Uncertainty bears an inherent relationship to weather forecasting. Even with advances in technology and mathematical modeling improving weather forecasts, communicating risks to the public is still challenging. This systematic review investigates design attributes that influence the expression of uncertainty visualization in weather forecasts. A total of 14 publications met the inclusion criteria. This review revealed six categories of design features that can inform how viewers interpret the uncertainty conveyed in weather forecast displays. These design features also provide us with an initial basis for developing guidelines. We discuss how the features might be used and the importance of doing so.
