National Weather Service Reports

This map displays the National Weather Service's watches, warnings, and advisories. Watches and warnings are classified into well over  100 categories .

  • An advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent or likely.
  • A watch is used when the risk of a hazardous weather or hydrologic event has increased significantly, but its occurrence, location or timing is still uncertain.
  • A warning is issued when a hazardous event is occurring, imminent or likely. A warning means weather conditions pose a threat to life or property.
