The outdoor warning sirens are meant to warn people who are outdoors to go inside and seek information from local TV & radio. There is no "all clear" siren sound; if you hear our sirens going off a second time that means a second tornado warning has been issued for our county.

We're in a bit of a lull for snow right now (as expected). So, you may be wondering, where is the heavy snow?!?! Don't you worry, it's coming. Here is the approximate timing for onset of heavy snow this evening. Heavy snowfall rates of 1-2"/hr are expected, especially tonight.

FYI-Monroe County (north of Lucas County) tests their outdoor sirens on the last Wednesday of the month at 10:00 am. Thanks to low cloud coverage this time of year, the siren sound carries further and can sometimes be heard in Lucas County. Do not be alarmed if you heard them.
