SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO AM) - The first severe weather awareness training session of the year is set a week from today in Menno
Sioux Falls meteorologist Todd Heitkamp says he’s been presenting the information for 21 years.
Heitkamp says some of the most difficult information to get across to the public is the difference between watches and warnings. Watches mean a severe weather event is imminent and warnings mean the severe weather is happening.
The Sioux Falls training session is Monday, April 20th, at the Washington Pavilion. It's free and open to the public and Heitkamp says after his two hour presentation, you'll never look at clouds the same again.
Severe weather awareness week in South Dakota is April 20th.
