Note: this is a test message. Please disregard.
Outdoor Warning Siren Test today at 10:00 am in conjunction with the statewide Torndao Drill. This is only a test.
Annual Tornado Drill: March 2nd at 10:00 am CST
Residents should treat the drill as if it were an actual Tornado Warning. The purpose of the drill is to test everyone's readiness for life-threatening severe weather events such as tornadoes, flash floods, and damaging winds. Local officials are encouraged sound warning sirens to initiate the drill.
Missouri's tornado drill will be issued as a true test tornado warning (TOR). Illinois' drill will be sent as the more typical Routine Weekly Test (RWT). More information on the differences between the two can be found here.
