Q: WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WATCH AND A WARNING?

A: A WATCH means that severe weather is possible in and close to the watch area. Watches are issued for a large area for a large span of time. In most cases, there won't be severe weather all over the watch area, and in rare cases, there will be no severe weather in the watch area.

A WARNING means that severe weather is occurring, has been spotted or is likely. Proper action should be taken to protect life and property.
