Dear Resident,
In addition to the heat advisory and air quality alert in effect, the National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for our area until 10pm tonight. It is important to know that a watch means that weather conditions are favorable for severe storms and you should be prepared for the possibility, but they are not here yet. A warning indicated that the storm is occurring or is imminent and you should immediately take action and seek shelter. A watch can change to a warning very rapidly. Please ensure that you receive weather alerts. Learn how HERE.
