What services does the NHC or National Hurricane Center provide?
The National Hurricane Center is a division of the Tropical Prediction Center in the United States National Weather Service. They handle all tropical activity for the eastern North Pacific and North Atlantic ocean basins and issue all watches and warnings regardless of potential impact on United States land. They are located on the campus of Florida International University in Miami, Florida. During hurricane season (June 1 - November 30), they issue tropical outlooks every 6 hours available on their website (see related link). When a tropical depression forms, they offer a number of different products for tracking and prediction of the storm, including discussion and model forecasts. The current deputy director is Edward Rapapport.
Why is it safe in the eye of a hurricane?
The eye of a hurricane is a region of calm weather and low pressure at the center of the storm. The violent winds and heavy rain are concentrated in the eyewall surrounding the eye, so being in the eye itself can provide a temporary respite from the severe weather conditions. However, it is important to note that the eye is a relatively small area and conditions can deteriorate rapidly as the storm moves on.
Why do you think meteorologist are sometimes wrong about what the weather will be like?
Meteorologists are not always wrong.
What is important about the eye of the hurricane?
The eye of a hurricane is a relatively calm and clear area at the center of the storm, surrounded by powerful winds and intense thunderstorms known as the eyewall. The eye allows for brief periods of respite during a hurricane's passage, but it is important for people to remain cautious as the dangerous eyewall winds will return once the eye passes.
Why is the ozone hole only there for a short time?
