SPC Tornado Outlook

The SPC Tornado Outlook is a tool provided by the Storm Prediction Center to forecast and communicate the likelihood of tornadoes occurring in specific areas. This outlook is issued based on factors like weather patterns, storm activity, and atmospheric conditions. It categorizes the risk into levels—ranging from "Marginal" (low) to "High" (significant)—helping the public understand the seriousness of potential tornado threats. By staying informed through this outlook, communities can take appropriate precautions to ensure safety during severe weather events.
