How Do I become a SKYWARN person?? I live in Tullahoma TN and would love to do this. Can someone please explain the process to me please??

Knowing nothing about the subject but some quick googleing would suggest going here,
National Skywarn Homepage - Links then finding a local group would help you in your quest to finding out how to become one. A few years ago I became a NOAA "E-spotter" I found info on the NOAA website and went to a local meeting.

Go to a local meeting and they will go through a power point slide show of storms and tornados and stuff. They give you a card that has a phone number on it that you can call directly to NOAA's office.

You can go to NOAA - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration search skywarn and email the local coordinator for meeting times and dates.

This varies from office to office within the NWS. I know that some NWS offices issue cards after you "pass" a simple test at the end of their spotter talks, but the Indianapolis NWS does not.

To the OP, Tullahoma, Tennessee, is covered by the NWS office in Nashville. The list of spotter talks being conducted by that office can be found here:

Spotter Classes

Introduce yourself to the NWS staffer giving the presentation or to an amateur radio club member there to find out how to get involved with Skywarn in your area.
