+- Provide at least 2 sentences that describe the main forecast uncertainty or conditional factor, if present. (This could include, but is not necessarily limited to: discussion of the factors causing confidence or uncertainty; and/or conditional outcomes such as “if X occurs, Y becomes more likely”.)
 - Optionally, include 1-2 sentences that mention the next day or broader pattern if the AFD supports it.
