National Weather Service MapSevere Weather Warnings, Watches, Advisories Assigned By Color
A listing of warnings, watches, advisories and statements issued by the National Weather Service in the event of hazard or severe weather, arranged by color.
The National Weather Service of the United States (NWS) provides a useful online weather map for all warnings, watches and alerts issued. This NWS Map uses over 80 colors to represent these statements issued for forecast zones. The different colors indicate these events on a map. The NWS recently improved the map colors, increasing the number from only 30 colors to over 80. The colors are grouped by hue, to indicate cold or hot weather, and the level of importance. The National Weather Service updates the map every five minutes, presenting all the watches, warnings, etc in effect at that time. Difference Between Weather Warnings, Watches and AdvisoriesWarnings are issued for hazardous weather events occurring or having a high probability of occurrence, threatening life and property. A watch is issued for significant events, yet still uncertain of when and where it will take place. A watch gives enough time to prepare and seek shelter. An advisory is less serious than a warning, issued for special weather events which may cause serious inconvenience, or damage to property. List of Weather Warnings, Watches and Advisories for A - L
