Hurricane Preparedness Week: Understanding Forecast Information
Day three of Mississippi’s Hurricane Preparedness Week is here.
The topic for today is understanding the forecast information.
MEMA officials urge you to rely on forecasts from the National Hurricane Center and local weather services like our WXXV Weather Authority team.
Know the difference between a watch and warning as well.
You should also know deadly hazards occur outside the forecast cone and keep in mind potential impacts regardless of storm size or category.
