SKYWARN is an area-wide weather preparedness campaign supported by the National Weather Service Office in Fort Worth (NWS). Representatives from NWS will discuss thunderstorm formation, ingredients, and features associated with severe storms. Participants will have the opportunity to become a storm spotter. Even if you don’t become an active storm spotter, you will learn about how storms work and the visual clues you can identify when storms are in your area in order to keep you and your loved ones safe. This event is free and open to the public. For more information, contact the Garland Office of Emergency Management at oem@garlandtx.gov.
