The National Weather Service has scheduled a SKYWARN Weather Spotter Training Class at 7 p.m. today in the lower level of the Law Enforcement Center, 205 Sixth St. S.E.

The class will be conducted by John Paul Martin, meteorologist from the National Weather Service in Bismarck. Attending this class does not require an individual to become an official weather spotter. The class, which lasts about two hours, will focus on recognizing and understanding the different types of severe summer weather such as thunderstorms, down-burst winds, flash floods, hail and tornadoes.

The class is free and open to all organizations and individuals who want to become more familiar with how to identify severe summer weather. For more information, contact the Stutsman County Emergency Manager’s Office at 701-252-9093.
