Note from Sam Kuffel from 28 July 2021 explaining

"We often get questions about the difference between a Watch and a Warning, so here's an easier way to think about it.

Watch = Ingredients are there for it to happen
Warning = It's happening"

Then a picture of a bottle of jelly, a jar of peanut butter, a loaf of bread, and a butter knife captioned "SANDWICH WATCH"

Then a picture of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on a plate captioned "SANDWICH WARNING"
