Stay Weather Aware This Morning! ⛈️
New event. Severe Thunderstorm Warning from 6/11/2026 7:38 AM to 8:30 AM CDT for Marion County, IA. https://inws.ncep.noaa.gov/a/a.php?i=128790379
The City of Pella uses an outdoor siren system to warn the public about potential weather-related hazards.
The system is designed to warn persons outdoors, not inside buildings or structures.
The following events trigger the warning system to sound:
🌟National Weather Service issuing a tornado warning with Pella included in the warning polygon.
🌟Severe thunderstorm warnings where forecasted or actual wind speeds reach or exceed 70 mph.
🌟Golf ball or larger-sized hail.
🌟When the sirens are triggered, they will sound for three minutes, followed by a 10 to 15-minute break for the duration of the warning period.
🌟The warning system does not provide an “all clear” signal, so citizens should monitor local media for updates during the storm.
