It is Severe Weather Awareness Week in Louisiana and today we are talking about the difference between a watch and a warning.
Even though it has felt more like winter lately spring is right around the corner, and that means severe weather becomes more likely.
Have a plan now in the event that severe weather impacts your area. Remember that a watch is a long term product meaning conditions are favorable for severe weather, while a warning is usually within the hour and means you need to take action to protect yourself.
