Dear UVM Students:

The National Weather Service has issued a Tornado Watch for all of   
Vermont until 6 pm this evening.  A strong cold front will approach   
and cross the region this afternoon with widespread thunderstorm   
activity.  With hot and unstable air across the region...conditions   
are ripe for many of these storms to become severe, along with   
damaging winds, large hail, and the possibility of a few tornadoes, in  
and close to the watch area. If you are in Vermont, you should be  
alert for rapidly changing  weather conditions and seek safe shelter  
indoors, should threatening  weather approach. Stay tuned to local  
media for up-to-date information.

In the event of a Tornado Warning for Chittenden County, Police   
Services will send an alert to everyone signed-up for CatAlert.
