It happens every year, as warm moist air moves northward again with springtime force.

The severe weather can take many different forms, and each will be highlighted on a different day this week.

Monday, April 21 -- Lightning: Every thunderstorm contains lightning, so everyone of them is dangerous.

Tuesday, April 22-- Tornadoes: Do you know the safest place to seek shelter at home, school or work?

Wednesday, April 23-- Severe Thunderstorms: Some can be a s powerful and damaging as a tornado!

Thursday, April 24-- Flash Floods: West Virginia"s deadliest weather threat

Friday, April 25-- Situational Awareness: Increasing yours will help keep you safe during severe weather

Saturday, April 26-- Find out how you can help the National Weather Service by sending in your weather reports, photos and descriptions of severe weather!

Each day will feature different information releases by the National Weather Service, and both Ohio and West Virginia will hold a tornado drill in the morning hours mid-week.

When the siren blows in your place of work or study, will you know where to go? Why not encourage your family to participate in the drill? Be expecting the drill.

In the event of real or potential severe weather, the drill will be delayed until the next calm weather day, so as not to provide confusion.
