Warnings the route crosses SIGMETs and AIRMETs whose area the line passes through or comes within 25 nm of

• AIRMET TANGO 1W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 39,000 ft. Over the first 140 nm of the route.
• AIRMET ZULU 2C: moderate icing up to 23,000 ft. Over the route from 199 to 668 nm out.
• AIRMET SIERRA 1E: mountains obscured by cloud (due to mountains obscured by clouds, precipitation, mist). Over the route from 259 to 668 nm out.
• AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence below 18,000 ft up to 18,000 ft. Over the route from 399 to 827 nm out.
• AIRMET TANGO 4W: moderate turbulence above 18,000 ft from 18,000 ft to 42,000 ft. Over the route from 568 to 837 nm out.
• AIRMET TANGO 1W: low-level wind shear (due to air speed loss or gain of 20 knots or more below 2,000 ft above the ground). Over the route from 658 to 847 nm out.
• AIRMET TANGO 5W: strong surface winds (30 knots or more) (due to sustained surface winds greater than 30 knots). Over the route from 668 to 718 nm out.
• AIRMET SIERRA 4E: low cloud or poor visibility (IFR conditions) (due to ceilings below 1,000 ft, visibility below 3 miles, precipitation, mist). Over the route from 837 to 1067 nm out.

A SIGMET warns of weather hazardous to all aircraft; an AIRMET of weather that matters to small aircraft and to flying without instruments. "From 60 to 180 nm out" is measured along the route from SMF.
