It’s Weather-Ready Wednesday! Never leave children, disabled or elderly adults or pets in parked vehicles. Studies have shown that the temperature inside a parked vehicle can rapidly rise to a dangerous level for children, pets and even adults. Leaving the windows slightly open does not significantly decrease the heating rate. The effects can be more severe on children because their bodies have not developed the ability to efficiently regulate its internal temperature. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/heat/children_pets.shtml #HeatSafety #WRW

This Weather-Ready Wednesday, know the difference between a severe thunderstorm Watch and Warning. A severe thunderstorm WATCH means BE PREPARED. A severe thunderstorm WARNING means TAKE ACTION. When a severe thunderstorm watch is in effect, stay informed and be ready to act, because severe thunderstorms are possible. When a severe thunderstorm warning is in effect, take shelter in a strong building, and get out of mobile homes that can blow over in high winds. Severe weather is occurring or will shortly. http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/thunderstorm/ww.shtml #SpringSafety
