Criteria
The National Weather Service issues a significant weather advisory for strong thunderstorms (and occasionally, other weather situations such as downbursts) that may not pose any threat or pose limited threat to life and property; it is typically issued if the hail size in a thunderstorm is less than 1 inch in diameter, and/or winds less than 58 miles per hour (90 km/h). The product is mainly used by forecast offices located in the National Weather Service's Southern Region Headquarters. Many NWS offices do not use the significant weather advisory title and instead just use no warning text, though.
This product is not an official product, instead it is issued within a special weather statement product. Special weather statements are also used for any type of weather approaching watch/warning/advisory level. Many offices do not use significant weather advisories, instead issue normal special weather statements mentioning much of the same text used in a significant weather alert.

“There are ... two minimum conditions necessary and sufficient for the existence of a legal system. On the one hand those rules of behavior which are valid according to the system’s ultimate criteria of validity must be generally obeyed, and on the other hand, its rules of recognition specifying the criteria of legal validity and its rules of change and adjudication must be effectively accepted as common public standards of official behavior by its officials.”
—H.L.A. (Herbert Lionel Adolphus)
“Every sign is subject to the criteria of ideological evaluation.... The domain of ideology coincides with the domain of signs. They equate with one another. Wherever a sign is present, ideology is present, too. Everything ideological possesses semiotic value.”
