alerta

As used by the NWS, this term as a specific meaning that is intend to alert the population that a certain weather phenomenon (tornado, hurricane, etc.) is imminent: "A warning is issued when a hazardous weather or hydrologic event is occurring, imminent, or likely. A warning means weather conditions pose a threat to life or property. People in the path of the storm need to take protective action." For COMET materials, we will consistently use alerta, though advertencia and alarma may be appropriate in some contexts. See watch and advisory.
