Hereâs why I chose the NASM certification! Did you need any sort of background related to the field going into the program? Nope, you just need to make sure that you have a current CPR and AED certification before you take the exam. How long does your certification last before you have to renew it?
Tornado Warning. This is issued when a tornado is indicated by the WSR-88D radar or sighted by spotters; therefore, people in the affected area should seek safe shelter immediately. They can be issued without a Tornado Watch being already in effect. They are usually issued for a duration of around 30 minutes.
Tornado season usually refers to the time of year the U.S. sees the most tornadoes. The peak âtornado seasonâ for the Southern Plains is during May into early June. On the Gulf coast, it is earlier during the spring. In the northern plains and upper Midwest, tornado season is in June or July. But, remember, tornadoes can happen at any time of year. Tornadoes can also happen at any time of day or night, but most tornadoes occur between 4â9 p.m. What is the difference between a Tornado WATCH and a Tornado WARNING? A Tornado WATCH is issued by the NOAA Storm Prediction Center meteorologists who watch the weather 24/7 across the entire U.S. for weather conditions that are favorable for tornadoes. A watch can cover parts of a state or several states.
