Tracking storms
You can use the STORM TRACK function to monitor significant storms in your area.
These include tropical disturbances, depressions, storms and cyclones, hurricanes,
typhoons and super typhoons.
The system displays the track the storm has taken, its current and forecasted
position, the wind radii (current position only), direction and speed of travel.
