The information above is based on data from the Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) realtime database and is different from National Hurricane Center (NHC) advisory data. This database may contain errors. Please consult the NHC for the latest official information, as this information, in addition to containing errors, is only updated every 6 hours by the NHC. Please note, that the location given is not given by the ATCF database. It is a calculation that we perform. You can find out more about it here. In addition, converted units in parenthesis are also calculations that we perform and do not come from the ATCF database.
Plots from Tropical Atlantic
Information valid as of: Friday, September 3, 2010 6:00 Z (Zulu | GMT | UTC)
If you have the free program Google Earth, you can now view National Hurricane Center (NHC) model data using the plots our site generates. You can view either the full model plots or the "spaghetti" model plots. If you don't have Google Earth, you can also view these plots using Google Maps.

The models available on our site and those that we link you to are for educational purposes only. Meteorologists use these models along with many other tools in order to produce their forecasts. You can't simply look at these models alone and determine where a storm will go. Certain models are more applicable than others, but which ones are more applicable can only be determined by those who know how to use this data. One model is never always right. It is up to weather professionals to look at these models and see which ones are more applicable at the moment and use that knowledge along with the many other resources they have to come up with the best possible forecast. These models are provided for those who are interested in learning more about the tools that weather professionals use. They are not provided for any other reason.
DO NOT RELY ON ANY UNOFFICIAL SOURCES IN LIFE OR DEATH DECISIONS.
By using these models, you agree that this site and the creators of the model data that we feature from other sites, are in no way responsible for the decisions you make based on these models. If you do not agree to this, you cannot use these models.

Colorado State's Model Data
The Colorado State model site has a lot of models on 4 images that come out every 6 hours. More about this site.

Our site automatically determines the best satellite views. Unfortunately, our site cannot determine where a particular floater is currently centered. Therefore, we do not include floater images here. You can find some of those here at NOAA.
A multitude of satellite images, wind analysis, and intensity products specific to this system can be found here at Colorado State and NOAA's Real-Time Tropical Cyclone Product page.
For another zoomed up view, you can use the page we have created for NASA's imagery:
NASA's Global Hydrology and Climate Center Satellite
The satellite view will be centered on the coordinates for this storm. You can further zoom the satellite and choose a variety of other options once on the page.
For even more data, you can use the Weather Underground's new mapping feature: Weather Underground's WunderMap
It's an interactive map that allows you to view weather station data, satellite imagery, and radar imagery (for USA only, including Puerto Rico).

Some or all of the following images may not be available or may be outdated. They come from the Navy's Tropical Cyclone Page. (NRL Monterey) Visit their site if the images below are unavailable, if you want additional imagery, or if you want to view loops. Look in the left column of their page under the header "Atlantic" for a link to updated or related imagery.

Radar Imagery:
For storms near land, visit our radar page by clicking here. For a storm centered radar image near the United States (including Puerto Rico), you can also click here to use the Weather Underground's WunderMap feature.
To see buoy and ship data for areas around this storm, click here. That page will show you all the data from the past 3 hours within a 300 nautical mile radius of the storm.
Also check here for other marine observations.
The following information also comes from the same Automated Tropical Cyclone Forecast (ATCF) realtime database file that the information at the top of the page comes from. The following data is more advanced and is therefore placed at the bottom of this page. The following may also contain errors. The file that this information comes from can be found here. Information about that file can be found here. (or here) Not all of the information found in that file is reproduced here.
