Kinda concering that a lot of people on Twitter today didn’t know the difference between a tornado watch vs a tornado warning. So below is a thread explaining the differences and how both should be taken seriously!

A tornado watch means that tornadoes are possible in the area the watch is issued. Be ready to act quickly if a warning is issued or you suspect a tornado is approaching. Acting early helps to save lives!

A tornado warning means that a tornado has been sighted or indicated by weather radar. When an warning is made it best to go to an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building and avoid windows.

All my info was from the NWS!! For more info about the difference and what NWS and the SPC do during a tornado event check out this link. https://www.weather.gov/safety/tornado-ww
