Name: Cone of Uncertainty: What It Actually Means
Channel: The Weather Channel
Description: The cone of uncertainty maps are some of the most common images that we show from June to November, but do you know what the forecast means? The forecast only contains information about a storm’s future path based on historical errors, and does not tell you anything about storm surge, rainfall or winds. These impacts are often well outside the cone.
