About Tornado Watch Tracking

Our tornado watch monitoring system tracks potentially tornadic weather conditions across North America, including tornado watches, severe thunderstorms, and marine warnings. Real-time data comes from the National Weather Service (US) and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), updating every 60 seconds.

Types of Alerts We Track

Tornado Watch

Conditions are favorable for tornado development in the watch area.

  • Typically covers multiple counties or states
  • Usually issued 4-8 hours in advance
  • Time to prepare and stay weather-aware
  • Monitor for possible warnings

Severe Thunderstorm Warning

Storm capable of producing damaging winds and/or large hail.

  • May develop rotation and spawn tornadoes
  • Typically 30-60 minute duration
  • Covers specific storm areas
  • Requires immediate attention

Special Marine Warning

Hazardous marine conditions including waterspouts.

  • Waterspouts can move onshore as tornadoes
  • Affects coastal and marine areas
  • Important for maritime safety
  • Often precedes tornado warnings

Mesoscale Discussion

Technical updates about storm development and potential.

  • Forecaster insights on storm evolution
  • Probability of severe weather
  • Timing of watch/warning issuance
  • Areas of greatest concern

Waterspout Watch (Canada)

Conditions favorable for cold-air waterspouts over marine areas.

  • Issued by Environment Canada
  • Common over Great Lakes and coastal waters
  • Can move onshore as tornadoes
  • Associated with atmospheric instability

Squall Warning (Canada)

Sudden strong wind increase over marine areas.

  • Issued by Environment Canada
  • Marine-specific severe weather
  • Dangerous for boats and coastal areas
  • May accompany severe thunderstorms

How to Use This Page

This page serves as an early warning system for potential tornado development. While our main page focuses on active tornado warnings, here you'll find the conditions that often precede tornado formation:

  • Monitor tornado watches to know when conditions are favorable
  • Track severe thunderstorms that could develop rotation
  • Watch for special marine warnings that may indicate waterspouts
  • Follow storm progression and intensification
