Severe weather threat Saturday, April 25, 2015

By Mike Keltner, Emergency Management Director

After attending a conference call with the National Weather Service this afternoon I wanted to share the information they provided with the citizens of Adair County.

NWS Meteorologist Joe Sullivan stated that this will be our 1st real risk for severe weather in 2015.

Severe Weather is expected between 12pm Noon CT and 8pmCT,
- All modes of severe weather are expected Saturday afternoon and evening.
- Tornadoes will be possible along and south of the warm front. Highest risk areas for tornadoes are in areas south of I-64 in Kentucky.
- Winds in excess of 65 MPH will be possible with thunderstorms.
- Very Large Hail will be possible with the thunderstorms.
- Flooding and Flash Flooding is a possibility with heavy rainfalls accompanying the thunderstorms.
Outdoor Warning Sirens will be activated from the Adair Co. 911 Center in the event of a tornado warning from the NWS, a creditable spotting of a tornado / funnel cloud, a storm threatening lives or creating significant property damage to residents of Adair County.

Code Red Alert Calling will include Tornado Watches and Warnings. Tornadoes can occur in a split second please be aware of the weather conditions in your area during a tornado watch. Also, take note that a Code Red call may be delayed or fail if infrastructure (phone lines - cell towers) are damaged.
