Hi, Jeff —
<div>Thanks for the suggestions. Yesterday had made an ajustment to draw the advisories after drawing the 10m winds, but that meant that the map outline was underneath both of those things and was therefore rather hard to see. I have updated today’s 12Z HurriCone
maps with a darker/thicker line for the map which is now drawn on top of the winds and the advisories, but underneath the storm tracks, which are also a tiny bit thicker. I upticked the thickness of the advisory lines too, especially for the pink line (+4)
for the hurricane watch areas which is harder to see next to the bright red. I don’t want any one element to dominate — all things in the graphic are equally important. The advisories right now do look a little like a game of pick-up-sticks, but that’s how
the NHC draws them; I can’t make them match the actual coastline.</div>

The geopolitical boundaries are pretty faint, which makes the advisories/warnings look like strange line segments in the middle of nowhere. I'd darken them and make the advisories thicker as well.<br>

<div style="word-wrap:break-word">Hi, Everyone —
<div>I have been working on a new graphic for ensemble forecasts of storm tracks because I find that the traditional ‘cone of uncertainty’ does not have enough of the information I want to see when a major storm is in the forecast. The HurriCone is based on
the 0.5-degree GEFS data and the GIS products from the NHC. Attached below is the latest version; earlier incarnations are at
<a href="http://cola.gmu.edu/cone.html" target="_blank">http://cola.gmu.edu/cone.html</a>. The web page and the scripts are still in development. I plan to post the scripts I am using to create the graphic on the web page when they are in a final, more polished
state so that anyone can draw a HurriCone if they want to. Feedback is welcome! </div>
