These times correspond to 8 pm, 2 am, 8 am, and 2 pm EDT, respectively. Numerical models are typically run four times per day: 0000, 0600, 1200, and 1800 UTC. The National Hurricane Center and other official tropical cyclone forecast centers make use of two different forms of dynamical model guidance during the forecast process: 'early' and 'late' models. Click here for the partial source document for this list, or click here for a listing of deprecated identifers (e.g., to help interpret the historical forecasts available from this page). The National Hurricane Center has an excellent website with more details on the formulations for many of the models listed below. Obviously, an 18-foot storm surge at high tide is that much worse than an 18-foot surge at low tide.Ever wonder which forecast model each of those three or four letter identifiers refers to on the forecast model track and intensity plots? Or what the difference is between various model types? This list, current as of the 2020 hurricane season, has the answers. Another factor in the severity of the storm surge is tide. Contrary to a popular myth, the storm surge is entirely wind-driven water-it is not caused by the low pressure of the eye. The peak storm surge is on the right-front quadrant (left-front in the Southern Hemisphere) of the eyewall at landfall, where on-shore winds are the strongest, and at the leading edge of the eyewall. In deep-water enviroments, such as the Hawaiian islands, storm surge will be enhanced by the rapidly decreasing ocean depth as the wind-driven surge approaches the coast.

The exact storm surge in any given area will be determined by how quickly the water depth increases offshore. Historically, storm surge is the primary killer in hurricanes. In the Northwest Pacific, a typhoon that reaches 150 mph (241 km/hr) is called a Super Typhoon.

Many buildings destroyed, or structurally damaged beyond repair. Hurricane force winds extend well inland.Д¬ategory 5 вЂ“ 137+ knots (157+ mph 252+ km/h). Severe coastal erosion, with permanent changes to the coastal landscape not unheard of. Complete roof failures on many buildings. Storm surge begins to cause significant damage in beaches and harbors, with small buildings destroyed.Д¬ategory 4 вЂ“ 113-136 knots (130-156 mph 209-251 km/h). Some trees blown down, more extensive limb damage.Д¬ategory 3 вЂ“ 96-112 knots (111-129 mph 178-208 km/h). The main threat to life and property may be flooding from heavy rains.Д¬ategory 2 вЂ“ 83-95 knots (96-110 mph 154-177 km/h). There is no significant damage to buildings. Damage is limited to foliage, signage, unanchored boats and mobile homes. The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane ScaleД¬ategory 1 вЂ“ 64-82 knots (74-95 mph 119-153 km/h). In the Atlantic Ocean, East Pacific, Central Pacific (east of the International Dateline) and Southeast Pacific (east of 160вЋ) a Hurricane in the Northwest Pacific (west of the International Dateline) a Typhoon in the Southwest Pacific (west of 160вЋ) and Southeast Indian Ocean (east of 90вЋ) a Severe Tropical Cyclone in the North Indian Ocean a Severe Cyclonic Storm and in the Southwest Indian Ocean (west of 90вЋ) a Tropical Cyclone. When the winds are sustained (based on a one-minute average) at 74 mph (64 knots 119 km/hr), the storm becomes: Tropical storms are named in the Atlantic, East, Central and Northwest Pacific, in the South Indian Ocean, and in the Arabian Sea. As the system strengthens, it becomes a tropical storm with winds from 39 to 73 mph (35-63 knots 63-118 km/hr).
