hurricane watches and warnings

"Hurricane watches and warnings" are official notifications issued by meteorological agencies to alert people living in a specific area about the potential threat of a hurricane. A hurricane watch is an early notification indicating that hurricane conditions are possible within the designated area within 48 hours. On the other hand, a hurricane warning is a more urgent notification indicating that hurricane conditions are expected within the designated area within 36 hours. These alerts aim to prompt residents to take necessary precautions and be prepared for the potential impacts of a hurricane, such as high winds, heavy rain, storm surge, and potential destruction.
