The Hurricane Chaser

New graphics for the upcoming 2025 season

Hurricanes and tropical storms produce destructive windspeeds creating damage far beyond the coasts of the United States. This makes NWS National Hurricane Center’s recent work even more vital to public safety, the national economy, and our critical infrastructure. Armed with lessons learned from last year’s active hurricane season, NHC will be testing a new product for its weather advisories, a cone graphic showing wind warnings for the inland United States, not just the coastline!

This new element of NHC’s expert decision-support services will maximize its contributions to communities across the nation by making it clearer to see where storms and wind could hit hardest and how much those cascading impacts can spillover. Learn more about the new cone graphic here: https://nhc.noaa.gov/pdf/NHC_New_Products_Updates_2025.pdf!

Tropical Depression 19 formed yesterday in the Caribbean and is expected to bring heavy rain across portions of Central America, particularly Honduras, Belize, El Salvador, eastern Guatemala, and western Nicaragua. It is to early to what effects the system would have on the gulf coast states if anything. We will have a better idea by Sunday if there are going to be any impacts. Now is a good time go over your supplies and make sure they are stocked up.
