Statewide tornado drill in Kentucky Wednesday morning

As part of National Severe Weather Awareness Week, the National Weather Service and local agencies will participate in Kentucky’s annual statewide tornado drill on Wednesday.

The Emergency Alert System will be activated at 9:07 a.m., including your NOAA Weather Radio, local TV and radio stations, and cable.

Local emergency management agencies will likely test their storm sirens and review other safety procedures.

Families, schools and businesses are reminded to practice their own tornado safety plan this week.

If there is a threat of severe weather on Wednesday morning, the drill will be postponed to a fair-weather day.
