SKYWARN Training Schedule 2026

The following is the latest 2026 NWS Boston/Norton SKYWARN Training Class Schedule for the Spring season. Please distribute widely to anyone interested in becoming a SKYWARN Spotter.

For Amateur Radio Clubs and groups, if these classes and dates don’t work for your club or group, our WX1BOX Amateur Radio team can assist with a SKYWARN class targeting your club or group with either a live or virtual/hybrid class. Some locations that we are looking at setting up over the next few months and will update as we get the classes setup include:

SEMARA, Southeast Massachusetts Amateur Radio Association, in South Dartmouth, MA
Westfield, MA
Braintree, MA
Gardner, MA
Annual SKYWARN Training at the Northeast HamXposition New England Division ARRL/Amateur Radio Convention – Special Friday PM session – Friday 8/14/26

Contact Information for KD1CY-Rob Macedo, Eastern Massachusetts ARES Section Emergency Coordinator & SKYWARN Coordinator is at the bottom of the page to setup a SKYWARN class for your Amateur Radio Club or group. We will provide updates on additional SKYWARN Training classes as they are scheduled.
