National Weather Service meteorologists will talk in McPherson on March 20 to prepare storm spotters and weather enthusiasts for the coming storm season. The scientists will teach about different storm types, how to recognize a storms potential severity, and how to report hazardous weather. The class starts at 6:30 p.m. at the Opera House, 219 S. Main. These are two of dozens of presentations that the service will make around the state from now until March 27. Some might be available online. Write to NWS.Wichita@noaa.gov.
