Weather Information & SKYWARN
One of the major duties of Sachse RACES volunteers is participation in the
National Weather Service SKYWARN program. SKYWARN nets are activated whenever severe
weather, usually with tornadic potential, is threatening Dallas County.
RACES members whom participate in SKYWARN nets are required to attend a
SKYWARN Training Seminar sponsored by the National Weather Service at least once every two
years. Dallas County participants usually attend the Garland SKYWARN seminar which
takes place annually on the last Saturday of February at the Garland Performing Arts
Center.
For more information on the SKYWARN program, contact any of the Sachse
RACES Radio Officers at [email protected].
