How to read this: “Observed” rows are past positions from the warning centre, “Forecast” rows are its official forecast positions and change with every new advisory. Wind figures are maximum sustained winds converted from the advisory (1 knot = 1.852 km/h). The two population columns are GDACS model estimates of how many people live inside winds of at least 39 mph (63 km/h) and 74 mph (119 km/h) at that position.
