Why are tornado watches issued in 5 percent tornado areas from the SPC?
A 5% risk area for tornadoes suggests an environment fairly favorable for tornado development, enough to warrant a slight risk outlook. Such conditions are sometimes favorable enough to warrant a tornado watch.
What does the 60 percent tornado probability from the spc mean?
This is a high-risk outlook. A 60 percent tornado outlook would mean that the SPC anticipates an extremely intense tornado outbreak with multiple violent tornadoes. Only one such outlook has been issued. It was on April 7, 2006. The event was far less severe than anticipated.
What does the 30 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
This qualifies as a high-risk outlook. A 30 percent tornado probability typically means that the Storm Prediction Center anticipates a major tornado outbreak with the potential for multiple long-track and violent tornadoes.
What is the chance of a tornado chaser dying as a result of a tornado in one tornado season?
It is not known. Only four storm chasers have ever been killed by a tornado, and all of them were killed in the same event in 2013. One fatal event does not provide enough datato calculate the probability of dying, though it does appear that the chance is very small.
What does the 15 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
This qualifies as a moderate risk outlook. A 15 percent tornado probability outook can have a variable meanin due to uncertainty inherent in such forecasts. However, they may often predict moderate tornado outbreaks and sometimes major outbreaks. In such cases strong tornadoes are not uncommon and there is sometimes potential for violent tornadoes. As with other outlooks, some systems are far less severe than anticipated.
Is April 27th 2014 the first high risk day with a 30 percent hatched tornado risk to not have a PDS tornado watch?
No. A PDS tornado watch has been issued for April 27, 2014.
Is this the second time there has ever been a sever thunder storm watch in a 10 percent tornado area from the SPC May 28 th 2014?
No. For one thing, the 10% risk of tornadoes was downgraded to 5%. Just looking at recent data, there were a few cases in 2013 when severe thunderstorm watches overlapped with 10% risk tornado outlooks.
