... Safety rules for severe Summer storms...
A Tornado Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service.
The following information and safety rules may save your life.
A watch means that weather conditions are favorable for the
development of severe thunderstorms and possibly tornadoes.
During a watch... you should go about your normal business... but
stay updated on the latest weather developments and be prepared
to go to a place of safety.
A warning means that severe thunderstorms or tornadoes have
been reported... or have been detected by radar. People in the

Tornadoes are natures most violent storms. In a home... the best
shelter is in the basement under heavy furniture. If no basement
is available... get to the center of the house on the lowest floor.
Get into a closet... interior Hall or a windowless bathroom. Stay
away from windows and doors. Protect your head with whatever you
can... a heavy blanket or even your hands.
In a school... office or other type of institutional building... go
quickly to a basement if available. If none... go to a Central Hall or
corridor on the lowest floor. Keep away from outside walls... doors
and windows. Stay out of auditoriums and gymnasiums. If
caught there... get under or next to something sturdy.
If in a Mobile home... whether it is tied down or not... seek shelter
on foot to the nearest reinforced building.
If in a car and in open country... drive at right angles away from the
tornado. If in a car in an urban area... leave the vehicle and get to
a reinforced shelter.

NWS Forecaster Discussion
Area forecast discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 703 PM CDT Tuesday may 22 2012 Discussion...just removed Williams/Divide counties from Tornado Watch. Brief clearing behind front in northwest ND...however another area of clouds and rain showers/thunderstorms and rain approaching southwest ND from Montana supported by left exit region of h25 90kt jet streak. This area of activity is expected to be non-severe over SW ND...see Storm Prediction Center mesoscale discussion for additional details. Otherwise Tornado Watch remains in effect for much of northern and central ND through 11 PM CDT and Severe Thunderstorm Watch in effect until 1 am CDT for southeastern County Warning Area. Main activity thus far has been in northwest areas...including a Tornado Warning earlier on cell in Mountrail County. Best instability and shear remain along and ahead of low pressure system/frontal boundary so risk of severe/tornadic storms continues across the watch areas. Will update grids shortly to account for latest trends with some minor tweaks to probability of precipitation. && Aviation...mainly VFR conditions expected but convection near taf locations could lead to brief MVFR conditions this evening. Have continued tempo groups for thunderstorms near Minot and near Jamestown later this evening. Winds have shifted from the west at Williston. As the low pressure system continues eastward...the remaining locations will also see winds shift to the west through Wednesday afternoon. && Bis watches/warnings/advisories... none. && $$ Jns
