Another Round of Strong to Severe Storms Tonight

What to Expect

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for much of the area. This watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms. These storms could produce damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain.

The storms are expected to develop this evening and continue into the overnight hours. The most likely time for severe weather will be between 8 pm and 2 am.

If you are in the area, be sure to take precautions to stay safe. This includes staying indoors and away from windows, and having a plan in place in case of a power outage.

Stay Informed

The best way to stay informed about the latest weather conditions is to listen to your local news station or check the National Weather Service website. You can also sign up for weather alerts from your local emergency management agency.

Be Prepared

In addition to staying informed, there are a few things you can do to prepare for severe weather.

• Have a plan in place. Decide where you will go if you need to evacuate, and how you will get there.
• Secure loose objects. Bring in any outdoor furniture or decorations that could be blown away by the wind.
• Have a battery-powered radio and flashlights on hand. In case of a power outage, you will need a way to stay informed and to see.
• Stock up on food and water. If you lose power, you will need to have enough food and water to last for several days.
