Storm spotter training and Information

All members of the Fillmore County Skywarn group are required to take the Storm Spotter Training class from the National Weather Service every 2 years to stay current on training and remain active in the group. NWS Lacrosse offers these classes every March/April at numerous locations throughout the area. Anyone wishing to join Fillmore Skywarn will first need to take the NWS training. Our group is always looking for more spotters in Fillmore and Mower counties. Contact Jim at KD0ORR@arrl.net for more information.

NWS Spotter Training Schedule for 2025 will be posted here when released
