It means you should monitor weather forecasts and prepare to take action. What's important about this tornado watch is that there is a HIGH LIKELIHOOD of tornadoes. The Storm Prediction Center (which helps issue these watches) says a few tornadoes are likely with a couple of intense tornadoes possible. Scattered large hail up to 3.5 inches thick and wind gusts up to 80 mph will be possible. The thunderstorms will be most numerous between 2 p.m. and 9 p.m. local time Sunday. The forecast (simulated radar) mid-afternoon Sunday, July 29 The forecast (simulated radar) during the evening Sunday, July 29 The forecast (simulated radar) after sunset Sunday, July 29 The thunderstorms will move to the southeast around 35 miles per hour. Keep an eye on the western and northwestern sky for incoming, hazardous weather. Have a way of receiving weather warnings. Have a backup plan in case you are outside. Always be weather ready!
