Preparedness actions...

Review your severe weather safety procedures for the possibility of dangerous weather today. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio,
weather.gov, or other media for watches and warnings. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form
during the next several hours. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, move to a place of safety, ideally in a basement or
interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building.
