Warning
A weather watch happens when meteorologists are seeing possible signs for a severe weather condition. A weather warning is when they have spotted an already formed condition and are worried about it hitting a certain area
Warning
If a moderate risk of severe weather is issued there will almost certainly be severe thunderstorm watches or tornado watches issued.
If it's an immediate threat it is a "warning" If not it is a "watch"
Yes. The extreme portions of western North Carolina were under a high risk outlook on November 15, 1989 and April 8, 1998. In a few cases where one was issued not far from there: On April 10, 2009 a high risk of severe weather was issued for parts of Tennessee, Alabama, and Georgia, coming very near the western tip of North Carolina. The western part of the state was under a moderate risk. On April 16, 2011 a high risk of severe weather was issued for eastern North Carolina. On April 27, 2011 a high risk of severe weather was issued for an area stretching across parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Tennessee, nearly reaching North Carolina. Part of western NC was under a moderate risk.

Waring is issued

Tornado
The severe weather watch is when a group of meterologist decide that conditions are appropriate for an abnormally severe storm to occur. They will then alarm the public that it is likely for one of these storms to occur. Therefore, it is a good idea to be on the look out to prevent injury.

A watch means that they think you might have severe weather, while a warning means you have severe weather, so get down!
In the United States most severe weather watches are issued by the Storm Prediction Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Warnings are usually issued by the local National Weather Service offices of the area affected. Hurricane watches and warnings are issued by the National Hurricane Center in Miami, Florida.
