CHARLOTTE — If you want to help make a difference in our local communities, now’s your chance to become part of the Severe Weather Watcher 9 team.
The National Weather Service will train volunteers during a two-hour event on May 21 at the WSOC studios in Charlotte.
During the Severe Weather Watcher 9 training, you’ll learn how to coordinate with local emergency management officials and send reports of weather-based phenomena to the NWS and Channel 9 during severe weather.
The Severe Weather Watcher 9 team also provides important information to warning forecasters, who make critical warning decisions.
Anyone with an interest in public service is welcome to sign up, but there is a maximum capacity of 24 attendees.
