    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 72 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 can also be 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 the WMO header WTNT61-65
    KNHC, and under AWIPS header MIATCUAT1-5.
