National Weather Service (NWS) Watches & Warnings

A NWS Watch indicates conditions are favorable for the development of severe weather in your area.  Watches allow you enough time to make preparations.

A NWS Warning indicates that severe weather exists or is imminent in your area, and you should take shelter immediately.
