Days are Sweden's own calendar days. "Tomorrow" lists every warning still valid after midnight local time, so a warning that runs overnight is in both lists. "Valid" is the warning's own end time. Start times are not stored by this site yet, so a warning Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute (SMHI) issued ahead of time for tomorrow also appears under today; the service's own page has its start time.
