Tracking storms
You can use the STORM TRACK function to monitor significant
storms in your area. These include tropical disturbances, depres-
sions, storms and cyclones, hurricanes, typhoons and super-
typhoons.
The display shows the path the storm has taken, its current and
forecast position, the wind radii (for its current position only), and its
current direction and speed of travel.
