Severe weather season is right around the corner, so it’s time to begin preparing for the possibility of severe storms and their associated hazards. The first reports of severe weather in our area typically occur around late March or early April.
A news release says the Sedalia-Pettis County Emergency Management Agency will host a storm-spotter training session presented by the National Weather Service at the Pettis County Courthouse at 7 p.m. on Monday, March 19.
The training is scheduled to include: storm structure; important cloud types and clarity on the confusing ones; weather and safety tips; and sending weather reports to the National Weather Service through the web, email and social media.
The training is open to the public, and citizens are encouraged to attend.
