Ball State Storm Chasers

Next meeting:
The next meeting will be March 27th at 7 PM in CL464. We will talk about elections and do a case study where we will bring everything that we talk about this year together and give you the opportunity to forecast where you think severe weather might occur.

Elections:
Information about elections at next meeting. Many positions will be opening up for next year. I will go over the roles for each position and let you know what you need to do to apply.

T-shirts:
The t-shirts are being printed. I believe they will be done either by the end of this week or early next week. We will discuss more on that come tomorrow.

Storm Chase meeting next Thursday in CL 464 at 7:15PM. We will talk about storm chasing ethics and safety.

After this meeting we would like to start getting everyone certified as a Skywarn Spotter, this is one of the requirements needed to be able to chase with us whenever we get an active period of severe weather. If you would like you can go ahead and do the training online, the link is provided below. This would be something we would take time to do the meeting after this one. All I need is a copy of the certificate at the end of the training. You can either print it out and drop it off in the MetLab or send it to our email or wait for the next meeting when we do the training.

If you have done the Skywarn Training provided by the NWS then you do not need to take this training course online. I will just need to verify your training.

T-Shirts: I will start making graphics within the next week or so and we will vote on the graphics that I have made.
