Severe Weather Awareness Week
Posted by ns62590 on March 24, 2009
This week has been declared Severe Weather Awareness Week. As a part of this week, Ohio will be doing their statewide tornado drill tomorrow morning at 9:50 Wednesday morning. This week is meant for residents to review severe weather preparedness actions for the severe weather season, which for our region in Northeastern Ohio is climatologically between April 1 through September 5. As I did last Spring, I have posted a Severe Weather Terminology page to refresh everyone’s memory on terms that I will be using during the Spring and Summer months. Beginning next Wednesday, April 1st, I will put the Storm Prediction Center’s Day 1, 2, and 3 severe weather outlooks and highlight the severe weather potential for Mahoning County for that particular day. As of last Friday, the first day of Spring; I added new links to the Storm Prediction Center and the National Weather Service Severe Weather Safety page. Use these links as well as Youngstown WeatherWATCH for all of your severe weather needs this season!
