With the first bout of severe weather a possibility in the area Wednesday night and Thursday, it's a good time to review some severe weather info. A Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado WATCH means conditions are favorable for the formation of severe weather, while a WARNING means a severe thunderstorm or tornado is occurring.

A Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado WARNING means its time to stop what you are doing and take action immediately.

The National Weather Service has put together a great Severe Weather Preparedness Guide, and can be downloaded HERE.

Be prepared. Be aware. Be Safe.
