Excerpt from update:

https://www.weather.gov/media/notificat ... ckages.pdf

Effective on or about Thursday, May 15, 2025, the National Weather
Service (NWS) will change the issuance criteria for tropical cyclone
advisory products for Potential Tropical Cyclones. A Potential Tropical
Cyclone (PTC) is a disturbance that is not yet a tropical cyclone but
poses the threat of bringing tropical storm or hurricane conditions to
land areas. With the change, the National Hurricane Center (NHC) and the
Central Pacific Hurricane Center (CPHC) will have the ability to issue
tropical cyclone advisory products up to 72 hours before the anticipated
arrival of storm surge or tropical-storm force winds on land regardless
of the immediate need for land-based tropical storm, hurricane, or storm
surge watches or warnings.

72 hours? Hmm are they also extending the issuing time for TS/H warnings to 72 hours?

Sensible change.
