Tornado questions

What is the difference between a tornado watch and a tornado warning?

A watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes over a broad area. A warning means a tornado has been sighted or indicated by radar for a specific area. Both are issued by the National Weather Service and reprinted here.

Is this page an alert system?

No. PerilRadar is not a warning service. For your own safety, use NOAA Weather Radio, Wireless Emergency Alerts and your local officials.
