SKYWARN is the National Weather Service (NWS) program of trained volunteer
weather spotters.  Storm spotters come from many walks of life, including
fire fighters, law enforcement, and amateur radio operators.  SKYWARN
spotters coordinate with local emergency management officials and send
reports of weather based phenomena to the NWS. In addition to serving as a
community's first line of defense against dangerous storms, spotters
provide important information to warning forecasters who make critical
warning decisions.  SKYWARN storm spotters play a critical role of giving
the NWS vital ground truth data, which helps the NWS perform its primary
mission, to save lives and property.

Graduate Storm Spotter Class (GSC)
Recently, the National Weather Service in Birmingham has discontinued
holding the Advanced Storm Spotter Courses around the central Alabama.  In
its place, we are now offering a Graduate Spotter Class (GSC) which will be
held twice a year after the completion of the Basic Spotter Classes each
season.  The GSC will be completed over the internet by way of a Webinar
and teleconference phone call.  Webinar allows you to sign on to the
website and follow along as one of the NWS Meteorologists delve deep into
the world of Meteorology.  Afterwards, you will be able to ask questions
directly to the NWS Meteorologist.
