater, PL 100. Or via the Internet on Broadcastify at https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/19998

I have heard @dzombak check in. I'll be monitoring, but not checking in just yet because my HT can hear the N8DUY repeater but can't hit it from the kitchen, and I do need to cook dinner.

@dzombak

I am listening to 145.15- PL 100, the N8DUY repeater which is the local #Skywarn repeater.

That repeater also is on Broadcastify at https://www.broadcastify.com/listen/feed/19998 so if you tune that you can spot yourself as well, there's enough of a delay in the stream (it says 60 sec) that you can key up and then listen for yourself a minute later.

Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti and vicinity:

Enhanced Risk of severe thunderstorms between 4:00 PM and 11:00 PM with wind gusts to 70 MPH or greater, large diameter hail, tornadoes, and heavy rainfall possible. Skywarn Spotter activation will likely be required.

Severe weather has started rolling in, and the local #HamRadio #SkyWarn net is active. Makes me wonder just how much longer both will exist. I wager at least one will be killed by Summer.

NWS Morristown TN has canceled the #Skywarn #severeweatherspotter training session scheduled for Thu, March 27 in Marion County TN.

NWS Huntsville has rescheduled the meeting for Dekalb & Jackson Counties AL for the same date, 6 PM CDT.
