Plain English
What these alerts mean
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 storm with hail of 1 inch or larger, winds of 58 mph or more, or both, is occurring or imminent. Move indoors and away from windows.
Conditions are favourable for flooding. Have a plan in case a warning is issued.
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.
Minor flooding of streets, streams or low-lying areas is expected. Expect ponding on roads and use caution when driving.
Critical fire weather: dry fuels, low humidity and gusty winds. Any fire can spread rapidly; avoid outdoor burning.
Conditions are favourable for severe thunderstorms with large hail or damaging wind. Keep an eye on the sky and on warnings.
Winds strong enough to make lake waters hazardous for small boats.
Flooding may develop over the coming days as rain, snowmelt or river levels rise.
