Highlights special weather conditions
that are less serious than a warning. They are for events that may
cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised, it
could lead to situations that may threaten life and/or property. |
A watch is used when the risk of a
hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly,
but its occurrence, location, and/or timing is still uncertain. It
is intended to provide enough lead time so that those who need to
set their plans in motion can do so. |
A warning is issued when a hazardous
weather or hydrologic event is occurring, is imminent, or has a very
high probability of occurring. A warning is used for conditions
posing a threat to life or property. |
