Forecast cone of uncertainty

(The red shaded area shows the potential track of the center of the tropical cyclone. It is important to note that for any tropical cyclone, impacts (particularly heavy rain, high surf, coastal flooding, winds) typically extend beyond the forecast track spread.)

Spaghetti models

Model tracks

(The lines in this graphic represent several of the many route predictions from various computer models. This is not an official prediction, but they are used as a guide in creating the projected path.)

Predicted Threats

Precipitation forecast

PicturePicture
(This should be interpreted as a general outlook of where the heaviest rain could fall and shift based on the tropical cyclone's forecast path. Higher amounts may occur if rain bands stall over a period of a few hours.)

Arrival and probability of arrival of tropical storm force winds

Environmental conditions

Ocean heat content

PicturePicture
(This map shows not only areas of warm water, but also warm, deep water, which is an ingredient for developing and active tropical cyclones.)

Wind shear

PicturePicture
(Areas of clouds are shown in white. Areas of strong wind shear, which is the difference in wind speed and direction with height, are shown in purple. Strong wind shear is hostile to mature tropical cyclones and those attempting to develop.)
