Severe Weather Awareness Week is this week

This is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Iowa.

During the week the La Crosse National Weather Service will have special messages broadcast each weekday on the All-Hazards Radio from Decorah.

Alos, the Weather Service will hold a weather spotter training program Tuesday night at 6:30 at the Decorah City Hall. The two hour program is open to the public, with no advance registration required.

Winneshiek County needs additional "eyes" watching the skies for severe weather. Persons attending the program will receive a training certificate of attendance from the Winneshiek County Emergency Management Agency.
