A severe thunderstorm watch means that severe thunderstorms are possible at some point while the watch is in effect. A severe thunderstorm warning means that severe storms are occurring or about to happen in the warned area. The warning means that it is time to take action and seek shelter. The difference between a tornado watch and warning are similar. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes. A tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted from ground observation or radar, or when radar-indicated rotation could lead to a tornado. Sometimes dangerous weather may develop before a warning is issued. Get indoors anytime you feel that threatening weather is in your vicinity.
After some sunshine to end the week, we’re going to keep a little sunshine into the forecast to start the weekend, but then we have colder changes heading our way as we look ahead to end the winter season and ring in spring early next week.
With severe weather season right around the corner, the annual Michigan statewide tornado drill will be held during Michigan Severe Weather Awareness Week to help Michiganders test their severe weather readiness plans before spring severe weather arrives in Michigan.
