A clock is usually issued hours ahead of a storm system by the storm prediction center of the national ocean and atmospheric administration, or a storm system. The purpose of a clock is to consume people in affected areas to monitor the weather conditions and to be informed about forecasts. They are released in a large area that can spread many counties or states.
No matter what type of watch is released, such as a serious thunderstorm clock or a tornado clock, they urge people to be ready to work quickly.
A warning is more important and calls for action immediately. This is released by the nearest National Weather Service Office when a serious weather phenomenon is either seen by someone on the ground or indicated on the radar. They are released for a very small area like a city or small county.
If a tornado warning for your area is issued, reach the lowest level of a building, find the most internal room, which is with many walls between you and outside, and cover your head.
No matter what the danger level, always take care when your area is expected to have severe weather.

The SPC continues as eight days before a storm on the continental United States of the United States. They look like a large switch of color on a map in the US and are based on the forecast model for a storm.
Meteorologists have analyzed further forecast models from storm systems to see atmospheric conditions that can be suited to issue any kind of weather alert. In the case of potentially severe storms, they see where moisture is and can also track cold fronts, which will help in fuel storm growth. They also consider the speed on which a storm develops and its severity on the forecast model to help determine how high to release a serious storm outlook and how high it is.
