As most of us know severe weather season starts next month.
I know it is a concern to us living here in tornado alley.
Here is a weather site that can be of tremendous help.
NWS Norman, Oklahoma - NWS Norman, Oklahoma Forecast Office Home Page
It will take you to the national weather service website in Norman OK. It will provide you with information where ever you are.
If you select a Doppler radar page, go to short range images, composite loop. This will give you real time storm movement. You can leave it up and click on automatic updates. It will also show watches and warnings on the radar screen in composite loop. It provides weather for all kinds of storms. Excellent for tracking winter storms too.
This is where the majority of TV, radio and internet sites obtain most of there information. I know that they have there own meteorologists but they still obtain a lot of information from the National Weather Forecast Office.
I do watch the TV (Rick Mitchell on KOCO-TV-5 in Oklahoma City) during severe weather but I also have a S.A.M.E. weather radio. I also have a scanner and monitor the local county storm spotters in the field.
The Weather Channel can be delayed by up to 45 minutes in providing local information
31 years in disaster work definitely teaches you to be prepared.
