Episode Details

This hurricane season, the National Hurricane Center is revamping its iconic cone of uncertainty to better warn inland communities. The new cone now includes all land-based tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings for the U.S., Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands — helping people outside the storm’s path understand the real risks of flooding, tornadoes, and storm surge. After a successful test last year, the updated cone features solid shading for five days and a new symbol for overlapping alerts. NOAA is also trialing an ellipse-based cone design to more accurately reflect storm movement uncertainty. The goal? Empower everyone to prepare earlier and smarter — because even the best forecasts aren’t perfect, so always stay informed and know your local evacuation plan.
