Winter Weather Awareness

The key to making it through the winter season is to be prepared before harsh conditions are upon you.

The current forecast calls for the first taste of winter precipitation over much of the Commonwealth by early next week. It’s clear that winter has arrived early and that it is here to stay.

To help Kentuckians better prepare for the annual return of cold and snow, the National Weather Service (NWS) Offices that serve the state of Kentucky, in conjunction with Kentucky Emergency Management, have designated this week as Kentucky Winter Weather Awareness Week.

For the remainder of the week, Kentucky-serving NWS offices will have vital winter weather information posted in the “Top News” section of their websites and will be posting messages to social media. The web pages also serve as an excellent source for answers to your questions about what to do when the snow starts to fly and the mercury plummets.

For more information, visit your local NWS office online, at:

...SAFETY RULES FOR TORNADOES...

A TORNADO WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR THE DEVELOPMENT
OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WHICH CAN PRODUCE TORNADOES IN AND CLOSE
TO THE WATCH AREA.  IF YOU ARE IN THE WATCH AREA, KEEP INFORMED OF
THE LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.  THESE STORMS CAN DEVELOP RAPIDLY,
SO THERE MAY BE OCCASIONS WHEN ADVANCE WARNING IS NOT POSSIBLE.

A TORNADO WARNING MEANS A TORNADO HAS BEEN SPOTTED OR INDICATED BY
RADAR.  IF YOU ARE IN THE PATH OF OR NEAR THE TORNADO, TAKE
IMMEDIATE ACTION TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY.  FOLLOW THESE
SAFETY RULES:

IN OPEN COUNTRY, FIND A DITCH, CULVERT, OR OTHER LOW AREA AND LAY
DOWN FLAT.  COVER YOUR HEAD WITH YOUR HANDS FOR PROTECTION.

IN HOMES OR SMALL BUILDINGS, GO TO THE BASEMENT OR A SMALL
INTERIOR ROOM ON THE LOWEST FLOOR, SUCH AS A HALLWAY, BATHROOM, OR
CLOSET. USE HEAVY FURNITURE FOR SHELTER OR COVER YOURSELF WITH A
MATTRESS OR BLANKET.

IN MOBILE HOMES OR VEHICLES, ABANDON THEM AND GO TO A SUBSTANTIAL
STRUCTURE OR PLACE OF SAFETY.  NEVER TRY TO OUTRUN A TORNADO IN A
VEHICLE.

IN SCHOOLS, HOSPITALS, FACTORIES, OR SHOPPING CENTERS, GO TO
DESIGNATED SHELTER AREAS.  INTERIOR HALLS ON THE LOWEST LEVELS ARE
USUALLY THE BEST. STAY AWAY FROM GYMNASIUMS OR AUDITORIUMS. AVOID
ALL OUTSIDE WALLS AND WINDOWS.

THE KEY TO TORNADO SURVIVAL IS TO BE PREPARED AND TAKE IMMEDIATE
ACTION WHEN A WARNING IS ISSUED OR WHEN YOU FEEL THREATENED.
REMEMBER, THE ACTION YOU TAKE DURING A TORNADO EVENT MAY SAVE YOUR
LIFE AND THE LIVES OF THOSE YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
