\u2022 Tropical Storm Watch: A tropical storm watch is issued when a tropical cyclone, or typhoon, containing winds of 39 to 73 mph or higher poses a possible threat, generally within 48 hours. These winds may be accompanied by storm surge, coastal flooding, and\/or river flooding. The watch does not mean that tropical storm conditions will occur, it only means that these conditions are possible.<\/p>\n
