A tornado watch (SAME code: TOA, sometimes referred to as a red box by meteorologists and storm chasers) is issued when weather conditions are favorable for the development of tornadoes in and close to the watch area. In most cases, the potential exists for large hail and/or damaging winds in addition to the tornadoes.
A tornado watch must not be confused with a tornado warning: a watch does not imply that the severe weather is actually occurring, only that conditions have created a significant risk for it. If severe weather actually does occur, a tornado warning or severe thunderstorm warning will be issued.
In the United States, the Storm Prediction Center (a national guidance center of the National Weather Service) issues watches for areas likely to produce tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.
