Hurricane tracking and forecasting techniques

Hurricane tracking and forecasting use satellites, computer models, and weather stations to monitor storm development and movement. Satellites provide real-time images, helping meteorologists see the storm’s size, structure, and path. Computer models simulate future storm behavior based on current data, predicting the storm’s track, intensity, and potential landfall. This information is combined with historical patterns and atmospheric conditions to produce forecasts. Continuous data collection and advanced modeling enable authorities to warn communities in advance, helping people prepare and stay safe.
