Tropical storm awareness
Keep tropical storm context close to radar and alerts.
Weather Direct presents available tropical tracks, advisory information, forecast points, and cone overlays in a focused weather workspace.
Tropical information is awareness context, not a substitute for official emergency instructions, evacuation guidance, or local authority updates.
Read the track in context.
Review available storm position, advisory timing, forecast points, and cone information, then compare radar and alerts when those layers are available.
Use the cone as an uncertainty area, not an exact storm-size boundary.
Keep active public alert guidance close to the map.
Avoid sensational presentation.
Weather Direct keeps tropical information calm and direct so the data remains easier to interpret during an already stressful situation.
Follow authorities for safety decisions.
Always use official emergency management, weather service, and local authority guidance for evacuation and protective action.
