Watches and Warnings - On maps created for The Vane, the legend will also include a text listing of watches and warnings in effect as of that advisory, if any.

Watches and warnings are usually denoted by color-coded shading along the coastline of the landmasses impacted by the storm. As a general rule of thumb, everyone in the Atlantic and eastern Pacific use the National Hurricane Center's yellow/blue/pink/red color coding. These watches and warnings often extend farther inland than just the coast.



  • A tropical storm/hurricane watch means that tropical storm/hurricane conditions are possible within the next 48 hours

  • A tropical storm/hurricane warning means that tropical storm/hurricane conditions are possible within the next 36 hours.

The map above shows the watches and warnings in effect this afternoon for the Antilles in advance of Tropical Storm Bertha.
