The class offers a look into the world of extreme weather and discusses how to report dangerous weather observations. The course covers in greater detail storm structure, tornadogenesis, basic parameters NWS meteorologists look for to determine severe storm potential and basic radar meteorology. 

Attendees should first take the Basic SkyWarn Storm Spotter Class to have a basic foundation for the more advanced topics covered in this course. If you have not attended a basic training class or if you would like a refresher, please watch the these three short videos:
