A watch means WATCH OUT.....it means condtions are right for a tornado to form. Now you need to worry when there is a PDS Tornado Watch. You generally only see those in tornado alley. PDS means Pretty Dangerous Situation and is marked by special words as in strength of tornadoes wind and hail. Also when a tornado approaches AM radio static may somewhat decrease in intensity but become almost continuous. Also TV low band will show you how severe a storm is. If the Thunderstorm upsets TV on high VHF enough to cause loss of sync it's time to worry. This assumes you are watching over the air analog TV. I'd expect it to blue screen a HDTV VHF signal.
