As we head into the time of year of more severe thunderstorms and other weather; to include Tornados, we would like to remind the members of our community the difference between a “WATCH” and a “WARNING”.

WATCH: A watch is when the risk of a hazardous weather event has increased significantly, but when or where is uncertain.

WARNING: A warning is issued when a hazardous weather event is occurring, imminent or likely to happen.

When it comes to a Tornado Watch vs Warning, the below is a good example how to remember the difference between the two. If you would still like additional information on how to learn and remember difference between Watch vs Warning, visit the National Weather Service website listed.
