Among their preparations is scheduling storm identification and safety presentations to help prepare storm watchers and weather enthusiasts for the upcoming storm season.
“Our staff will provide an in-depth weather presentation that will engage the audience by teaching them about different types of storms, characteristics of individual storms that help a person recognize the potential severity of storms, how to report dangerous weather conditions, and severe weather safety,” he noted the NWS team on the NWS-Wichita website.
