Watch Vs. Warning

4/30/2019 (Permalink)

Spring weather is in full force which means that so are summer storms. When watching for storms always make sure to know the difference between a watch and a warning. 

A WATCH is when a tornado threat could occur. The weather is indicting that a tornado may touch down, but no one has reported or seen an actual funnel cloud. This just means, it could be likely. 

On the other hand, a WARNING means that a tornado has been spotted, and the weather is something to take seriously. You should shelter in place, if you haven't already, when the tornado warning appears on the news or local radio stations.

Keep up-to-date with emergency preparedness kits and local news channels to make sure you are prepared when severe weather takes place in your area.
