As part of the Kansas Severe Weather Preparedness Week, a test Tornado Warning was sent out at 9 am MST this morning. Typically, this warning is used to test NOAA Weather Radios, the Emergency Alert System (EAS) and serves as an opportunity for local jurisdictions to test their outdoor warning sirens.

When this WEA alert was issued, there was no wording indicating this was a test Tornado Warning.

The cause of this issue has been identified and corrected. We apologize for any inconvenience or anxiety this situation caused.
