SeaStorm allows you to keep track of tropical storm and hurricane activity in the Atlantic and Eastern Pacific basins. Get quick access to what you need to stay informed during hurricane season! Features include:

• Quick overview of active hurricanes, tropical storms, depressions, and other cyclones
• Per-storm advisory & discussion text from the experts at the National Hurricane Center*
• Forecast cones (5-day uncertainty track), wind speed probability, and storm surge maps (when available)
• Background notifications of new and updated storms
• Multiple types of regional summary maps and satellite loops to choose from (full list below)
• Tap on any map to view full screen, with pinch-to-zoom, drag, and scroll support, even during loop playback!
• Optional Forecast Model Viewer Add-On: View forecast models (also known as spaghetti models) for active systems on an interactive map complete with panning, zooming, and individual model point information when tapped. Features selectable models, start time, and run length.** (See http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/modelsummary.shtml for more information on forecast models)
