Distinguish between a tornado watch and a tornado warning

What will be an ideal response?


Tornado watches alert the public to the possibility of tornadoes over a specified area for a particular time interval. Watches serve to fine-tune forecast areas already identified in severe weather outlooks. A tornado warning is issued when a tornado has actually been sighted in an area or is indicated by weather radar. It warns of a high probability of imminent danger.
