Urgent Wind Advisory for Today from National Weather Service

Remember: CM will be updating throughout the day and links are posted in our weather section to both local Mesonet Stations and the National Weather Service. Stay tuned to local radio or Weather Radio, and remember that phone calls from Emergency Disaster Managers mean extra preparedness is necessary. For much of Adair County and other areas, Storm Warning Sirens would be used as necessary.

Larry Smith, FM 92.7 the WAVE and FM 99.9 The BIG DAWG, sent a reminder of an Urgent Wind Advisory for our area today.

By Larry Smith
