Why do tornadoes occur in areas that are at a 0 percent tornado climatology risk sometimes?
Few things are truly 0% or 100%. The risk of tornadoes occurring in an area is impossible to determine precisely. Localized factors affecting a storm, ones that are difficult to account for, may allow a storm produce a tornado when it otherwise might not be able to.
If you are referring to Storm Prediction Center outlooks, there is no 0% risk level. Tornado potential in these cases is generally only noted if some area is under a 2% risk outlook. If there is a risk that is less than 2%, there is still a risk, even if it is very small. Such predictions should always be taken with a grain of salt. The mechanisms that drive severe weather are complex and not completely understood, which makes them inherently difficult to predict.
What else can I help you with?
What does the 15 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
This qualifies as a moderate risk outlook. A 15 percent tornado probability outook can have a variable meanin due to uncertainty inherent in such forecasts. However, they may often predict moderate tornado outbreaks and sometimes major outbreaks. In such cases strong tornadoes are not uncommon and there is sometimes potential for violent tornadoes. As with other outlooks, some systems are far less severe than anticipated.
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 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 the 30 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
This qualifies as a high-risk outlook. A 30 percent tornado probability typically means that the Storm Prediction Center anticipates a major tornado outbreak with the potential for multiple long-track and violent tornadoes.
What does the 10 percent tornado probability from the spc typically mean?
Such an outlook is categoriezed as a slight risk. Tornado activty in such an instance can vary quite a bit as such outlooks come with a high degree of uncertainty. To a large degree what is likely to happen depends on the area covered. Such outlooks often indicate a few tornadoes, some of which may be strong, can occur, especially if there is a hatched area included. In some cases a moderate tornado outbreak may occur. Sometimes there is potential for one or two violent tornadoes. Again, though, as there is a high degree of undertainy in many cases, sometimes the forecast tornadoes fail to develop.
What is a tornado known as?
Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters.

What type of tornadoes are responsible for the most deaths?
mostly an EF5 tornado and sometimes EF3 or EF4 tornadoes
Is a tornado big?
yes and theyre sometimes called wedge tornadoes
Are tornadoes called anything or are thay just called tornadoes?
Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters, but tornado is the preferred scientific term.
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.
Is a tornado some times called a cyclone?
Sometimes tornadoes are called tornadoes, though it is technically incorrect to do so.
Do the Great Plains experience tornadoes?
Yes. The region is so prone to tornadoes that it is sometimes called Tornado Alley.
What is a nother name for a tornado?
Tornadoes are sometimes called twisters or (incorrectly) cyclones. Tornado is the term preferred by professionals.
Is there going to be a tornado hitting England?
Sometimes there is tornadoes in england. They are rare though.
What is tornado plural?
The plural of tornado is tornadoes.
