Understanding Severe Thunderstorm Warnings and Precautions

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning is an alert issued by meteorological agencies (like the National Weather Service in the U.S. or Environment Canada) when a severe thunderstorm is imminent or occurring in a specified area. Here’s what you need to know:

Key Features of a Severe Thunderstorm Warning:

Criteria for Issuance (varies by country):

U.S. (NWS): A thunderstorm is considered severe if it produces:

Hail 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter or larger (quarter-sized or bigger).

Wind gusts 58 mph (93 km/h) or stronger.

Tornado potential (though a separate Tornado Warning may follow).

Canada (ECCC): Similar criteria but may vary slightly by region.

Difference from a Watch:

Watch: Conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms (be prepared).

Warning: A severe storm is happening or about to strike (take action immediately).

Potential Hazards:

Damaging winds (can knock down trees/power lines).

Large hail (can harm crops, vehicles, and injure people).

Heavy rain leading to flash flooding.

Lightning (a leading cause of storm-related deaths).

Possible tornado development.

How It’s Issued:

Via weather radar, spotter reports, or observed conditions.

Disseminated through TV, radio, smartphone alerts (Wireless Emergency Alerts), NOAA Weather Radio, and apps.

What to Do:

Seek shelter indoors (away from windows).

Avoid using electrical appliances/plumbing during lightning.

If driving, avoid flooded roads ('Turn Around, Don’t Drown').

Stay updated via reliable weather sources.

Advanced Details:

Polygon Warnings: Modern warnings use polygon-shaped areas (instead of county-wide) for precision.

Impact-Based Warnings (U.S.): Some warnings now include tags like 'considerable' or 'destructive' to convey threat level.

Duration: Typically lasts 30 minutes to 1 hour, but storms may persist.
