🚨 Yikes! 😳 The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) just issued a new discussion and indicated the potential that our area may be upgraded to a level 4 out of 5 risk for severe storms on Monday! That is rare and will let you know when/if this happens. Bottom line, have a severe weather safety plan and definitely have a way to get warnings! I of course recommend the 12 On Your Side weather app!
