Severe Weather just before Christmas



The Storm Prediction Center office is located in Norman, OK and their job is to watch out for severe weather and issue warnings in advance of a storm.  Public Safety workers, Emergency Management, Pilots and Storm Chasers watch the SPC website every day to keep track of important severe weather information.

This event may affect a larger area as time progresses.  If you have family and friends that live in the Southeastern US you should contact them to see if they are aware of the possibility of a severe storm.  The storms that may be see in this area could product damaging winds, severe thunderstorms and possible tornadoes.  The following states have the greatest chance for Tornado Warnings to be issued:  AR, AL, KY, TN & MS.
