WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WEATHER WARNING AND A WEATHER WATCH?
A three to five minute steady tone on the base siren will be used to alert personnel of an imminent peacetime emergency. If you should hear the alert signal, monitor radio, TV, base public address systems, or Security Forces for additional instructions. Do not tie up the base telephone system.

1. A Weather Watch is a notice to advise affected agencies of the potential for warning-level weather conditions before actually issuing the warning, allowing affected agencies advance notice to prepare.

2. A Weather Warning is a special notice provided when a weather condition severe enough to pose a hazard to property or life is occurring or is suspected to occur.
