00:00Big changes are coming to the way hurricanes are predicted in 2025.
00:04The National Hurricane Center just announced updates that could help save lives.
00:09First, hurricane advisories will now be issued up to 72 hours in advance,
00:13giving people more time to prepare.
00:16The famous cone of uncertainty is also getting 3 percent to 6 percent smaller,
00:20making forecasts more precise.
00:23But that's not all.
00:24A brand-new symbol will now highlight areas where both a hurricane watch
00:28and a tropical storm warning are in effect.
00:31This means better communication of risks for inland areas, not just coastal ones.
00:36And let's talk rip currents.
00:38Deadly surf conditions will now be tracked in a national rip current risk map.
00:42That's a big deal,
00:43considering rip currents were the second deadliest hurricane threat in the past decade.
00:48With hurricane season starting June 1st, these changes could make all the difference.
00:52Stay informed, stay prepared, and stay safe.
