With Spring Comes the Chance of Severe Weather

It’s spring, so that means the risk of severe weather is on the rise.  

What we actually get though may be a different story. According to Dave Clippert of the Pettis County emergency Management Agency, right now Pettis County is solidly in a Slight Risk (15%) for severe weather on Tuesday. As you can see on the graphic the areas in red and orange to our west are in the highest risk categories of Moderate (45%) and Enhanced (30%). You can also see on the graphic what the colors mean as far as the severity of storms.

According to Clippert, it looks as if we could see the start of some storm activity early afternoon on Tuesday, with the risk of severe weather starting around 7:00 p.m. Tuesday. Tomorrow is a good day to keep your eye on the sky again.
