Convective SIGMET is issued for hazardous convective weather such as severe or
widespread thunderstorms. A localized SIGMET can be displayed when significant
weather conditions are not widespread.
The entire SIGMET or AIRMET is displayed as long as any portion of it is occurring
within the coverage area of the GFDS data request.
