Hurricanes: Forecasting

Today's focus for National Hurricane Preparedness Week is the forecast process.  It is especially important to learn the difference between a Hurricane Watch and a Hurricane Warning.  

Hurricane Watch: there is a possibility that an area could experience hurricane conditionas within 36 hours.

Hurricane Warning: sustained winds of at least 74 mph are expected in an area within 24 hours.

Remember: Hurricane season lasts from June 1st to November 30th. Be safe.
