A tornado watch is issued when weather conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes in and close to the watch area.

A tornado warning is an alert issued by government weather services to warn an area that a tornado may be imminent. It can be issued after either a tornado or funnel cloud has already been spotted, or if there are radar indications that a tornado may be possible.
