Advisory An advisory is a general term for an official weather notice highlighting an expected hazard, ranging from a specific tropical cyclone advisory to a shorter-form warning about localized conditions. Bulletin A bulletin is the formal, structured document PAGASA issues covering a tropical cyclone's current position, strength, forecast track, and wind signals in effect for specific areas. Ensemble Forecast An ensemble forecast runs a weather model multiple times with slightly different starting conditions, producing a range of possible outcomes used to gauge forecast confidence. Forecast A forecast is a prediction of future weather conditions based on current atmospheric data, computer models, and forecaster analysis. Forecast Confidence Forecast confidence reflects how much agreement exists across different weather models and ensemble members regarding a storm's future track and intensity. Numerical Weather Prediction Numerical weather prediction is the general method of using mathematical models of the atmosphere, run on supercomputers, to generate forecasts, the underlying approach behind every modern weather model. Probability Forecast A probability forecast expresses the likelihood of a specific weather outcome, such as the percent chance a given area will experience damaging winds from an approaching typhoon. Radar Radar detects precipitation and its movement by sending out radio waves and measuring what bounces back, giving forecasters detailed, near real-time views of rainfall intensity once a storm is close enough to land-based radar coverage.
