Interpretation should include the following:
- A convective outlook outlines areas where thunderstorms are forecast during the day one period.
- First issuance is 0600Z and is the initial day one outlook valid 1200Z that day until 1200Z the following day.
- The other issuances are 1300Z, 1630Z, 2000Z, and 0100Z, all valid until 1200Z the next day.
- Outlooks issue qualifiers for the level of risk (SLGT, MDT, HIGH), as well as areas of general thunderstorms.
