The Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma, and the National Weather Service in Wichita would like to let the public know that a significant severe weather outbreak is expected Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening across Missouri, Kansas & Oklahoma.

Thunderstorms could produce hail the size of tennis balls, damaging winds of 60 to 70 mph and even a few strong tornadoes. If a tornado develops, it could be a strong long track tornado.

At this time review what you would do if a tornado would threaten your home or place of work. Where would you seek shelter? Do you have a way to contact family in the event you would be separated? If you are at home make sure you have sturdy shoes with you when you seek shelter. Also have a whistle in your place of shelter, in the event where you take shelter could have debris on top of it.
