It appears there is a huge misconception about tornado sirens. They are not meant to be used as way to receive indoor warning. If you are relying on tornado sirens to be warned indoors, you are putting yourself at risk. You must have a reliable method to get indoor warnings. WEA, Apps, Weather radio, etc. are all far better.

A few strong storms may be possible early this morning, but the bigger threat for severe weather will arrive later tonight and continue into early Wednesday morning.

While our weather has been nice for the last few days, it is getting ready to make a sharp U-turn. While the NWS is still refining their forecast over the next 12-18 hours, it does seem like we will get an accumulating snowfall Monday night into Tuesday. #kywx
