No. A PDS tornado watch has been issued for April 27, 2014.
What does the 2 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
A 2 percent tornado probability typically means that isolated and probably weak tornadoes are possible.
What does isolated tornadoes mean?
Isolated tornadoes are tornadoes that do not occur as part of a significant outbreak. A storm system with isolated tornadoes may produce a single tornado or a small number of tornadoes scattered across a large area.
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 greatest tornado concern mean?
On a day when tornadoes are possible, some areas will be at greater risk than others of experiencing a tornado. The level or risk will also vary over the course of the day. Greatest tornado concern likely refers to the area and/or time where the chances of a tornado, and particularly a significant tornado, occurring are greatest.
