It is unclear what is meant by the average risk. A large portion of the Mississippi and Ohio valleys was under a 2% or greater risk for tornadoes. About half of that area was under a 5% risk.

Is there a risk for strong tornadoes tomorrow for April 13th 2014?

It is too early to tell for sure, as there is always uncertainty in these outlooks, but the fact that there is a moderate risk outlook and the potential for tornadoes has been mentioned, a few strong (EF2+) tornadoes may be possible. However, the oulook states that the primary threat is expected to be hail.


Is there potential for a high risk of severe thunderstorms on may 11th 2014?

It is not likely. Currently the moderate-risk outlook has been issued for hail, for which the SPC does not issue high-risk outlooks. Only slight-risk outlooks have been issued for wind and tornadoes.

Was there a risk of strong tornadoes yesterday (March 25Th 2015)?

The SPC did not include a hatched area for tornadoes for March 25, which would indicate a 10% or greater chance of strong tornadoes within 25 miles of a given point. In fact, only a 5% risk area was defined for tornadoes overall. In most cases, this would suggest that strong tornadoes are unlikely, but it does not rule out the possibility. That at least one strong tornado (EF2 or EF3 by the looks of the damage) occurred shows that there was indeed such a risk.


Is the storm prediction center going to upgrade the slight risk to MDT for tornadoes April 6th 2014?

Probably not, though it probably can't be ruled out either. Typically, when a moderate risk outlook has been issued, the previous outlook had a relatively large area under a higher degree of slight risk (such as a 10% outlook for tornadoes). The 10% tornado outlook in this case is not that large, but again, an upgrade to the outlook probably can't be ruled out. That said, even if a moderate risk outlook is not issued, the SPC has mentioned the potential for strong tornadoes, and violent tornadoes have occurred under similar circumstances. SPC outlooks should be taken with a grain of salt, as a slight variation in weather conditions can make a significant difference in how an event will play out.


Where is the lowest risk of tornadoes?

The lowest risk of tornadoes is generally in regions located near the equator, such as the equatorial regions of Africa, Asia, and South America. These areas experience less tornado activity due to the lack of significant temperature variations and weather patterns conducive to tornado formation.
