Tornado Watch 244 Probability Tables
The weather watch probability tables are experimental products
currently under evaluation at the Storm Prediction Center.
For each watch, probabilities for particular events inside the watch
(listed below in each table) are determined by the issuing forecaster.
The "Low" category contains probability values ranging from less than 5%
to 20%, "Moderate" from 30% to 60%, and "High" from 70% to greater than
90%. High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of
an increased threat for a particular event.
You may provide feedback on this experimental product by writing

Product Definition Document is available.
