They are issued over a larger area that could span numerous counties or states.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No matter what type of watch is issued, such as a severe thunderstorm watch or a tornado watch, they urge people to be prepared to act quickly.<\/p>\n<p>A warning is more urgent and calls for action to be taken immediately. It is issued by the nearest National Weather Service office when a severe weather event has either been spotted by someone on the ground or indicated on radar. They are issued for a much smaller area, like a city or small county.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If a tornado warning has been issued for your area, get into the lowest level of a building, find the most interior room with as many walls between you and the outdoors as possible, and cover your head. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>No matter the threat level, always take caution when severe weather is expected in your area.<\/p>\n<h2>How meteorologists monitor severe weather\u00a0<\/h2>\n<p>Specialists at NOAA&#8217;s Storm Prediction Center monitor severe weather and can issue forecast outlooks days in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>They use a 1-5 rating system to categorize severe thunderstorms<strong>, <\/strong>with 1 indicating a<strong> <\/strong>&#8220;marginal&#8221; threat with isolated storms possible, and 5 indicating a &#8220;high&#8221; threat that includes widespread, damaging winds and\/or a tornado outbreak.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img alt=\"spc-categories.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/13\/ef55c900-3b08-43fe-8ce6-1d9761731597\/thumbnail\/620x349\/4a23233801e8ef5f7fbc74a0e95c0a63\/spc-categories.jpg?v=906a31f1d4c74cf15e139a5e9bae4f67 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/13\/ef55c900-3b08-43fe-8ce6-1d9761731597\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/7a70efdf527896bf5ffdb56f9e5cca35\/spc-categories.jpg?v=906a31f1d4c74cf15e139a5e9bae4f67 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The SPC issues these severe storm outlooks over the continental United States as far in advance as eight days ahead of a storm.

In the case of possible severe storms, they look at where moisture is as well as where cold fronts may track, which would help fuel thunderstorm development. They also consider the speed at which a storm develops and its severity on forecast models to help determine where to issue a severe storm outlook and how high to rate it.<\/p>\n<p>(Note: The map below is an illustration, not a current weather forecast.)<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img alt=\"spc-example.jpg \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/13\/e6e190ff-274e-44fe-b606-234849fbc03e\/thumbnail\/620x349\/3d835695858f9c29ed42ded86490d608\/spc-example.jpg?v=906a31f1d4c74cf15e139a5e9bae4f67 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/03\/13\/e6e190ff-274e-44fe-b606-234849fbc03e\/thumbnail\/1240x698\/adbabd677f794ebf2ba39d863c2f4368\/spc-example.jpg?v=906a31f1d4c74cf15e139a5e9bae4f67 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Different colors on the map indicate the categories for a severe storm outlook.
