A Tornado Watch means conditions may be favorable for the development of tornadoes and severe thunderstorms. Weather in the watch area could change and isolated tornadoes and severe storms may occur. Residents are encouraged to monitor updates and be prepared to take protective action if warnings are issued.
If you are in the watch area, follow guidance from the NWS and local emergency services and call 911 for immediate life-threatening emergencies.
