A warning is generally the worse advisory. Although it differs depending on which sort of watch or warning is issued, a watch means a particular event is possible. For example, if there is a tornado watch, it means that conditions are favorable for a tornado to form. A warning means the event is expected or probable. In a tornado warning, for example, it means that a tornado has been spotted or is forming.
