Understanding winter weather alerts | Weather IQ

Показать описание
This winter, changes are coming to the cold-weather alerts issued by the National Weather Service.
The NWS has been working on hazard simplification for the last few years. Now, they’re consolidating and changing some of their cold-weather communication.
Some of the most notable for the Charlotte area:
Freeze Watches, Freeze Warnings, Hard Freeze Watch and Hard Freeze Warnings will be simplified to either a Freeze Watch or Freeze Warning.
Wind Chill Watches and Warnings will become Extreme Cold Watches and Extreme Cold Warnings.
Wind Chill Advisories will become Cold Weather Advisories.
A "watch" means particular weather is possible while a "warning" means it is occurring
