Are you interested in the weather, and would you like to help local emergency responders and public works crews when severe weather hits our region?
If so, Warren County Office of Emergency Services and the National Weather Service in Albany have organized a free weather spotter training session for interested individuals the evening of Tuesday, June 9, 2026 in Queensbury.
This training will help expand our local network of volunteer weather spotters, who provide details about conditions around the county during notable weather events. Registration has opened for this free workshop through this online link.
Warren County will host this session to train residents as SKYWARN volunteer weather spotters, who help keep their local communities safe by providing timely and accurate reports about significant and impactful weather to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Participants will learn from NWS staff about hazardous weather events, weather spotting criteria, updated weather outlooks, how to make formal weather reports and more.
Warren County Office of Emergency Services is sponsoring the training.
Said Ann Marie Mason, Warren County Director of Emergency Services: “SKYWARN is an important program to assist our emergency responders and weather forecasters to make sure they have accurate and up-to-date information as storms affect our county. The training is informative and worthwhile for those who want to learn more about weather or want to help keep our emergency services personnel informed about weather conditions around Warren County.”
The training will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. June 9h at Warren County Sheriff’s Office Training Room, 1400 Route 9, Queensbury.
