The threat of severe weather is returning to DeWitt County today. 

On the WHOW Morning Show Monday, Ed Shimon with the National Weather Service in Lincoln told the Hart Media Group that severe weather was present this morning in DeWitt County, but outlooks have shifted to a less severe outlook for Monday evening. 

Wind shear is what makes this particular system dangerous. While there is the possibility of tornadoes, Shimon notes that wind does not need to be circling for it to be damaging. 

Shimon reminds to have your severe weather safety kit packed full of water, snacks, flashlights, weather radios, and other essential tools. Keep it to WHOW to hear all the latest severe weather updates.
