...TORNADIC THUNDERSTORMS SPREADING TOWARD THE TRI-STATE...

A CLUSTER OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH A HISTORY OF TORNADOES AND LARGE
HAIL WILL SPREAD INTO THE TRI-STATE AREA OF NORTHERN
KENTUCKY...SOUTHEAST INDIANA...AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST AND SOUTH-
CENTRAL OHIO AFTER 330 PM. 

WHILE SEVERE WEATHER IS POSSIBLE FOR THE ENTIRE AREA...THE AREA OF
MOST CONCERN FOR SEVERAL STRONG TORNADOES...AND VERY LARGE HAIL IS
GREATEST FOR COUNTIES ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE OHIO RIVER FROM THE
LATER AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY EVENING HOURS.

A TORNADO WATCH IS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EST. REMAIN ALERT FOR
WARNINGS. FORM A PLAN NOW OF NOT ONLY HOW YOU WILL RECEIVE THE
WARNING INFORMATION...BUT WHAT SPECIFIC ACTIONS YOU WILL TAKE.

WHEN A WARNING IS ISSUED OR THREATENING WEATHER MOVES IN...SEEK
SHELTER IN THE LOWEST POSSIBLE LEVEL OF A STURDY STRUCTURE. PUT AS
MANY WALLS BETWEEN YOU AND THE STORM AS POSSIBLE. MOVE UNDER HEAVY
FURNITURE AND CONSIDER WEARING A BICYCLE HELMET TO PROTECT YOUR
HEAD FROM FALLING DEBRIS. CONSIDER THE EFFECTS OF POWER
OUTAGES...SO FLASHLIGHTS...WEATHER RADIOS...AND CELLULAR PHONES
ARE ITEMS TO BE SURE YOU HAVE WITH YOU.

THIS IS AN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. PREPARE NOW FOR POSSIBLE
TORNADO WARNINGS DURING THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING.
