An example of a chart for Hurricane Matthew showing its five-day forecast track A black and white track chart for Hurricane Floyd (1999) using a conic projection. Lines or dots connecting symbols can be varying colors, solid, dashed, or symbols between the points depending on the intensity and type of the system being tracked. [26]
The 2024 hurricane season is forecast to be one of the most active on record with most predictions calling for more than 20 named storms. To help our communities get prepared, the Palm Beach Post ...
The HWRF computer model is the operational backbone for hurricane track and intensity forecasts by the National Hurricane Center (NHC). [2] The model will use data from satellite observations, buoys, and reconnaissance aircraft, making it able to access more meteorological data than any other hurricane model before it. [2]
The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest performing models to help make its forecasts. If path tracker and spaghetti model are not displaying on your screen, you can view them here.
The first dynamical hurricane track forecast model, the Sanders Barotropic Tropical Cyclone Track Prediction Model (SANBAR), [9] was introduced in 1970 and was used by the National Hurricane Center as part of its operational track guidance through 1989. It was based on a simplified set of atmospheric dynamical equations (the equivalent ...

Accurate track predictions depend on determining the position and strength of high- and low-pressure areas, and predicting how those areas will migrate during the life of a tropical system. Computer forecast models are used to help determine this motion as far out as five to seven days in the future.
The official forecast now calls for the storm to dissipate by Tuesday. But if Sara survives to strike the Florida coast, it would be the state's fourth landfalling hurricane this year, behind ...
