There is always the potential for severe weather conditions in the winter, especially in central Illinois, and now there's a new and improved way to stay informed about warnings. 

Ed Shimon with the National Weather Service explains that they've revamped their website to make it easier for people to know when severe weather is possible and how to prepare for it. 

Shimon indicates that this website revamping came from the need to provide the public with a more dynamic way to access the most up-to-date weather safety information.
