While it cannot tell him of the exact nature of the threat, Spider-Man can judge the severity of it by the intensity of the tingling. For instance, if an enemy passes by Spider-Man with no intention of interacting with him, the spider-sense would give a low signal indicating that he should be alert for a possible danger. On the other hand, if there is an immediate lethal physical danger to Parker such as a sniper taking aim and about to fire for a kill shot, the spider-sense's tingling would take on an almost painful intensity to indicate a need to take extreme evasive action without hesitation."
Wikipedia
No mention of were danger is coming from, Nightcrawler wins...
You know what Wikipedia is, right ? It's absolutely not official.
But why am I debating this ? I have seen lots of times Spider-Man thinking something like : Oh oh spider-sense tingling, there's danger behind that corner and so on.
He has fought more than once in complete darkness, only relying on his spider-sense to tell him WHERE or FROM WHERE his attacker(s) came from.
When he dodges from a surprise attack, he mostly dodges away from the attack, he's not dodging towards the attacker, there's a reason why he does that...
