Hello all, bring a lifetime California resident hurricanes are not something I’m experienced with or paid much attention to, relatively speaking.

That being said, my wife and I have a trip booked to Punta Cana in mid-October. WhTs my best resource leading up to that to check on storms that may be brewing? Thanks!

Agree. And also suggest this variant. This is a relatively new tool.

I like this map, as you can change the day and time to get a very good idea if where things are headed.

I have found it to be very accurate for the past several years as hurricanes blasted out ass here in SC.

I use www.myfoxhurricane.com

'keeping an eye on hurricanes'

*grooooooooan*

Load the Accuweather app, it provides hurricane information based on geographic location.

I'm a fan of Jay's page o' hurricane & tropical storm imagery

The commentary provided by Mike Sudduth at HurricaneTrack.com is typically spot on.

Best is the Palm Tree Test,

Palm tree not moving - No Hurricane
Palm Tree leaning slightly right or left - Cat1
Palm Tree Leaning at 1 or 11 - Cat 2
Palm Tree Leaning at 2 or 10 - Cat 3
Palm Tree Leaning 45 degrees - Cat 4
Palm Tree Gone - Cat 5

Thanks all! Hoping for a great vacation!

Mikes weather page at https://spaghettimodels.com

His page is the best I have found. You can find the hurricane center outlook, the spaghetti models with projected paths, model intensity guidance, etc.

I can assure you that EVERY weather man and forecaster, goes to Mikes weather page several times a day.

Since I live in Florida, I check the page every day or every other day in the summer to see what's popping up.
