The Storm Prediction Center in Norman Oklahoma, and the National Weather Service in Wichita would like to let the public know that a significant severe weather outbreak is expected Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday evening across Kansas and Oklahoma.

Thunderstorms could produce hail the size of tennis balls, damaging winds of 60 to 70 mph and even a few strong tornadoes. If a tornado develops, it could be a strong long track tornado.

At this time review what you would do if a tornado would threaten your home or place of work. Where would you seek shelter? Do you have a way to contact family in the event you would be separated? If you are at home make sure you have sturdy shoes with you when you seek shelter. Also have a whistle in your place of shelter, in the event where you take shelter could have debris on top of it.

Eagle Communications Salina urges you to have a safety plan in place at both work and home. Stay tuned to 99.9fm KSKG and 910 KINA for severe weather updates especially Tuesday afternoon into Tuesday night.
