Although there is still snow on the ground, meteorologists with the National Weather Service are preparing for the upcoming severe storm season.
Among their preparations are scheduling storm identification and safety presentations to help prepare storm spotters and weather enthusiasts for the upcoming storm season.
"Our staff will provide an in-depth weather presentation that will engage the audience by teaching them about the different types of storms, the individual storm features that help a person to recognize the storms' potential severity, how to report hazardous weather, and severe weather safety," the NWS team noted on the NWS-Wichita website.
