Re: Dumb newbie question about the new map and "red" and "blue" areas

Quote:

The red area shows the hurricane winds. The blue area shows the tropical storm/winds.

The red area is shown to be a decreasing cone. I assume that's because once it hits land, it looses strength and consequently gets smaller?

The map shows the winds for the red area at certain times and locations. What are the winds for the blue area at certain times and locations?




The winds in the blue areas are not forcast in intensity from the invisibe line between the hurricane force winds and the outer edge of the storm. Since I'm not a weather guy, I guess the answer is 'hey man; this thing is spinning, it has long arms full of all kinds of weather imaginable and winds will vary in strength and direction depending where you are inrelation to the center storm' (or something like that)
