What does it mean if a thunderstorm watch is issued?
A severe thunderstorm watch means that general conditions in a region favor the formation of severe thunderstorms. It does not indicate any immediate threat. When a storm becomes severe or threatens to become so, a severe thunderstorm warning is issued.

Note, though, that if conditions are favorable for thunderstorms to produce tornadoes, a tornado watch is issued instead.
