Workshop for Weather Service Storm Spotters

A free training workshop for people interested in becoming a National Weather Service Storm Spotter will be held this Saturday in Globe. It's from 1 to 3:pm at Gila County Emergency Services on Apache Avenue. To register call 402-8805.

You will learn how thuinderstorms work, how to identify cloud features associated with microbursts and tornandoes, visually estimate wind speeds, and how your reports tie in to warnings and advisories issued by the National Weather Service.

Anyone can be a spotter and if you like to pay attention to the weather, you’re encouraged to become involved.
