A weather watch is typically issued when there is a possibility of severe weather occurring within a certain timeframe. In this case, the possibility of tornadoes tomorrow would warrant a weather watch. The other options either describe current weather conditions (B) or a confirmed severe weather event (C) which would typically trigger a weather warning instead of a watch. D) Heavy snowfall would warrant a winter weather advisory or warning instead of a weather watch.
