NWS Lubbock, along with the Science Spectrum and the Texas Tech University American Meteorological Society (AMS) Student Chapter, will host the annual 2021 Annual Severe Weather Awareness Day (SWAD) again this year. Due to ongoing COVID concerns, the event will be held virtually for schools only. We look forward to welcoming the public back next year.

NWS Lubbock created a short video for SWAD this year that includes information about what we do as meteorologists, how storms form, and how to stay safe from thunderstorm hazards. You can watch our video on YouTube at this link: https://youtu.be/3PZ8lWn-Cks |
At the end of our video, we mention a brochure that includes more information, as well as a printable family severe weather safety plan that you can put on your refrigerator! Click the link below to download the brochure:
