Suggest avoid using the term "hurricone".<br>
I'm helping in a hospital with evacuees from Brevard County. They
think it's a joke making their situation sound like a dessert. <br>
Not reacting to it well.<br>

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

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>
