Virginia Severe Weather Awareness Week underway

Severe Weather Awareness Week in Virginia will run March 7 -11. Each day, WDBJ7 Meteorologists will discuss weather-related topics including severe weather safety, weather-related trivia, and a look back at severe weather events that have occurred in our area.

Plus, you’ll learn about WDBJ7′s new Weather Alert Day initiatives to make you are aware of impactful weather events long before they occur.

In partnership with the National Weather Service offices and Virginia Department of Emergency management, look for topics throughout the week.
