XTRAP is short for eXTRAPolation. It is a straight line plot of the storm based on its current direction and speed. No forecasting at all on it.

Yeah...why didn't *I* think of that when I was asked originally....We had been talking about the program that displays trends, but the frams all had the ....XTRAP... line on it and you are right, this is the extension of the current path...where it'd go if it didn't turn at all. Good thinking....
