The track lines are not a forecast product, as such, the lines should not be interpreted as representing a specific forecast for the location of a tropical cyclone in between official forecast points. It is also important to remember that tropical cyclone track forecasts are subject to error, and that the effects of a tropical cyclone can span many hundreds of miles from the center. <a href='https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gis/metadata_ex_lines_at.xml' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>Click here for more information<\/a>.<\/li><li><span style='font-style:italic;'><span style='font-weight:bold;'>The Cone of Uncertainty:<\/span><\/span> Cyclone paths are hard to predict with absolute certainty, especially days in advance.\n\nThe cone represents the probable track of the center of a tropical cyclone and is formed by enclosing the area swept out by a set of circles along the forecast track (at 12, 24, 36 hours, etc). The size of each circle is scaled so that two-thirds of the historical official forecast errors over a 5-year sample fall within the circle. Based on forecasts over the previous 5 years, the entire track of a tropical cyclone can be expected to remain within the cone roughly 60-70% of the time. It is important to note that the area affected by a tropical cyclone can extend well beyond the confines of the cone enclosing the most likely track area of the center. <a href='https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gis/metadata_ex_cone_at.xml' rel='nofollow ugc' target='_blank'>Click here for more information<\/a>.<\/li><li><span style='font-style:italic;'><span style='font-weight:bold;'>Coastal Watch/Warning:<\/span><\/span> Coastal areas are placed under watches and warnings depending on the proximity and intensity of the approaching storm.<\/li><ul><li><span style='font-style:italic;'>Tropical Storm Watch<\/span> is issued when a tropical cyclone containing winds of 34 to 63 knots (39 to 73 mph) or higher poses a possible threat, generally within 48 hours.
