To All:

This might be a good time to talk a bit about NWS weather terminology.

Many people operate under the impression that an ADVISORY ranks somewhere below a WATCH. Not so. Here is the actual ranking, from low to high:

Watch: Conditions are favorable for an event

Advisory: The event is expected

Warning: The event is happening

I thought this might be helpful, especially when assessing the threat of high impact weather events like severe thunderstorms or tornadoes.

Thus the NWS definition at the bottom of this advisory, letting everyone know the likelihood of this event happening.
