Environmental parameters this evening may also come together to support stronger, long-track tornadoes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Your Action Plan:<\/strong> Because conditions can change rapidly, it is vital to stay &#8220;plugged in&#8221; to the weather updates from now through the evening hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Review Your Plan:<\/strong> Now is the time to review your tornado safety plan with your family.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Know Where to Go:<\/strong> Ensure everyone knows exactly where to go (the lowest floor, away from windows, in an interior room) if a warning is issued for your area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple Alerts:<\/strong> As the National Weather Service emphasizes, no single method of receiving alerts is perfect. Ensure you have multiple ways to receive warnings &#8211; via weather apps, NOAA Weather Radio, or local broadcast coverage &#8211; so you can take immediate action if a warning is issued.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>We will be here tracking these storms every step of the way.
