NWS St. Louis Storm Spotter Class

Overview

Description

The National Weather Service in St. Louis, in collaboration with the City of St. Louis Emergency Management Agency (CEMA) and St. Louis Community College, will offer its annual Storm Spotter Class on March 5, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. at the William J. Harrison Center, located at 3140 Cass Ave. St. Louis, MO 63106. 

The class covers how to identify hazardous weather and report it to the National Weather Service, which uses these reports to alert the city and its residents to dangerous conditions. 

The free interactive discussion allows attendees to hear directly from those trained to monitor, observe, and assess the hazards of severe weather, and to understand the basics of thunderstorm development, storm structures, and key features to look for and where to find them. All ages are welcome to attend, but a guardian is encouraged to accompany any minors. 

The class will last approximately two hours, and no registration is required. American Sign Language interpretation will be available through a partnership with the City of St. Louis Office on the Disabled. 

A second Storm Spotter Class will be offered in the City of St. Louis on April 16, 2026, at the BJC at the Commons, 4249 Clayton Ave. St. Louis, MO 63110. It will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will also have American Sign Language interpretation. 

Additional sessions are scheduled throughout the St. Louis area. Dates and times are listed at weather.gov/stlouis/spottertalks.tion
