What is a Tornado Watch?
Weather authorities issue a Tornado Watch when conditions are favorable for tornado activity. Storms moving through the area are known to cause brief tornadoes that could cause widespread damage. The storms moving through Schuylkill County now could produce some hail and damaging winds, short of a tornado.
If a tornado were likely or imminent, this weather alert would be upgraded to a warning.
In the meantime, NWS encourages people in the Watch area to move to interior rooms or the lowest floor of a building whenever possible.
