Next SEMNARC Meeting March 22nd
The next SEMNARC meeting will be on Saturday, March 22nd at the Spring Valley Ambulance Station from 9-11am. The 2025 severe weather season is just around the corner, so we will be talking about Skywarn and our storm spotter group. The NWS spotter training sessions for the spring have now begun and there will be one offered in Olmsted and Fillmore counties in April. The full schedule can be found on the NWS Lacrosse website. We will discuss this further as well as the updated communication and spotter reporting protocol plans for 2025. Fillmore Skywarn is always looking for more volunteers, so get your training this spring and join up. We now have several options for communications. Anyone with an interest in Ham or GMRS radio or weather is welcome to attend our meetings and we monitor the Wykoff 147.015 PL110.9 repeater for talk-ins. The address is 100 Emergency Drive, Spring Valley. See you there!
