| Above the hurricane tracking chart, Jim Williams will give updates on the latest situation and updates on website changes.When things are slow this may be udated every couple of days or weekly during the offseason. When things are active this is updated as many as four times per day. On the tracking chart the"o"s are clickable observations with links to local radars and obs.The ships are observations within several hundred miles of each ship on the map. This chart is great to use even during the offseason to get the latest weather observations and radars,one click away!

| The names for the current season are shown below the Hurricane Tracking Chart. The yellow highlighted names have already been used,so the next name would be the name of the next storm that forms.The advisory window below where it says "TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK" will always be updated to include the latest advisory on the current storm. If more than one storm is in the Atlantic,the storm of most importance will be in the top advisory window. When there are no named storms,the tropical outlook will be in the window.During the offseason there are no outlooks & we will leave the tropical discussion in the window. The "120HRS" Text will highlight where the storm should be in five days based on the national hurricane center forecast.
