How does the Estimate of 48 through 120 hour 34, 50 and 64 knot wind fields work?
Since the National Hurricane Center does not provide the forecast wind field information for the areas of 64 knot winds and in the 96 and 120 hour outlook… the 34, 50 knot wind areas…., we allow the user to turn on the option which will force the system to estimate these wind fields. A series of algorithms are utilized to come up with a best guess of what these wind fields will be. Please remember these are only estimates based on storm trend and climatology.
