The Essential Tools for Tracking Tropical Storms

When it comes to monitoring developing tropical storms and hurricanes, there are three essential tools you should use:

Core Tracking Tools

  • Forecast Cone (NHC): The National Hurricane Center’s cone graphic shows the storm’s probable path and potential error range. Remember: impacts can occur outside the cone.
  • Satellite Imagery: Provides real-time views of cloud structure and organization, helping identify areas of heavy rain and potential intensification.
  • Radar: Offers detailed precipitation intensity data and helps pinpoint a storm’s center, especially crucial as it approaches land.

Specialized Analysis Tools

  • Wind Speed Probabilities: Shows likelihood of tropical storm/hurricane-force winds at specific locations.
  • Storm Surge Maps: Critical for coastal residents, displaying flood risk areas from ocean inundation.
  • Spaghetti Models: Visualize forecast uncertainty through multiple model tracks.
