This is Fall Severe Weather Safety Week, but residents of western Kentucky shouldn’t need a reminder of how dangerous storms late in the year can be.
Christian County Emergency Management Director Randy Graham says tornadoes can happen any time during the year and the fall season often sees severe weather due to cold and warm air masses clashing and creating instability.
He urges families to go over their plan for what to do if a warning is issued and to remain weather-aware.
The National Weather Service in Paducah will be placing messages on its social media outlets and website this week looking to remind residents of the best ways to be safe when severe weather is in the forecast.
