- a thunderstorm with potential winds at damaging speeds (Yes — NWS issues severe thunderstorm watches/warnings)
- tracking the path of a hurricane (Yes — NWS issues hurricane watches/warnings and advisories)
Not selected:
- a snowstorm predicted to arrive next week — NWS issues watches/warnings as a storm becomes imminent, but a week out they'd typically issue an outlook rather than an immediate alert.
- a summer rain shower — routine light rain usually does not trigger NWS alerts.
- tracking the path of a hurricane (Yes — NWS issues hurricane watches/warnings and advisories)
