Weather Channel's Tornado "TOR:CON index".

"The Weather Channel's Severe Weather Expert, Dr. Greg Forbes has developed the TOR:CON index to estimate the risk of a tornado on a given day or night near your area."

It's now 2:20 AM central time.  This is what the index indicates for our area at this time...

what this means is,  that at 2:20 AM,  if his index is valid and accurate,  he's saying there's a 50% chance that a tornado will occur within 50 miles of us.
When you all wake up again in the morning you'll be able to know if his forecast was up to snuff.

Ok, I think I understand. You can't say 50%, 60% or any percentage anymore. You have to say 5 or 6 or whatever percentage. What a great formula established by Dr. Forbes to replace an antiquated system.   

This will save time and improve the weather warning system.....by leaps and bounds.

BTW can we still say willy-wa......cause we had a real willy -wa this morning.

Power outage this morning but finally back on. I'm so addicted to coffee  

Love the spring but hate the spring storms that can wreak such havoc.

I do not miss all of the tornado sirens in Huntsville, AL this time of year.
