"Watch" means conditions are right for tornado formation... so keep an eye out.

"Warning" means a tornado has actually formed and has been sighted. A funnel cloud does not become a tornado (or constitute a warning) until it touches the ground.

A watch means conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes. A warning means that a tornado has been spotted or indicated by Doppler radar and you should take cover immediately!

A tornado WATCH means that conditions are right for a tornado to happen- high damaging winds/the right mixture of tempurature, moisture and wind.

A tornado WARNING means that a tornado or funnel cloud has developed and to take cover. Tornadoes can be extremley dangerous. The best place to take cover is in a basement or bathroom.

Hope I helped!
