advisory

advertencia; boletín de advertencia

Se emiten advertencias para aquellas situaciones meteorológicas que causan inconvenientes considerables pero que no cumplen los criterios de una alerta, aunque es preciso tomar precauciones para evitar que la situación represente un peligro de muerte. Las advertencias se emiten para eventos importantes que están ocurriendo, que son inminentes o para los cuales hay probabilidades muy altas de ocurrencia.

advertencia

As used by the NWS, this term as a specific meaning that is intend to alert the population that certain weather or hydologic events (tornadoes, hurricanes) are imminent: "An advisory is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent, or likely. Advisories are for "less serious" conditions than warnings that may cause significant inconvenience, and if caution is not exercised could lead to situations that may threaten life or property." For COMET materials, we will consistently use advertencia. See warning and watch.
