Tornado watches

A Tornado Watch means that weather conditions are favorable for tornado formation in your area. It does not mean a tornado is happening, but rather that the atmosphere could produce one. During a watch, stay alert, monitor weather updates, and be prepared to take shelter if a tornado warning is issued. Tornado watches typically cover a broad area and last for several hours, emphasizing the importance of being ready if severe weather develops. It’s an alert to stay aware and be prepared, not to panic.
