Answer 3

It means that some of the storms that form may turn severe. That very rarely means tornadoes and floods. The definition of severe means 30 mph winds or higher and small hail possible, and a lot of lightning. Really the only thing you have to worry about in severe thunderstorms is lightning.  They very rarely do damage, but there is always a chance of tornaodes and floods, but it is highly unlikely.  It also depends on where you live. Different areas experience different things.
