Good morning,

Because of ongoing storm survey operations across the region today, we need to postpone the Mahoning County Skywarn class scheduled for this evening. Our staff will be fully involved in survey efforts and unavailable to conduct the training.

We understand this may be inconvenient, and we thank you for your patience. Mahoning County EMA and the National Weather Service in Cleveland are coordinating to reschedule the class, and we will announce the new date as soon as it is confirmed.

Thank you for your interest in Skywarn and your dedication to severe weather preparedness. We look forward to your attendance at the rescheduled session.

Respectfully,
Freddie Zeigler
NWS Cleveland OH
