	Tornado warning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the United States, local offices of the National Weather Service issue warnings for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms on a per-county basis, narrowing down to parts of counties in many cases, and usually with a narrower pathcast of where the tornado(s) is expected to track within the area is mentioned in the warning message.
		Tornado warnings are generated via computer then disseminated through various communication routes accessed by the media and various agencies, on the internet, to NOAA satellites, and on NOAA Weather Radio.
		A warning should not be confused with a tornado watch (issued by a national guidance center, the Storm Prediction Center) which only indicates that conditions are favorable for the formation of tornadoes.

	Tornado Warning
		The exact mechanisms that cause a tornado to form are still not fully understood, but the funnels are always associated with violent motions in the atmosphere, including strong updrafts and the passage of fronts.
		Damage to property hit by a tornado results both from these winds and from the extremely reduced pressure in the center of the funnel, which causes structures to explode when they are not sufficiently ventilated to adjust rapidly to the pressure difference.
		Tornadoes are most common and strongest in temperate latitudes, and in the U.S. they tend to form most frequently in the early spring; the tornado season shifts toward later months with increasing latitude.
