Tom and Brian Smith began coordinating this annual seminar some years ago with support and assistance from Fermilab, from the National Weather Service, the Severe Storms Forecast Center, and many others--with the sole intent of informing and educating the public, and emergency volunteers and professionals.

This Severe Weather Seminar is free and open to the public and includes multimedia presentations from many forecasters, researchers, and noted personalities from the meteorological world.

Everyone with an interest in understanding severe weather should come to this year's seminar and take part in this wonderful learning experience, but arrive early as seating is limited!
