Winter Weather Warnings, Watches and Advisories

Warning – Take Action! Snow, sleet, or ice expected. Weather conditions are affecting or will affect your area very soon.

Watch – Be Prepared! Snow, sleet, or ice possible. Weather conditions are possible in your area for the next 12 to 36 hours.

Advisory – Be Aware! Wintery weather expected. Inconveniences are likely, and caution should be used due to conditions.

As February begins, we are in the midst of winter here in the Dane County, Madison, WI area.

It can be hard to predict dangerous storms, but the National Weather Advisory has developed signs to help keep us prepared and stay safe. In addition to the winter weather storms, there is also the possibility of flooding once the snow melts. Fortunately, the National Weather Service will issue the following flood warnings, and understanding them could make the difference to keep your family and property safe.

Please review the following description of the four flood warnings:

  1. Flash Flood Warning:  Issued when flooding is imminent, or already occurring. If you see or hear this warning, move to higher ground because this type of flood can be a sudden and violent one. It is hard to predict how long it will last and could take minutes to hours to develop, and it can happen even in areas that are not immediately receiving water.  
  2. Flood Warning: This kind of warning is issued when flooding is either occurring or is imminent. You need to take action and find a safe place for you and your family.
  3. Flood Watch: This warning is issued when the conditions are favorable for a specific hazardous weather event to happen and for flooding to be in the area. It is a preventative warning because it means that flooding could occur. 
  4. Flood Advisory: This type of advisory is issued when flooding is not expected, but the possibility is severe enough to issue an advisory. People should take caution because the situation could change.

Should you experience water damage from flooding, melted snow, or burst pipes, we are here 24/7 for emergency fire & water restoration services. #(608)-497-3331.
