The prime goal of the outlook is to give advance notice. Very few wind and heat outlooks are issued and an outlook for other events is even more rare. Outlooks are not cancelled but a Special Weather Statement will be issued if the threat diminishes. <h4>Example</h4> <div align="center"><table width="430" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5" border="1" bgcolor="#eaeaea"> <tr> <td><pre> FTWSPSFTW TTAAOO KFTW 151900 TXZ100-101-115-116-129-160200- URGENT - WEATHER MESSAGE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORT WORTH TX 100 PM CST SAT APR 15 1999 ...DUST STORM CONDITIONS MAT AFFECT EXTREME NORTHWESTERN SECTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS THIS HOLIDAY WEEKEND...
