Severe Weather Preparedness Week
This week is Severe Weather Preparedness week in Indiana. With that, you can look at the National Weather Service Indianapolis website for information about how to prepare for severe weather, and learn some of the terminology regarding severe weather. Specifically today, the topic was Outlooks and Watches. Primarily the difference between the two is the length of time that they are issued. Outlooks are issued up to 7-14 days in advance, looking at long term weather happening. Typically these include flood events and severe weather events, and can often be found on the Storm Prediction Center website. Watches are issued typically the day of the event, and a watch indicates that a specific event is likely to occur because the ingredients are there to produce it.
