... Missouri Summer weather safety day... may 24... 2013...
Memorial Day weekend is the traditional start of Summer across Missouri. Swimming pools will open... outdoor family gatherings will take place... grilling in the back yard will become a weekly staple... and families will be heading out on vacations to visit outdoor attractions. While Summer can be a great time... it is important to remember the weather hazards we also face during Summer. Two of these hazards that missourians have to deal with every Summer are excessive heat and lightning.
Friday... may 24... 2013... will be Summer weather safety day for Missouri. National Weather Service offices serving Missouri will send out excessive heat and lightning safety information in an effort to remind the citizens of Missouri to have a fun... and safe Summer. The media is encouraged to use this information and help spread the word on excessive heat and lightning safety.
