What is the difference between a tornado watch and tornado warning?
When the National Weather Service issues a tornado watch this means tornadoes are possible in your area. Watch the sky and listen to your radio or TV for updates. When a tornado warning is issued a tornado has been detected on the Doppler Radar or someone has reported a tornado in your area. Take immediate action.
