storm watch
Severe weather advisory
A storm watch is an official alert that severe weather conditions are possible in a specific area within a certain timeframe.
It indicates conditions are favorable for dangerous weather—hurricanes, tornadoes, winter storms—but the threat isn't imminent or certain.
A storm watch is less urgent than a storm warning, which means severe weather is occurring or expected soon: A winter storm watch has been issued for the region.
