Scranton Hurricane Tracking Map
Loading live hurricane map: stay informed on current storms!
Tropical storms are areas of extremely low pressure on the earth’s surface. A tropical storm with a wind speed greater than 73 mph belongs to the category of hurricanes. Strong hurricanes of category 2 and higher can cause natural disasters and damage. Therefore, it is crucial to recognize them beforehand and keep the situation under control. A live map of these natural phenomena would help to detect hurricane evacuation zones, warn about a disaster such as flooding, and contribute to public safety.
Our hurricane radar page allows you to track the movement of hurricanes and tropical storms on the map. To find out where the actual storm is currently moving, click the icon in the upper-right corner of the map. You will see chains of colorful dots forming the past, current, and predicted path of a hurricane, cyclone, or tropical storm. The movement area forecast predicts a zone where a cyclone can go with the most probable path in the center of the zone.
Different types of tropical storms are marked with different colors on the map:
- Tropical Depression (<38 mph)
- Tropical Storm (39-73 mph)
- Category 1 Hurricane (74-95 mph)
- Category 2 Hurricane (96-110 mph)
- Category 3 Hurricane (111-129 mph)
- Category 4 Hurricane (130-156 mph)
- Category 5 Hurricane (157 mph or higher)
