What a Tornado Watch means
Conditions are favourable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. The Storm Prediction Center issues watches for large areas, often several counties or states, typically for 4 to 8 hours.
What to do during a Tornado Watch
Be ready to act quickly: review your shelter plan, keep phones charged with alerts on, and watch the sky and local warnings. A watch can turn into a warning with little notice.
Watch vs warning vs advisory
A watch means the ingredients are in place and the hazard is possible: be prepared. A warning means the hazard is happening, imminent or very likely: act now to protect life and property. An advisory is for less severe conditions that are still a nuisance or risky, and a statement is information that falls below those levels.
The companion product to the Tornado Watch is the Tornado Warning, with 0 active now.
