When certain weather conditions or patterns are recognized by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration or NOAA as is its abbreviation it will give out a warning for a certain area. Such areas are usually shown during television broadcasts for example with the anticipated area shown in a red outlined area on the map during the weather reporting segment. These areas can also be viewed on the internet as conditions change for a given area.
Depending on existing and changing conditions can have an effect on the time a warning goes out to the time a tornado may actually develop.
Although many warnings go out for larger more general areas anyone in that warning area should be prepared to take action as needed as a warning is basically saying that the conditions are ripe for a tornado to develop during the warning time period given.
We monitor tornadoes so that we can give people warning in advance, which allows them to take cover. These warnings have saved thousands of lives.
Scientists are studying the storms that produce tornadoes, looking for indicators of tornado development that could give earlier warnings.
Meteorologists may issue warnings for severe weather events such as thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, blizzards, extreme heat, and flooding. These warnings are important for public safety and preparedness, as they alert people to potentially dangerous conditions and provide guidance on how to stay safe. It is crucial to follow the instructions and advice given by meteorologists during these warnings.
Early warnings give people more time to get to safety, which saves many people from injury or death. Our modern warning system can even warn people of tornadoes that are hidden by heavy rain or the dark of night, tornadoes that would otherwise catch people off guard.
No, not according to my Weather Alert radio. There have been warnings in the past, though, and there likely will be in the future.
People research tornadoes to learn more about them and how they work. Partially out of curiousity and partially to get information that could improve warnings.
With a better knowledge of tornadoes we will be able to predict them with better accuracy, issue better warnings, and thus save lives.
Yes. Quebec does occasionally get tornadoes.
By studying tornadoes we can gain a better understanding of them. A better understanding can lead to better warnings, thus reducing the number of people injured and killed.
All Supervisors and Community Assistants can give warnings on WikiAnswers.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to predict a tornado in advance. Warnings have a lead time measured in minutes.
Yes, tornadoes can touch down at night. In fact, nighttime tornadoes are often more dangerous because they are difficult to spot and people may be asleep, making it harder to receive warnings and take shelter.
