I was informed by the NWS that they will get a report of new spotters on the 1st and 15th, and that my area doesn’t assign spotter IDs.

If I don’t have an email with more details by the 8th I should reach out. so, for my area, pretty trivial to become a spotter at any time!

Just finished the online skywarn training with passing grades on both sections. Does anyone know how to apply for a Skywarn number? I reached out to my local NWS office (Pontiac/Detroit), but wondered if anyone has done this path before?
