storm tracking
Following severe weather
Storm tracking is the process of monitoring and predicting the path, intensity, and development of severe weather systems—hurricanes, tornadoes, thunderstorms.
Meteorologists use radar, satellites, and computer models to track storms and issue warnings: The National Hurricane Center has been tracking the storm since it formed off the coast.
Storm tracking apps let ordinary people follow weather threats in real time.
