A cyclone watch is similar to a hurricane watch. A cyclone is an extra-tropical storm that occurs over the ocean. These storms are labeled differently in various parts of the world. With any weather system, a watch means that conditions are favorable for development. A warning means that a threat is imminent.
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.
A winter storm watch means that conditions are favorable for severe winter weather. There is potential for ice accumulation, freezing rain, sleet, or heavy snow. Watches are issued at least 12 hours before the hazardous weather is expected to begin.
No. A severe thunderstorm watch means that severe thunderstorms are likely to occur within a region. This means there is a chance for damaging wind gusts, hail, and perhaps even tornadoes are possible. Severe thunderstorms can also cause floods.
A severe weather watch informs you when the conditions are right for severe weather to happen, while a warning means it is happening or is imminent, and is warning you to take immediate action.
There is a tropical storm in your area that could be heading for your location. You need to prepare to take action to make yourself safe.
No. A watch means conditions are favorable for a storm to occur. A warning means the storm is there/has already formed.
A storm watch means that the weather has the chance of turning into a storm. A storm warning means that the weather has turned bad and is headed your way.

No. A warning means the storm has formed. A watch means conditions are favorable.
Knowing the difference between storm watches and storm warnings can save you life. A storm watch means that the current conditions are right for dangerous weather and to watch for them. A storm warning means that the dangerous weather is threatening the area at that moment.
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. A tornado watch is a weather advisory that indicates that conditions in a region are favorable for the formation of tornadoes.
Storm Watch was created in 2002.
A storm watch is when a hurricane is predicted to hit in 36 hours.

Yes essentially. A severe thunderstorm watch means severe thunderstorms are possible. A tornado watch means tornadoes are possible. Severe thunderstorms can cause damage, but not nearly as much as tornadoes potentially can.
it means not to watch lfe go by but to learn to enjoy it!
