National Hurricane Center Unveils New Forecast Cone Graphic for 2026

National Hurricane Center Unveils New Forecast Cone Graphic for 2026

The National Hurricane Center is introducing a revamped track forecast cone graphic for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, starting June 1, 2026. This new graphic aims to enhance communication about storm risks and probabilities, addressing previous misunderstandings associated with the 'cone of uncertainty' used since 2002. The updated version includes inland tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, shaded with bright colors to better convey wind risks. The graphic will also be interactive, allowing users to zoom, pan, and save images. The changes are part of a continuous improvement process to ensure the public and emergency managers receive accurate and comprehensive information about potential storm impacts.

Former Air Force Master Sergeant Pleads Guilty to $37 Million Fraud Scheme

Former Air Force Master Sergeant Pleads Guilty to $37 Million Fraud Scheme

Alan Hayward James, a former U.S. Air Force master sergeant, has pleaded guilty to defrauding the military out of $37 million. James, who referred to himself as 'Al Capone,' orchestrated a nine-year scheme starting in April 2016, involving the manipulation of IT contract bids for the U.S. Pacific Air Forces based in Hawaii. He conspired with various companies to rig bids, inflating contract values and funneling excess funds to himself, his family, and co-conspirators. The scheme included directing companies to submit intentionally low or high bids to ensure certain companies won contracts at inflated rates. The Justice Department revealed that James used shell companies and false salaries to distribute the illicit funds, even paying for luxury resort stays for his co-conspirators. James has agreed to pay restitution of at least $1.45 million and faces up to 45 years in prison.

National Hurricane Center Unveils New Forecast Cone for 2026 Season

National Hurricane Center Unveils New Forecast Cone for 2026 Season

The National Hurricane Center is introducing a revamped track forecast cone graphic for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, starting June 1, 2026. This new graphic, which has undergone a two-year experimental phase, aims to enhance communication about storm risks and hazards. The previous version, known as the 'cone of uncertainty,' was often misunderstood as it only depicted the likely path of the storm's center, without illustrating the full range of impacts such as high winds and rain. The updated graphic will now include inland tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, using bright colors to better convey wind risks and the extent of hazards beyond the cone. According to USA Today, the changes are part of a continuous improvement process to ensure better public understanding and preparedness.

Kilauea Volcano Prepares for 44th Eruption, Posing Risks to Health and Attracting Tourists

Kilauea Volcano Prepares for 44th Eruption, Posing Risks to Health and Attracting Tourists

Hawaii's Kilauea volcano, one of the most active in the world, is on the verge of its 44th eruption, as forecasted by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The eruption is expected to occur between April 6 and April 14, with precursory activity already observed. Kilauea has been erupting episodically since December 23, 2024, and its eruptions are known for their spectacular lava fountains, which can shoot over 1,000 feet into the air. These natural displays draw numerous tourists to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. However, the eruptions also release hazardous gases and ash, posing significant health risks, particularly to individuals with heart or respiratory issues, infants, children, and pregnant women. The USGS is providing continuous updates through live webcams, allowing people to witness the event remotely.

National Hurricane Center Updates Forecast Cone for 2026 Season

National Hurricane Center Updates Forecast Cone for 2026 Season

The National Hurricane Center is introducing a revised track forecast cone graphic for the upcoming Atlantic hurricane season, starting June 1, 2026. This new graphic, which has undergone a two-year experimental phase, aims to improve public understanding of storm risks. The updated cone will feature ellipses instead of concentric circles, reflecting a 90% probability that the storm's center will remain within the cone. This change is intended to enhance forecast accuracy and confidence. Additionally, the graphic will include inland tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, highlighted with bright colors to better convey wind risks and hazards extending beyond the cone. The goal is to provide a more comprehensive picture of potential impacts, encouraging the public to consider the broader risks associated with hurricanes.

Third Kona Storm Brings Flood Risk to Hawaii

Third Kona Storm Brings Flood Risk to Hawaii

A third powerful Kona storm in just three weeks is set to drench Hawaii, raising concerns over flooding and mudslides. The storm will pull in deep tropical moisture, bringing heavy rain—even to typically dry areas. With ground already saturated from recent storms, runoff could quickly overwhelm streams and reservoirs, increasing the risk of flash flooding and infrastructure damage. While the rain may help ease ongoing drought conditions, it also poses renewed danger to communities still recovering from earlier storms.
