severe thunderstorm warning
Dangerous weather bulletin
A severe thunderstorm warning is an alert issued by weather authorities when a storm producing dangerous conditions—typically damaging winds, large hail, or tornadoes—has been detected or is imminent in a specific area.
Unlike a watch, which indicates favorable conditions, a warning means the threat is confirmed and immediate action should be taken: A severe thunderstorm warning has been issued for the county until 9 PM.
