Statewide Tornado Drill Scheduled for Tuesday, March 2

February 26, 2020
Sheila Harris

     The National Weather Service in Springfield reminds residents that next week is annual Severe Weather Awareness Week.
     The highlight of the week is the statewide tornado drill which will be initiated by the NWS at 10 a.m. on Tuesday,
March 2.  Should hazardous weather be a threat, the drill will be postponed until 10 a.m. on March 4.

     The NWS will send a tornado warning out on NOAA weather radio as well as normal wire services. Note that test wording within the drill message will cause the warning to be filtered in NWS Chat and possibly other reception services.
     In addition to the drill, the NWS will highlight preparedness on the following days:
• Monday: Preparedness Day
• Tuesday: Tornado Safety Day
• Wednesday: Lightning Safety Day
• Thursday: Severe Thunderstorm Day
• Friday: Flood Safety Day
