What condition or hazard should NOT be expected according to the weather forecast?

The reason why hail should not be expected according to the weather forecast is that hail formation typically occurs in very specific conditions, usually associated with severe thunderstorms where there are strong updrafts and significant moisture present. If the forecast does not indicate the likelihood of such conditions—like severe thunderstorms or convective activity—then the probability of hail is significantly reduced.

In contrast, the other options are more commonly associated with typical weather patterns that can be expected under various conditions. For example, sea spray from breaking waves can occur in windy conditions or rough seas, and strong winds can be a regular feature in certain weather systems, particularly those approaching a front or low-pressure area. Risk of ice formation is a consideration in colder climates or during certain seasons, which can be indicated by temperature forecasts that drop near or below freezing. Therefore, while the other conditions are possible based on a broader range of weather scenarios, hail specifically requires more acute circumstances that may not be present in the forecast.
