Severe Weather Awareness Day to be held at the Science Spectrum & OMNI Theater Saturday, March 21st (10:00am to 3:00pm)
The Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society at Texas Tech University, along with KCBD News Channel 11, the National Weather Service, and the Science Spectrum, will be hosting Lubbock's annual Severe Weather Awareness Day on Saturday, March 21st, from 10:00am to 3:00pm at the Science Spectrum & OMNI Theater.
Activities will include hands-on weather experiments for kids of all ages, live weather science demonstrations with electricity and lightning simulators, information on severe weather preparedness, and door prizes. Storm Chasing and Emergency response vehicles, as well as weather instrumentation from Texas Tech’s Severe Storm Research Team will be on-site and available for all to see.
Forecasters from the National Weather Service (NWS) office that serves the South Plains area will also be in attendance. They’ll have information about weather safety and preparedness, as well as how and when they issue severe weather Watches and Warnings, and what those mean to your family in creating a plan for severe weather preparedness.
The public is also invited to come out and meet several of the KCBD On-air Weather team for a weather-filled day of fun! Kids can take a turn in front of a green screen and see themselves on camera giving the weather forecast for the day.
This is a *FREE event for the general public and will be located in the Science Spectrum's lobby and outside on its front entry area.
