Nope. A watch means the atmospheric conditions in general (synoptic and mesoscale) are conducive to development of storms that could produce tornadoes. Be wary, but go about your daily life.

A warning is an actual tornado as observed on the ground or by radar. Take cover!

The former usually precedes the latter, but not always.

If CBS blacked out the screen to announce a watch, shame on them. I think it was an actual warning, though.
