This is directional wind shear. It contributes to the formation of, ultimately, tornadoes.

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 severe storm warning is issued when a severe storm has already been detected and poses a threat. It signifies that severe weather conditions are imminent or occurring and people should take precautions to stay safe. It does not necessarily indicate that a severe storm might form in the future.
