A watch means just what it says...watch...watch out...a certain condition is right for something (tornado or something) to occur. Warning means just what it says...you are being warned that this tornado etc is coming your way and almost here. So a warning is worse since something has been seen.

∙ 13y agoWell a Winter Weather Advisory is usually issued when there is a potential of light to moderate snow and very light ice/sleet accumulations. Snow amounts much as 2 to 5 inches or depending where u live 1 to 3 inches. Depending on where you live a Winter storm watch is usually issued 24 to 48 hours before a winter storm arrives. An area that see's alot of snow it means 7 to 12 inches and people that don't see alot of snow they usually issue it when they could see 2 to 4 or even 3 to 5 inches. A winter storm warning also depends on where you live. If u live where u see alot of snow then it means snow accumulations of 9 to 15 inches or more and significant ice/sleet accumulations mainly range from 0.5 of an inch to as much as 2 inches of ice. also if u are issued a Blizzard Watch or Warning then you can expect 9 to as much as 30 inches of snow in less then 10 to 18 hours with wind as high as 20 to 40 mph and gust as high as 35 to 60 mph and last longer then 3 to 5 hours

∙ 14y agoA watch is issued when the risk of a winter storm is increasing, but its occurrence, location, or timing is still uncertain. As time advances, it could be replaced by an advisory or a warning, though a watch is issued when warning-level conditions are anticipated.
An advisory is issued when winter weather events are occurring, imminent, or likely, but the event is not expected to be as severe as with a winter storm warning.
The criteria for warnings vs. advisories varies across the country, as these threats are perceived differently in Minnesota vs. Alabama, for example.

What is the different between wind chill and air temperature?

How does wind chill kill?
Wind chill exponentially increases the detrimental effects of cold on the body.
What impact does increasing wind-speed have on wind chill?
Strongers winds make the wind chill colder.
What causes wind chill?
The wind-chill factor is a method for accounting for the effect of wind speed which affects the rate of heat loss of the human body. In cold, still air, we continually lose body heat at a rate depending on the temperature difference between the skin and the air, and the amount of insulation - like clothing - we're wearing. When the skin loses heat, it will cool to somewhere below 37 C. The colder the air, the greater the heat loss and the skin cooling. When the wind picks up speed it will carry away the warmish air layers immediately next to our skin and in our insulating clothing. The skin temperature is further decreased and we interpret that as our being in a colder environment. The greater the wind speed, the greater loss of that warmed air layer next to our body. There are two different ways, one used by the Australians and Europeans, another used by The USA and Canada. You can follow the links for more details. Both provide the actual formula for calculating the wind chill factor. The NOAA link has interactive charts.

What is wind chill advisory?
Wind chill describes the effect of cooling you further by removing the thin, slightly protective,layer of slightly warmer air that would otherwise form around you from your own heat. It does not lower the actual air temperature.A 'wind chill advisory' issued by the National Weather Service means wind chills near or below -25F though the actual temperatures may be significantly higher. ++ Thank you Richard for that additional information. It was new to me as I live in the UK where, apart from in the Scottish Highlands and some parts of Northern England,the climate is generally milder thanin many areasof the American continent. That means wind-chill is notusually a formal part of the UK weather forecasts beyond advice like "... minus 3 degrees but wind-chill will make it feel much colder". (degreesCelsius).
