National Hurricane Center Unveils Updated Forecast Cone Graphic

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 aims to improve public understanding of storm risks by including inland tropical storm and hurricane watches and warnings for the continental United States, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The previous version, known as the 'cone of uncertainty,' was often misunderstood as indicating the storm's size or absolute path. The updated graphic, developed after two years of experimental use, will feature bright colors to better convey wind risks and hazards extending beyond the cone. The changes are part of ongoing efforts to enhance communication about storm impacts and risks.
