A constrained conditional model is a type of artificial intelligence that is used to predict future events. It is based on the idea that if we can constrain the conditions under which an event will occur, we can more accurately predict it. For example, if we know that a certain event will only occur when the weather is sunny, we can more accurately predict when that event will occur. 3, record 4, English, - constrained%20conditional%20model

On... November 2, 1882, the Princess Louise, riding high and light, was picked up by the Newfield at the entrance to the Cumberland Basin and the two headed down the Bay of Fundy in fine weather. Browne, with memories of the destruction of La Canadienne on a lee shore, had arranged with Captain Guilford of the Newfield that they should make for Digby in the event of bad weather and wait there for a favourable slant in which to nip round Cape Sable and up to Halifax. 2, record 14, English, - lee%20shore

Ayant présent à l'esprit le souvenir de La Canadienne venue s'échouer sur une terre sous le vent, Browne avait convenu avec le capitaine Guilford du Newfield qu'ils mettraient le cap sur Digby si le temps tournait à la tempête et qu'ils attendraient là qu'une brise légère leur permette de doubler le Cap de Sable et de se diriger vers Halifax. 2, record 14, French, - terre%20sous%20le%20vent

A WATCH is issued when the risk of hazardous weather has increased significantly but its occurrence, location, and/or timing is still uncertain.

Severe thunderstorm and tornado watches are usually issued 45 minutes before the event. Flood/flash flood watches are usually issued 3 to 24 hours in advance of the event. Hurricane, river flood, and winter storm watches, can be issued as much as 12 to 36 hours in advance. 6, record 16, English, - weather%20watch
