N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – Stutsman County Emergency Manager Jerry Bergquist has announced a SKYWARN Weather Spotter Training Class set for 7 PM on Tuesday, April 11th at Law Enforcement Center in Jamestown.

According to Bergquist, this is the first time in two years that a SKYWARN class has been scheduled for Jamestown.

“The class, which lasts about two hours, will focus on recognizing and understanding the different types of severe summer weather such as thunderstorms, down-burst winds, flash floods, hail, and tornadoes,” Bergquist states in a release. “The class is free and open to all organizations and individuals who want to become more familiar with how to identify severe summer weather.”

The class will be conducted by Warning Coordination Meteorologist John Paul Martin with the National Weather Service in Bismarck. Attending this class does not require an individual to become an official weather spotter.

“If you have previously attended this class, attend again. It’s a great refresher course that keeps you aware of the possible types of severe summer weather events in North Dakota,” Bergquist pointed out.
