Plotting the storm, or getting the latest watches and warnings? Well, you can access the latest information from the National Hurricane Center. The NHC provides updated storm advisories, discussions, and overall outlooks several times a day, and even more when a hurricane or tropical storm threatens land. They contain the essential coordinates, location, sustained winds, forward motion, and central pressure of the storm as well as the latest watches and warnings.

Satellite imagery of hurricanes and tropical storms can be among the most majestic pictures of weather phenomena you will ever see. Who can forget the satellite images of Hurricane Elena in the Gulf of Mexico in 1985 from the Space Shuttle, or the images of Hurricanes Hugo and Andrew rolling into the South Carolina and Florida coasts respectively. These images give forecasters a look at what is out there in the Tropical Atlantic that could impact the coast down the road. Satellite imagery is probably the most significant tool to assist forecasters since before it came along forecasters had no idea that a storm could be out there other than from ship reports, and local observations. These images are provided by NOAA, and the National Hurricane Center.

Below are links to radar sites throughout the Atlantic Basin from the Caribbean to the Gulf of Mexico, and up the Atlantic Seaboard. These images are very critical to forecasters trying to pinpoint the eye, or the center of the storm as it nears land. These images are provided by various sources including the National Weather Service, Weather Channel, Conagua, Environment Canada
