NHC Track & Forecast Cone

NHC Storm Track, Cone & Tropical Outlook

Follow every active tropical system with the National Hurricane Center's official forecast cone and track overlaid directly on live radar. Click any storm for its current classification — Tropical Storm, Hurricane, or Major Hurricane — straight from NHC advisories.

The Tropical Weather Outlook layer adds basin-wide context: NHC's 7-day development potential for the Atlantic and Gulf, so you can see what's brewing before it gets a name.

  • NHC forecast cone & track, updated every advisory
  • Storm classification (TS / Hurricane / Major Hurricane)
  • Tropical Weather Outlook — 7-day development potential
  • Atlantic and Gulf basin coverage

Ensemble Guidance

Spaghetti Models — Every Ensemble Track at a Glance

No single model gets a storm's path exactly right. BayouRadar's spaghetti model layer plots the full ensemble of track forecasts together, so you can see the spread and where the models agree — the same guidance meteorologists reference when a storm's future path is still uncertain.

  • Full ensemble spaghetti plot layer
  • See model spread and agreement at a glance
  • Updated as new model runs come in

Recon Aircraft

Hurricane Hunters — Live Recon Aircraft Tracking

Watch NOAA and Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft fly real reconnaissance missions into active storms. Click a plane for its agency, aircraft type, altitude, ground speed, and which storm it's investigating — the same recon flights that feed the data behind official NHC advisories.

  • Live Hurricane Hunter aircraft positions
  • Agency, aircraft type, altitude & ground speed on click
  • Tied to the storm each mission is flying

Track the next system before it makes landfall

Free live radar, NHC storm tracks, and hurricane hunter flights — all in one map, all in real time.
