Storm track

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-009281

The path or trajectory followed by a weather system, such as a tropical cyclone or an extratropical cyclone, over its lifespan. These tracks are influenced by large-scale atmospheric steering currents and can vary significantly, impacting which regions experience severe weather. Forecasting storm tracks is a primary objective of numerical weather prediction models.
