How rare is a severe thunder storm watch in a MDT risk?

A severe thunderstorm watch is issued by the Storm Prediction Center when conditions are favorable for the development of severe thunderstorms, including the possibility of large hail and damaging winds. The likelihood of a severe thunderstorm watch being issued in a Moderate Risk (MDT) area will depend on various factors such as atmospheric instability, wind shear, and moisture levels. While a severe thunderstorm watch may not be extremely rare in a MDT risk area, it is still considered a significant event warranting attention from residents and authorities.

How does a town or city get put under tornado watch or tornado warning?

A tornado watch is issued by the Storm Prediction Center when general weather conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes. A watch is not issued for a particular location, but rather covers a large portion of one or more states. A tornado watch only indicates a general threat across a region and not an imminent threat. A tornado warning is issued by a local office of the National Weather Service if a tornado has been spotted or detected or if a thunderstorm has rotation that has a high chance of producing a tornado in the immediate future. A tornado warning usually covers portions of one or two counties based on the location, speed, and direction of the threatening storm.

A severe thunderstorm watch means that general conditions in a region favor the formation of severe thunderstorms. It does not indicate any immediate threat. When a storm becomes severe or threatens to become so, a severe thunderstorm warning is issued. Severe thunderstorms carry the risk for wind gusts to 58 mph or greater, hail 1" or larger in diameter, and tornadoes. Note, though, that if conditions are favorable for thunderstorms to produce tornadoes, a tornado watch is issued instead.


What is the difference between weather warning and weather watch?

A tornado/thunderstorm watch means that weather conditions are good for tornado/thunderstorm. A tornado/thunderstorm warning, however, means that conditions are extreme and a thunderstorm or tornado is likely. Conditions for either storm are very good at this stage.
