A Small Tornadic Activity Threat In Effect Into The Late Evening

While the current tornado threat remains low, meteorologists are continuing to monitor conditions across the area as we head into the evening hours. There is also a slight risk for a few, quick spin ups on Saturday.


The current tornado risk is sitting at a level three, shown in green, with a smaller level one risk in blue through midnight tonight. Officials say it is not considered a major threat at this time, but there is still some concern due to a significant amount of wind shear in the atmosphere, which can sometimes help storms become more organized.

Forecasters are also watching the possibility of a low risk for brief and weak tornadoes in parts of the area on Saturday. The overall threat remains limited right now, but residents are encouraged to stay aware and keep an eye on updated forecasts in case conditions change.


Even with a low tornado risk, it is always a good time to review severe weather safety. If a tornado warning is issued, move indoors immediately and head to the lowest level of your home or building. Stay away from windows, and if possible, take shelter in a small interior room such as a basement, storm shelter, or bathroom.


Weather conditions can change quickly during the summer months, so continue monitoring updates from local weather officials and have a plan ready before severe weather arrives.
