AccuWeather.com has created a number of specialty maps for Galveston.com, designed for tracking the progress of tropical storms and hurricanes. Use these maps in conjunction with our Hurricane Position graphic, as well as statements issued by the NHC with storm positions. You may also want to consult our window of movement graphic and pay close attention to where the storm is anticipated to go.
To use these tracking maps, select either a GIF file, which can be printed directly from your browser, or a PDF file, which you will need the Adobe Acrobat Plug-in to view and print.
