Severe Weather Midday Update

Then we continue to watch for a chance of severe weather in our area later on in the evening hours. At this time The  Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma has put most of our KMAQ Listening area under a level 3 or an enhanced risk for severe weather. While Cedar, Scott, and a small portion of southwest Clinton Counties are under a level 4 or Moderate risk. The main hazards include damaging winds up to 80 mph and tornadoes. The storms will be moving to the northeast at least at 60 mph, which means you will have less time to react when a warning is issued. The timing of this appears to be 8 PM to 10 PM according to the weather service. Stay with KMAQ and we will keep you updated with the latest information on this severe weather threat including watches and warnings, both on air and our KMAQ App.
