Big March storm system threatens US with tornadoes, blizzards and wildfire risk

A Tornado Watch is issued by the NWS when weather conditions could produce a tornado, while a Tornado Warning indicates a tornado has been seen or detected on radar, according to the NWS.
Experts emphasize the importance of understanding weather alerts and being prepared, noting that an interior room, like a bathroom, is a good shelter during a tornado.
Approximately 1,200 tornadoes occur in the U.S. Each year, driven by large areas of low atmospheric pressure from storm systems, according to meteorologists.
Strong low pressure systems can create conditions for tornadoes during spring and fall, according to experts.
