The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for Suffolk County until 3 p.m. today, July 16.
According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “A very moist environment and relatively strong to low/mid level atmospheric winds will support the potential for rotating storms capable of tornadoes and localized wind damage this morning into the afternoon.”
A tornado watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and near the watch area. Those in the area should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and watch for further alerts.
