track forecasts

Track forecasts refer to predictions of a tropical storm or hurricane’s path over time. They use computer models that consider current weather data to estimate where the storm is headed, typically shown as a projected route on a map. These forecasts help communities prepare by indicating potential landfall locations and timing. While they provide valuable guidance, there is some uncertainty, so the forecasted track may shift as new data becomes available. Overall, track forecasts are essential tools for planning and emergency response during storm threats.
