There was a Tornado Warning. It was cancelled. Then another Tornado Warning. then it cancelled. Busy night. Glad it calmed down in NJ/NYC.

Tornado watches are issued hours in advance. They could be upgraded for radar rotation but they use warnings for radar rotation or weak tornadoes. If a strong tornado is confirmed they issue a tornado emergency. Frankly tornado warnings are used too frequently.

Just out of curiosity: Where is the trailer park in Manhattan?
Wherever Du-blasio is shacking up.

The buildings in Manhattan would introduce too much turbulence disrupting the organization of the tornado.

They look for hook formations on Doppler radar. The hook can turn into a real tornado in very little time. I say better to be safe.

No, I have fully lived my life in Tornado country. I have seen six. Nearly drove into one that came down in front of me.
Watches are for potential tornadoes. Warnings are for real ones.
Emergencies are a new construct.
And I was a spotter for my country in the 1980s and its why I went for my Amateur Radio license.

It’s a good thing we have weather station KWO35 up and running to keep us alert here in the New York city area. - Oh wait..

"Where is the trailer park in Manhattan?"If there were one in Manhattan, it'd be a vertical one. One trailer on top o' the other. Trailer parks are probably in Brooklyn or Queens.
On the news now they're talking about "violent" weather in Pennsylvania.

Residents near New York City are bracing for the impact of a possible tornado that could bring strong winds and possible flash floods to the area. Whoever wrote this has no idea about severe storms or editing.

Everything is different here on the east coast. They issue tornado warning for radar storm rotation. That means a rotating storm, not a tornado although it can be a precursor. Only a small percentage of tornado warnings here are for actual tornadoes. I don’t know the percentage but I’d guess about 10%.

That is a disgusting percentage. Im sorry theyve made it like The Boy who Cried Wolf. That's exactly what I would have feared.
In the midwest, what Ive said is how its handled.
The other FReeper said they issue Emergencies for actual tornadoes, but NOAA weather radios have no setting for such a beast. Emergencies = Warnings
