TORCON of course is a completely made-up parameter, but I think I remember James Spann saying they look at something like 65-70 parameters when deciding that. Edit: I mean STI, which isn't a made-up parameter
Edit: There are still tornado warnings up this morning, been a steady line of storms rolling in. #alwx on twitter (any state weather can be found by #XXwx where XX is the state abbreviation - helpful.
Edit 2: Oh, *watches*, not warnings,
#BREAKING: @myfox8 evacuates their studio due to possible tornado passing near their station in High Point, NC.
