weather advisory

Forecast caution notice

A weather advisory is an official alert issued by meteorological authorities warning of potentially hazardous conditions—high winds, heavy snow, fog, or extreme temperatures.

Less urgent than a watch or warning, an advisory signals that conditions may cause inconvenience or danger but aren't severe enough to warrant stronger action: A wind advisory is in effect through midnight.
