The features of these tables are listed below:
The first table includes in force, issuance and cancellation probabilities for the next 72 hours binned at 6-hour intervals:
The first row indicates the number of hours elapsed since the time of observation for the current report; the day of week and clock hour (in HKT, 24-hour format) are provided for easier reference.
The next rows are signal-specific: The full table has probabilities for five signal categories: "Signal 1 or above", "Signal 3 or above", "Signal 8 or above", "Signal 9 or above" and "Signal 10". Probabilities for a given category are only displayed if they are not all zero.
There are two rows of numbers for each signal category; the first row gives the probabilities that the signal category is in force at the time indicated by the column header, and is meant to be interpreted for a particular point in time only (NOT a period of time). What the second row displays depends on whether the signal category is currently in force; if it is not in force, it displays the probabilities that the relevant signal category will be issued for the first time in the 6-hour interval ending at the time indicated by the column header. For example, the number corresponding to the column "+36" indicates the probability that the signal category will not be issued in the next 30 hours, counting from the time of observation, but will be issued between 30 and 36 hours. If the signal category concerned is in force, the second row displays the probabilities of cancellation instead. A similar interpretation applies.
Different colour schemes are employed for the "in force", "issuance" and "cancellation" rows to avoid confusion.
The second table is almost exactly the same as the first table, but has probabilities at 2-hour intervals for "Signal 9 or above" and "Signal 10" categories. This table is only provided if there is at least one cell within the next 36 hours whose "in force" probability is above 10%.
The third table includes only the issuance and cancellation probabilities for the first 72 hours of the forecast, or fewer if the forecast track is shorter. It gives the probabilities that a particular signal (or above) is issued or cancelled any time after the time of observation and before the end of forecast or 72 hours, whichever is shorter. The number of times the signal is issued or cancelled does not matter here. When the signal (or above) is not currently issued, the "issued" row is relevant; otherwise the "cancelled" row is relevant instead. Mathematically, this number is the sum of the "issued" or "cancelled" row for the relevant signal in the first table.
Note that all numbers are rounded to the nearest integer, and so anything less than 0.5% is rounded to 0%, while anything above 99.5% is rounded to 100%.
