This week is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Wisconsin. The week is meant to serve as a reminder for residents to prepare for severe weather events, including tornadoes and thunderstorms.
Various activities will be held throughout the week to promote safety and preparedness.
Tornado watch/warning drills Wisconsin will be held at 1:45 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. Thursday. The choice to activate sirens is a decision made by counties and cities. The NWS and others will also post on social media. NOAA Weather Radio will also activate with the Routine Weekly Test code.
