Are nature's most fearsome storms going to affect you and your area? Hurricane gives you the ability to track these storms on the go using your iPhone or iPod Touch. Animated satellite images and interactive forecast and tracking maps help you see where these monster storms are heading. Text bulletins give you the detailed information you need.
No storms right now? No problem! We keep track of the tropics through Tropical Outlooks, issued every 6 hours from the National Hurricane Center, Central Pacific Hurricane Center, and the JTWC. "Invest" information can be found in the Tropical Outlook and Tropical Discussion text products.
Hurricane helps you track all tropical storms tracked by the National Hurricane Center and Central Pacific Hurricane Center! Select a currently active storm, inactive storm or past season storm to view every detail available for that storm. Use the arrows to move between plots on the broadcast quality interactive tracking map, viewing each plot's detailed information including wind speed, lat/lon, speed/direction, pressure, date and time, and your distance from each point. For active storms, move through the forecast cone and view each of the points, estimated wind speed, and your distance from each forecast point.

Detailed interactive tracking maps are only one part of what Hurricane provides. Animated Satellites, Radar, Spaghetti / Computer Models are all available for currently active storms.
