DALLAS — The National Weather Service on Tuesday issued a tornado watch covering most of North Texas. That advisory was later accompanied by a tornado warning in some areas of Parker, Wise and Tarrant counties.
There’s a distinct difference between the two advisories: while a tornado watch warns of conditions that are favorable for the formation of a tornado, a warning is a much more urgent advisory that requires people living in the affected area to seek immediate shelter.
If a tornado watch is issued for your area, you should begin to prepare for the possibility of a tornado. That includes charging important devices and identifying a spot in your home where you can take shelter if the watch is upgraded.
