This product, the Tropical Weather Outlook, briefly describes 
significant areas of disturbed weather and their potential for 
tropical cyclone formation during the next seven days.  The 
issuance times of this product are 2 AM, 8 AM, 2 PM, and 8 PM EDT.  
After the change to standard time in November, the issuance times 
are 1 AM, 7 AM, 1 PM, and 7 PM EST.

A Special Tropical Weather Outlook will be issued to provide 
updates, as necessary, in between the regularly scheduled issuances 
of the Tropical Weather Outlook.  Special Tropical Weather Outlooks 
will be issued under the same WMO and AWIPS headers as the regular 
Tropical Weather Outlooks.

A standard package of products, consisting of the tropical cyclone 
public advisory, the forecast/advisory, the cyclone discussion, and 
a wind speed probability product, is issued every six hours for all 
ongoing tropical cyclones.  In addition, a special advisory package 
may be issued at any time to advise of significant unexpected 
changes or to modify watches or warnings.

NHC has the option to issue advisories, watches, and warnings for 
disturbances that are not yet a tropical cyclone, but which pose 
the threat of bringing tropical storm or hurricane conditions to 
land areas within 48 hours.  For these land-threatening "potential 
tropical cyclones", NHC will issue the full suite of advisory and 
watch/warning products.  Potential tropical cyclones share the 
naming conventions currently in place for tropical depressions, 
being numbered from a single list (e.g., "One", "Two", "Three", 
etc.). 

The Tropical Cyclone Update is a brief statement to inform of 
significant changes in a tropical cyclone, to post or cancel 
watches or warnings, or to provide hourly position updates between 
intermediate advisories when the storm center is easily followed by 
radar.  It is used in lieu of or to precede the issuance of a 
special advisory package.  Tropical Cyclone Updates, which can be 
issued at any time, can be found under WMO header WTNT61-65 KNHC, 
and under AWIPS header MIATCUAT1-5.

All NHC text and graphical products are available on the web at

graphical products can be found at

updated products for the 2024 season can be found at

In 2024, NHC will expand its offering of Spanish language text 
products to include all Public Advisories, the Tropical Cyclone 
Discussion, the Tropical Cyclone Update, and Key Messages for the 
Atlantic basin.  These products will use AI techniques tested in 
2023. Links to Spanish-language advisory products will be available 
on hurricanes.gov. Information on headers for Spanish language 
products can be found in the 2024 new and updated products for the 
2024 season at document
