Plain English
A warning means the hazard is happening or about to; a watch means conditions favour it; an advisory is a lesser hazard still worth planning around.
A significant winter storm is possible. Prepare for hazardous travel and stock up ahead of time.
Heavy snow, sleet or ice that makes travel dangerous is occurring or imminent. Avoid travel if you can.
Snow, sleet or freezing rain that makes travel slippery is expected. Allow extra time and drive carefully.
A heads-up about conditions that do not meet warning or advisory criteria but still deserve attention, such as a strong storm, patchy fog or a brief burst of snow.
Sustained winds of 30 mph or more, or gusts to 45 mph, are expected. Use caution driving high-profile vehicles.
Flooding may develop over the coming days as rain, snowmelt or river levels rise.
Conditions are favourable for flooding. Have a plan in case a warning is issued.
