🌀Have you noticed the National Hurricane Center is testing a new track cone this season?

The new experimental graphic draws the cone using ovals (instead of circles) that separate forward speed from left-or-right track errors and cover 90% of possible track outcomes (up from the traditional 67%). Look for "EXPERIMENTAL" in red at the bottom left of the map.

What do you think of the new design? Share your feedback: https://t.co/2RPuEHvdgP
