HURRICANE TRACKING CHART

Hurricane eye positions are given by latitude (for example, 13.6 degrees North) and longitude (for example, 102.3 degrees West), to the nearest one-tenth of one degree. When you receive an advisory, mark the eye position and the time on the tracking chart. Since this position does not indicate the true possible impact of the hurricane, center a dime on your mark and draw a circle around it. This shows you the area than can be affected by a hurricane that is approximately 150 miles in diameter. The circumference of a quarter can be used to indicate a storm approximately 200 miles in diameter. Because hurricanes change direction very quickly, you should concentrate more on where the storm could go than on where it has been.
