Bowling Green, Ky. - The Western Kentucky University Storm Team, in conjunction with Bowling Green and Warren County Emergency Management, will host a National Weather Service Spotter Training Seminar from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 9, in the auditorium of the Mass Media and Technology Hall.

One purpose of this seminar is to inform the public about severe weather especially since severe weather season is approaching in Kentucky. Participants can become severe weather spotters for the National Weather Service. The seminar will be conducted by Don Kirkpatrick, a WKU alumnus and forecaster from the Louisville National Weather Service Office.

A second purpose is to introduce the public to the WKU Storm Team and for Storm Team members and the interested public to become official NWS Spotters.

Admission is free and the public is invited. Refreshments will be available. Parking will be available directly across from MMTH on Normal Drive.
