KTVO is pleased to bring state-of-the art, personal storm warning services to the Ottumwa-Kirksville area. Recent improvements in how the National Weather Service defines warning areas have resulted in significantly higher accuracy and smaller warned areas, compared to the decades-old county-wide warning method. The WeatherCall system continuously monitors the National Weather Service’s NOAA weatherwire.
As part of our mission to keep you and your family safe from severe weather, the StormTrack 5 Weather Team will begin declaring Weather Alert Days when severe weather will likely occur in the area and impact your safety. Why are we doing this? We want to give you the most warning possible on any dangerous weather that may move into the Tri-Cities area. By declaring Weather Alert Days, we are able to give you advanced notice sometimes days ahead of a potential weather danger.
