winter advisory

Freeze alert issued

A winter advisory is an official weather alert warning of hazardous winter conditions—snow, ice, sleet, or freezing rain—that may cause travel difficulties or other disruptions.

Less severe than a winter storm warning, an advisory indicates conditions that are inconvenient or potentially dangerous but not extreme: Schools delayed opening due to a winter advisory.
