———————————————————————–
The National Weather Service has issued a tornado watch for Barren County until 1 a.m. April 3.
A watch means “the risk of a hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain [and] is intended to provide enough lead time so those who need to set their plans in motion can do so. A watch means that hazardous weather is possible.” A warning is more severe; it is issued when the weather event is occurring, imminent, or likely.
This comes as Barren County is already under a flood watch until 7 a.m. on April 6 and a wind advisory until midnight tonight.
