Atlantic Hurricane Season –
What is the “Cone of Uncertainty”?
Important points about the hurricane cone
🌀 The cone represents the probable track of the center of the tropical cyclone.
🌀 The size of the cone is drawn so that about two-thirds of the time, the centre of the storm will remain in the cone.
🌀 The cone does not take the size of the storm into account.
🌀 A hurricane is not a point; impacts often occur well outside of the core.
🌀 The cone indicates the forecast up to five days out from the last recorded position of the storm.
The cone also does not indicate other information, such as potential storm surge or rainfall. Some impacts from tropical storms and hurricanes can be experienced hundreds of miles from the centre of the storm.
