Brownwood News – The National Weather Service (NWS) encourages all residents, businesses and schools across West Central Texas to practice your tornado drill on Thursday, March 5th at 10:00 AM or at a time/date that is convenient for you.

The NWS in San Angelo will transmit a Routine Weekly Test Message through the Emergency Alert System (EAS) on that day/time. Because of the test message format, it may or may not activate certain NOAA Weather Radios.
