XM WX Weather Features

Hurricanes

The Hurricanes feature shows the current position of a hurricane, tropical storm, or tropical depression, as well as its projected path (indicated by a red line). The darkened squares that appear along the red line indicate the projected locations received from the National Hurricane Center. The Center provides four forecasts at 12-hour intervals and a fifth forecast at a 24-hour interval. Each forecast indicates the projected location of the hurricane at different points along its projected path. Forecasted hurricane conditions at each projected location are also provided.

In this example, this hurricane is projected to travel west-southwest before moving in a northwesterly direction.

This example shows the projected path of Hurricane Charley through Florida in August, 2004. Wind and storm cells are also visible.

In this example of Hurricane Charley in August, 2004, NEXRAD data, wave height, and wind are shown.
