Folks in Joplin may hear tornado sirens going off this Labor Day but they probably won't need to take cover.

The city is completing a final test of the city's storm sirens after new improvements. The upgrade included adding additional locations, installing solar back-up panels, and adding the ability to activate the system from multiple buildings.

The siren test will happen at 10 A.M. on Monday.
