Why doesn't the Storm Prediction Center use 5 Percent hatched tornado threat areas?
A hatched area for tornadoes means that there is an estimated 10% or greater chance of a significant (EF2 or stronger) tornado within 25 miles of any point. You cannot have a 10% chance of a significant tornado if the probability of tornadoes overall is less than 10%.
What does the 5 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
It can vary considerably as the is a fair degree of uncertainty. Usually it will mean a few scattered and mostly weak tornado will occur. Tornadoes stronger than EF2 are probably unlikely, though there are exceptions. This qualifies as a slight risk outlook.
