The National Weather Service (NWS) of Paducah aims to promote severe weather safety with a week-long educational campaign.
The Spring Severe Weather Safety and Preparedness campaigns cover Kentucky, Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana.
As part of the safety and preparedness week event, Kentucky will also hold a statewide tornado drill on Wednesday, March 3 at 10 a.m. CST.
Rachel Trevino, a meteorologist at the NWS of Paducah, said spring severe weather usually takes place starting in March and continues through May or early June. The most severe weather is expected in April and May. She also said this year looks to be on track to produce the traditional weather patterns for the area.
