Big Spring - The National Weather Service is working to make all west Texans prepared for any situation.
One way they're doing that is through a Skywarn class. Big Spring residents can attend it March 21st at 7p.m. inside the City Council Chambers.
Area residents can find out March 21, as the National Weather Service will present its annual Skywarn class at 7 p.m. at the City Council Chambers — located at 307 E. Fourth St.
The class will include information on tracking and classifying storms and various weather conditions, but it’s not limited to emergency management officials and storm chasers.
The course will cover the most common severe weather situations for Howard County and the surrounding areas in hopes of preparing residents for the worst case scenario.
Similar classes are being held in Colorado City at the Civic Center (157 W. Second St.) on March 18; in Midland at the Midland College F. Marie Hall Academic Building Lecture Hall on March 19; and in Odessa (location to be determined) on April 16.
