Usage

This sub-box generates a meteorological information box specifically targeted towards tornado outbreaks. The header color changes depending on the highest tornado rating provided; the name stays the same. Use |tornadoes= to indicate the number of tornadoes in this outbreak.

This template supports two scales: the Fujita scale (priority) and the TORRO scale. These can be provided using the |fujita-scale= and |torro-scale= parameters, respectively. The version of the Fujita scale changes depending on the value. For example, supplying |fujita-scale=EF5 will make the template automatically use the Enhanced Fujita scale. Likewise, supplying |fujita-scale=IF5 will make the template automatically use the International Fujita scale. The color of the header may be overridden with the |category= parameter; supply a valid storm category color to change it.

The |basin= parameter can also be used to change the units; set it to atl or epac to switch the default units. To avoid units entirely, you may choose to pass text into the related values (e.g. pass {{convert|142|mph|kmh|abbr=on}}|winds= or |gusts=), but this makes later maintenance difficult, and is not advised.

This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/meteorology.
