As Hurricane Dorian heads toward the United States, Floridians are bracing for whether there will be an impact or the hurricane won’t make landfall there. Spaghetti models – sometimes known as spaghetti plots – are a good way to follow a hurricane’s track.
Here are some of the best sites to find spaghetti models for Hurricane Dorian’s path. According to CNN, it’s important to look at the closeness of the strands in spaghetti plots because “the more they are clustered together, the higher the confidence in the forecast.”
Hurricane Dorian might hit Florida as a Category 4 storm. Or, the latest models show, it might dodge the coast of Florida altogether.
