What is a tornado advisory?
There is nothing that is specifically called a tornado advisory, but there are two types of advisory that relate to tornadoes. A tornado watch is issued if overall conditions in a region favor the formation of tornadoes. Meaning there is a risk, but not an imminent threat. A tornado warning is more serious. This means that a tornado has been spotted or detected, or that observations of a thunderstorm indicate that one is likely to form soon. Each of these advisories has a subcategory. A PDS tornado watch (particularly dangerous situation) indicates that a system is likely to produce strong tornadoes. A tornado emergency is an unofficial variety of tornado waring that indicates a large tornado is threatening a populated area and has the potential to cause major damage.
Can tornadoes combine to be one big tornado?
Tornadoes can merge together, yes, and vortex physics predict that the combined tornado will be larger than either of the merging tornadoes. However, most tornado mergers involve a large tornado absorbing a small one, so the larger tornado is not affected very much.
When will the next tornado warning be?
Such a thing is impossible to predict. A tornado warning itself is a prediction that the threat of a tornado is imminent. As soon as signs indicate that a tornado warning is warranted, then one is issued. So there is no way of nowing when a tornado warning is going to be issued until it actually happens.
