Weather becomes cool and clear after a thunderstorm because of the instability in the air along the "frontal boundary" between warm air and cooler air pushing in behind it.
The reason it usually becomes cool after a thunderstorm is because after the storms have settled, the jet stream has pushed the warmer air further east and the cooler air has moved in its place.
Thunderstorms contain updrafts and downdrafts. The downdrafts (caused by falling precipitation) drag cold air down from the top of the storm. When this air hits the ground it spreads out in all directions. The air from this downdraft moving in the direction of the storm is called a "gust front" and arrives just ahead of it and brings a nice cool breeze on a hot day.
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 cold front is more severe because it is steeper.
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
A thunderstorm, most likely a severe thunderstorm.
The type of weather that you don't want to swim in is very severe weather such as thunderstorm because lighting is attracted to water so you'll be in a sticky situation if you swam in that weather.
A tornado is a violent windstorm generated by a thunderstorm. That qualifies it as a dangerous weather event, and therefore a form of severe weather.

severe thunderstorm warning or significant weather alert
Usually tornadoes are found in the southwest quadrant of the thunderstorm, which is the updraft portion, usually at the back of the storm.
A tornado is a violent vortex of wind that develops during a thunderstorm, which qualifies tornadoes as a form of severe weather.
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.
A tornado is a form of severe weather because it develops during a thunderstorm and is capable of producing substantial damage.
A tornado is type of violent, rotating windstorm that forms from a severe thunderstorm. They are once of the three severe weather hazards that the Storm Prediction Center tracks. The other two are thunderstorm wind gusts and hail. To a some degree tornadoes could be considered their own class of weather hazard.
Most severe thunderstorms do not produce tornadoes. If a tornado is detected or it is believed a storm might produce one a tornado warning is issued, which is more serious than a severe thunderstorm warning. A thunderstorm that produces a tornado is automatically classified as severe even if other severe weather (damaging non-tornadic wind or large hail) does not occur.
No. That would be a severe thunderstorm watch. A severe thunderstorm warning means that a severe thunderstorm ha already formed.
Severe thunderstorms often form along cold fronts, though not always.
