# Hurricane & Storm Tracking

> Terrapin Associates hurricane tracking site providing up-to-date information about tropical cyclones in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Data is sourced from the US National Weather Service via the National Weather Wire Service. The site is intended for current storm monitoring, research, and historical reference.

The StormTrack system automatically creates an entry for each tropical depression, storm, or hurricane when the National Weather Service begins issuing advisories. The site updates hourly; during active hurricane season, storm entries, advisory text, and track plots are refreshed as new data becomes available.
