You will receive 1 point for including the correct images described by the instructions (which you saved above).
2.
(1 point) Comparing the approximate point of landfall from the forecast cone you saved in Step 4 above (the storm's center is marked by the "X"), was the location of the storm's landfall actually within the forecast cone that initially included
the mainland United States (the image you saved in Step 3 above)?
Yes, the location of the storms landfall is actually within the forecast cone that initially included the mainland United States. 3.
(1 point) What was the storm's maximum sustained wind speed and Saffir-Simpson Scale rating (if it was a hurricane) just before landfall (from the image you saved in Step 4 above)?
Maximum sustained winds at 65 mph just before landfall. 4.
(1 point) Using the black dots that mark forecast positions of the center of your storm in the image you saved in Step 3 above, what was the predicted intensity classification near landfall (based on the designation in the black dot closest to the coast but still offshore)? For reference, "D" = Tropical Depression, "S" = Tropical Storm, "H" = Hurricane, "M" = Major Hurricane. Was this predicted intensity classification correct, based on the answer to question 3?
There was no tropical storm that hit within the predicted range, however winds were predicted at 39-
73mph.
5.
(1 point) Near the time of landfall, were tropical-storm and / or hurricane wind conditions contained only within the area of the cone, or did they extend outside the cone? Is the forecast cone based on the size of the storm, or the predicted location of just the storm's center?
Near the time of the landfall there some hurricane wind conditions contained outside of the cone. The forecast cone is based on the size of the storm.
