NOAA says the cone of uncertainty, which shows a storm’s predicted path, will now highlight hurricane watches and warnings on land.
NOAA said the change is being made to emphasize broader wind risks.
The National Hurricane Center also has a new map for possible storm surge flooding.
As of Tuesday, there is only 55 days until the start of the 2026 Atlantic Hurricane Season on June 1.
