**BEWARE**

With the storms approaching, stay aware and alert when it comes to weather conditions.

We want to take this time to remind you of the difference between a tornado watch and warning as there is a potential threat for these later today.

This is a helpful way to see the difference between a tornado watch vs. a warning.

🌪️ WATCH means a tornado is possible; stayed tuned and be ready to take shelter.

🌪️WARNING means it's happening now or is imminent and you should take shelter immediately.

Stay safe out there!
