Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa

Next week, March 22nd through March 26th is severe weather awareness week in Iowa. Each day will be a different topic to help you get ready for severe weather season.

Monday: Severe Thunderstorms
Tuesday: Warning Reception
Wednesday: Tornadoes (a statewide tornado drill will occur at 11 a.m. on this day)
Thursday: Preparedness
Friday: Flooding

This year the tornado drill will NOT be accompanied by the traditional test tornado watch and tornado warning. Instead, the tornado drill will be “activated” by the NOAA Weather Radio weekly test and on the National Weather Services social media platforms. This is a good time to practice your tornado drill.

It is also a good time to make sure you have the ISCN Weather App installed and push alerts enabled so you can get alerted before the warnings are issued!
