A warning is worse. It means that something (like a tornado) has been detected or the threat of one is imminent. A watch means the overall conditions are favorable to form bad weather (such as a tornado) in a general area.

∙ 9y agoThe exact difference depends on the weather threat in question, whether it is a hurricane, a tornado, or a flood.
However, generally speaking, a watch is issued if a given hazard is possible in a given area. A warning is issued if that threat is imminent.
A Watch is when someone tells you that the storm just has a little caution just to keep and eye out. And a warning is when someone tells you that this storm has a strong possibility of happening and so you need to take action.
A watch means conditions are right for a severe weather condition, a warning means that the condition has been observed in the affected area, it is more serious than a watch.

∙ 9y agoThe difference between a watch and a warning for a storm like a hurricane, hail, typhoon, or tornado is simple to remember. A watch means that weather conditions are right for a dangerous weather event. A warning means that the event has been sighted and is threatening an area.

∙ 11y agoA watch is when a bad storm may likely affect your area.
A warning is when a type of storm is coming very soon (hurricane) or occurring right now (tornado) and you should take action/take shelter immediately.

In contrast, the cognitive theory of emotion emphasizes the role of thoughts and interpretations in determining emotional experiences. While the biological theory emphasizes the automatic and innate nature of emotions, the cognitive theory suggests that emotions are influenced by individual perception and interpretation of events.
