Stay Weather Ready this Severe Weather Season

The First Warn Weather team is happy to announce that we have once again partnered with Midland NOAA Weather Radio to help keep you and your family safe this severe weather season.  Each Wednesday for the next 10 weeks we'll be out at the local Schnucks and Walgreens stores throughout northern Illinois helping program your weather radio.  And if you don't have one, it's the perfect time to purchase one.


Next Wednesday, April 4th the First Warn Weather team will be at the Schnucks on East State Street in Rockford from 5pm to 7pm.  During this time you can stop by the store to purchase a Midland NOAA Weather Radio, or bring in your own radio if it's not working properly.


A weather radio is the perfect way to stay informed when severe weather occurs.  It's like your 'smoke detector' for severe weather and alerts you the minute a watch or warning is issued.  While many have alerts on their cell phones, a weather radio will wake you up in the middle of the night when severe weather occurs, allowing you to get to shelter. 


If you can't make it out next Wednesday, below is a list of the locations we'll be at over the next several weeks:
