An AFD is an "Area Forecast Discussion" which contains the meteorological
reasoning behind the forecast. The
ZFP or "Zone Forecast Product" -is the public forecast for the city of issuance and
surrounding areas. The PFM or "Point Forecast Matrix" is a
technical model point specific forecast. The HWO or "Hazardous
Weather Outlook" is a summary of potentially hazardous weather.
The graphical forecast is just that - the forecast drawn on a map for a
local or regional area.
