Event Summary: SKYWARN Severe Weather Education Training is for everyone and provides an overview of how to observe and report severe weather to the local NWS office.

Event Description: Kerr County Basic Skywarn Training. The Austin/San Antonio Weather Forecast Office offers SKYWARN® and FloodAware training sessions to prepare citizens, first responders, emergency management, amateur radio operators, and volunteer organizations for hazardous weather threats specific to South Central Texas. These sessions also serve as an opportunity for the public to learn how to assist local forecasters with weather reports during these critical weather events. Public reports are often our most valuable data for warning decisions.
Basic SKYWARN® training is for everyone and provides a basic overview of severe thunderstorms, their hazards, how they form, and their structure. This session also goes into detail about how to remain safe during severe weather and how to report severe weather to the local NWS office.
Most SKYWARN® training sessions are conducted in the Spring to coincide with severe weather season, but other sessions may be offered throughout the year. FloodAware sessions also may be offered throughout the year. Scheduled training sessions are free and open to the general public. There is no pre-registration unless specifically noted.
Training is offered throughout the state begining in January. Check local and nearby NWS calendars for dates and locations.
