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.

Winter Weather Advisory

Snow, sleet or freezing rain that makes travel slippery is expected. Allow extra time and drive carefully.

High Wind Watch

Damaging winds are possible. Secure loose objects ahead of time.

Lake Wind Advisory

Winds strong enough to make lake waters hazardous for small boats.
