Such advisories are initiated by provider-issued watches, warnings, and advisories of hazardous weather conditions, for that provider’s locale. When a weather advisory expires, the corresponding Advisory component is automatically removed from this container. Note that sometimes, there may be more than one weather advisory at a time.

 NOTE: While any advisory is effective, under the WeatherReport for this locale, the CurrentConditions component reflects an alarm in its “Status” property. During this period, that WeatherReport also appears in alarm (and is colored red) in the Weather Manager view of the WeatherService,

The AdvisoryContainer’s default view is the Advisory Manager, a tabular listing of current advisories. Double-click an advisory for a popup showing all advisory properties, including the complete text “Description” and “Instructions” issued by the provider.
