As you may know, the stated mission of MemphisWeather.net is to protect, inform, and educate Mid-Southerners about severe and inclement weather. As a NOAA Weather Ready Nation Ambassador, we further our mission and partnership with NOAA and the National Weather Service. We appreciate your participation in this year's Severe Weather Awareness Week activities. From February 25-March 3, MWN will participate in Severe Weather Awareness Week, as designated by the state of Tennesseee and NWS, in a variety of ways, including posting valuable safety information throughout the week!
Besides safety information on the topics below, we'll also have giveaways throughout the week, including NOAA Weather Radios from Midland USA and free MWN apps with the StormWatch+ severe weather alert upgrade included!
