New Winter Weather Warning and Advisory Products

The National Weather Service is changing the watches, warnings and advisories we issue for winter weather. We hope the changes will help make the information we provide simpler and easier to understand.

We'll still be issuing watches, warnings and advisories to let you know about the possibility of snow, sleet, freezing rain and extreme cold. The difference will be in the number of different message types you'll be seeing.

Here's a table showing the different message types you can expect to see beginning this winter season. All other message types will no longer be issued.

If you have any questions about the changes, send us an e-mail.
