Watch vs. Warning
Imagine you're baking cupcakes. A severe weather Watch, for example a Tornado Watch, is like having all your ingredients ready, knowing that conditions are right for cupcakes to be baked, but you're not sure if you'll actually bake them yet. It means a severe storm could happen, but it’s not certain.
​
A severe weather Warning, like a Tornado Warning, on the other hand, is like realizing your cupcakes are already in the oven—something's actively happening. Think about our Tornado Warning example. This means a tornado has been spotted or detected on radar, so it's time to take action, like getting to a safe place, because it’s already a serious threat.
