We appreciate those that took the time to attend the Skywarn Spotters Class yesterday evening. Names of those attending will be forwarded to each of the Skywarn net control operators for their consideration when running the severe weather nets. For those that missed the opportunity to attend this presentation, another opportunity is right around the corner. There will be a Skywarn spotters class, sponsored by Dave Tucek of the National Weather Service, on Wednesday, April 27, 1:00 PM at the Columbus Municipal Airport in the downstairs meeting room.
The presentation will last approximately two hours. Contact James C. Pridgen, director of security for Cummins, Inc. for additional information. His contact information is below.

Remember, the NWS firmly suggests that interested weather spotters (Skywarn participants included) attend a Weather Spotter training presentation AT LEAST every two to three years. Previous experience or net participation is not an acceptable exemption. Severe weather season is HERE. Let's be ready for it!

With Spring rapidly approaching, the threat of severe weather is becoming more imminent. To prepare all Hoosiers for the upcoming severe weather season, the Indianapolis Office of the National Weather Service has declared the week of March 6 through March 12 Severe Weather Awareness Week in Indiana.
The Statewide Tornado Drills are this Wednesday, March 9 between 10:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. and between 7:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. EST. Please notify your local SKYWARN spotters that their articipation would be much appreciated.
