Public Information Statement

National Weather Service Quad Cities IA/IL

413 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024



Severe Thunderstorms are possible this evening and overnight 

across the area.



Now is the time to prepare for storms.  If you intend to move

vehicles or other property into shelter, do it now.  This

is also the time to move pets or livestock to shelter as

needed.



Remember that a watch means conditions are favorable for severe

weather.  It is your head's up that severe weather is possible in

the next several hours.  A warning means that severe weather is

occurring or about to occur very shortly and that you need to

take immediate action to protect your life.



Whether you are at work, home, school, or anywhere else, identify

your safe area now and be alert for warnings. The safest place to

be during a tornado or extreme storm is in a sturdy structure

away from windows in the basement or on the lowest floor in an

interior room such as a bathroom or closet.



If you are in a mobile home, camping, or outdoors, you should

consider going to a sturdy structure long before the storms

arrive.



When a warning is issued or severe weather threatens, immediately

seek shelter inside a sturdy building away from windows.  If a

tornado is possible, go to the safe area in the building

immediately!



If you hear outdoor warning sirens, first go to your safe area,

then seek more information.
