Severe weather spotting class announced for Fond du Lac County

The National Weather Service has announced its severe weather spotting training schedule for this spring, and Fond du Lac’s training class will fall on April 8th.

The class will take place at 6:30 PM at the City County Government Center at 160 south Macy Street. The purpose of the training is to get the general public educated with what to look for in the identifying and reporting of severe weather. A National Weather Service representative will teach the difference between wall clouds and shelf clouds, hail sizes, wind speeds and tornadoes.

The weather service is hoping enough of the general public will learn what aspects of severe weather are needed for a severe weather warning and how to identify AND report that weather to the National Weather Service.

The class lasts about 2 hours and is free to attend.
