Wind has shifted to NNE from SSE. What part? I’m still straight ZR. Looking forward to sleet because these ice accumulations are getting wild.

Eskimo Joe Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Just now, mappy said: um. what. Statewide tornado drill. Here's the PNS: Quote 000 NOUS41 KLWX 201241 PNSLWX VAZ025>031-036>040-050>057-501>508-201400- Public Information Statement National Weather Service Baltimore MD/Washington DC 841 AM EDT Tue Mar 20 2018 *****VIRGINIA TORNADO PREPAREDNESS DAY - MARCH 20, 2018***** *****VIRGINIA TORNADO DRILL AT 945 AM TODAY***** Today is Tornado Preparedness Day in Virginia. At 945 AM, the National Weather Service will conduct a statewide tornado drill. All NWS offices serving Virginia will issue drill tornado messages at that time. The purpose of this drill is to provide schools, businesses, and residents of the Commonwealth with the opportunity to activate and test their emergency plans for tornadoes. The Virginia tornado drill will utilize a test tornado warning, just as in 2017. We will issue this test tornado warning under the standard tornado warning product PIL (TORLWX). NOAA Weather Radio will transmit the test warning as it normally would for a real tornado event, and the Emergency Alert System (EAS) will also be activated as if the drill were an actual tornado warning. However, the product text will clearly indicate that it is a test, and not an actual tornado warning. Therefore, anyone receiving the tornado drill via NOAA Weather Radio, or commercial radio and television, will be able to know that the activation is for tornado drill purposes. Questions about the Virginia Tornado Drill can be directed to: Chris Strong OR Jeff Caldwell NWS Baltimore/Washington VA Dept. of Emergency Mgmt. 43858 Weather Service Rd. 10501 Trade Court Sterling VA 20166 Richmond VA 23236-3713 (703) 996-2200 (804) 897-9730 [email protected] [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
