Convective Outlook

A Convective Outlook is a forecast issued by meteorologists that predicts the likelihood and severity of thunderstorms over a specific region within a certain timeframe, usually 24 to 48 hours. It uses categories like Marginal, Slight, Enhanced, Moderate, and High to indicate increasing levels of thunderstorm risk, including severe weather threats such as large hail, strong winds, or tornadoes. These outlooks help raise awareness and guide preparedness for potential severe weather events, ensuring communities and individuals stay informed about possible hazards posed by thunderstorms.
