The National Weather Service in Spokane is seeking volunteers who would like to become weather spotters.

A class will be held at the Internation Visitor Center across from the Kootenai River In on Highway 95 in Bonners Ferry from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday, May 22.

Weather spotters are the "eyes and ears" of the NWS and provide valuable weather reports, which cannot be replaced by other means. Your reports, coupled with radar, satellite, and other data, has enabled the NWS to issue more timely and accurate warnings and statements for types of hazardous weather including winter weather, flooding and severe thunderstorms.

To attend the class, RSVP to Kerry Jones of NWS, (509) 244-0110.
