Severe weather notices
Storm warnings are official alerts issued by meteorological authorities to notify the public of dangerous weather conditions, typically involving high winds, heavy precipitation, or severe atmospheric disturbances.
These warnings prompt people to take protective action, such as securing property or seeking shelter.
The phrase also works figuratively for any early signs of approaching trouble or conflict: The CEO's tone in the meeting was a storm warning for layoffs ahead.
