WATCH VS. WARNING

A watch is often issued before a warning. A watch means that we're monitoring for the possibility of severe weather. A warning means that severe weather is happening and you should take action immediately! (Copyright 2022 by KSAT - All rights reserved.)

With the likelihood of severe weather watches and warnings Monday, it’s important to remember the difference between a WATCH and a WARNING:

  • A WATCH means that we’re monitoring the weather as severe weather is possible.
  • A WARNING means that severe weather is happening and you should TAKE ACTION IMMEDIATELY.
