When severe weather threatens, your local news or weather app might issue a "Tornado Watch" or "Tornado Warning." You might think these terms are interchangeable, but understanding the critical difference could literally save your life.
The recent severe weather activity across the Midwest, like those impacting areas covered by KWQC, has put these terms front and center.
Many regions, including those served by KWQC (a TV station in Davenport, Iowa, covering parts of Iowa and Illinois), have experienced increased tornado activity or threats.
