A tornado watch means the weather forcasters are watching for a tornado because the current weather says that there may be one.
A tornado warning means the weather forcasters found the tornado, and you better get the hell away from there.

a tornado watch means that tornado could form... the conditions are right.
a tornado warning means that a tornado has been spotted by someone, or on the radar they see a "hook." That is the place on a storm where most tornadoes form.

a watch means a tornado could develop at anytime since the conditions are right.
a warning means a tornado has been confirmed visually or by radar.
btw, once you hear the sirens it's too late.
