An AIRMET is issued to supplement what type of weather report?

Explanation:
AIRMETs are weather advisories for the en route flight level that highlight significant but not severe hazards and are issued to supplement Area Forecasts. The Area Forecast describes expected weather over a broad region to help planning across flight routes, while AIRMETs provide additional detail about conditions within that area that could affect smaller aircraft or IFR/catastrophic conditions—things like moderate icing, moderate turbulence, or low ceilings/visibility. They’re issued every six hours and updated as needed, filling in the information between individual METARs/TAFs and the more severe SIGMETs.
