The Weather Features

Hurricanes

The Hurricanes feature shows the current position of a hurricane as well as its projected path (indicated by a red line). The darkened squares that appear (as in the examples in the left-hand column below) along the red line display the projected locations received from the National Hurricane Center. The Center provides four forecasts at 12-hour intervals as well as a fifth forecast at a 24-hour interval.

In this example, this hurricane is projected to travel West- Southwest before moving in a Northwesterly direction.

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

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