Forecast literacy

Cone vs Impact: Read the Map Correctly

The forecast cone shows where the storm center may go. Wind, storm surge, and rain can reach well beyond it. Use the cone for awareness, then follow your official watch and warning — not the cone edge.

Hurricane forecast cone compared with the actual impact areaA cone of uncertainty extends from a hurricane at sea toward the coast. The impact area for wind, surge, and rain is wider than the cone and reaches a city outside it.Hurricane(center path)City Ainside the coneCity Boutside cone, still at riskCity Clower riskForecast cone (~2/3 of centers)Wind / surge / rain impact
Stylized example: City B is outside the cone yet inside the impact area. Watches and warnings are based on expected impacts, not the cone edge.

1 · The cone is only about the center

About two-thirds of forecast track centers stay inside the cone. The other third land outside it. A storm's size, wind field, surge, and rain are not drawn inside the cone at all.

2 · Impacts reach beyond the cone

Tropical-storm-force winds, storm surge, and heavy rain routinely affect areas far outside the cone. Being outside the cone is not the same as being safe.

3 · Follow watches and warnings

The NHC impact map and NWS watches/warnings are based on expected impacts. Check your local warning, not just where the center line points.

Hurricane FAQ

What is HurricaneHub's direct answer for people in the risk zone?

Check your official local warning first, compare it with the current NHC storm position, then decide whether your home, route, or medical needs require earlier action than the county deadline.

How often should hurricane data refresh?

NHC advisories usually update on a cycle set by the storm situation, while NWS alerts can change at any time. HurricaneHub caches public feeds for short windows to reduce latency without hiding official updates.

Is this a replacement for emergency management orders?

No. HurricaneHub summarizes official data for decision support, but evacuation orders, shelter rules, road closures, and rescue instructions come from local emergency management and the National Weather Service.
