Severe Thunderstorm Watch

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of strong thunderstorms that could produce hazards like large hail, damaging winds, or heavy rain. It doesn't mean storms are occurring right now, but it’s a signal for people to stay alert, monitor weather updates, and be prepared to take protective action if severe weather develops. It’s a proactive alert to help you stay informed and ready, especially if you are planning outdoor activities or need to prepare shelters.
