Re: Trop Wave in SE Bahamas

what is "xtrap" (black line, i assume it means extrapolation)
what is the track though? its always a straight line, i am wondering if that is simply showing the current direction of movement?

that's it. extrapolated track off the present movement vector. it will almost always be outperformed by the models (sad when it isn't). -HF
