Hurricane Forecast Map
This map shows Atlantic tropical systems (the strongest
of which are hurricanes.) It shows the current forecast track of each
storm. To achieve the status of a Tropical Storm, maximum SUSTAINED winds
must reach at least 39 mph. To reach Hurricane status the maximum SUSTAINED
wind must be at least 74 mph. The highest winds are found near the center
of the storm.
Only
the CENTER (eye) of the storm is marked with a predicted path. Actual
stormy weather may extend outward from the center by several hundred miles
depending on the physical size of the storm.
