Warnings on cone graphics: The cone of uncertainty graphics from the National Hurricane Center will continue to emphasize that threats extend well beyond their own cone by overlaying wind alerts on them. This has been a practice used on some of our graphics at weather.com for several years.

The list of storm names is created by the World Meteorological Organization well in advance of the hurricane season.

The size of the tropical cyclone forecast error cone for 2025 will be about 3-5% smaller for systems in the Atlantic basin and 5-10% smaller for systems in the eastern Pacific.
