The annual statewide tornado drill will be held Wednesday. The drill will be given over NOAA weather radios at 10 a.m. starting with a watch and then a warning. The drill is anticipated to end at 10:30 a.m.

The KCII Severe Weather Action Team will be live on the air walking you through the drill and providing interviews with area officials regarding preparations for spring severe weather.

If there is an actual severe weather event Wednesday, the drill will be postponed to Thursday at 10 a.m.

Listen to KCII for your weather updates; the KCII staff consists of trained weather spotters and even when the power goes out we stay on air with our back up generators.
