About
Hurricane Tracker draws a live tropical cyclone forecast cone on a dashboard card for storms worldwide. The integration polls the U.S. National Hurricane Center for the Atlantic and East and Central Pacific, and GDACS for the other basins, so it depends on those cloud services. The card shows the cone of uncertainty, past and forecast tracks colored by Saffir-Simpson category, coastal watch and warning segments for NHC storms, region labels, and a marker pointing toward the home location. It also lists distance from home, current intensity, movement, and peak forecast category, with a choice of miles or kilometers. The map uses a bundled offline basemap, and optional satellite or U.S. radar imagery can be drawn under the cone. Setup happens in the UI, where the home location, which storms to show, range and behavior when no storms are active are chosen, and the card must be added to a dashboard separately.

From the README
Draws a live tropical-cyclone forecast cone on a Lovelace card — the cone of uncertainty, past and forecast tracks, Saffir–Simpson forecast points, coastal watch/warning segments, region labels, your home location, and a data bar underneath. Covers storms worldwide.
The integration polls the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) for the Atlantic and East/Central Pacific, and GDACS (the EU's Global Disaster Alert and Coordination System) for every other basin. It parses the storm geometry, picks the storms that match your chosen scope, clips a bundled global coastline basemap to each storm, and hands the card a ready-to-draw payload over an authenticated websocket.
- Global coverage — Atlantic, East/Central Pacific (NHC), plus Northwest Pacific, North Indian, Southwest Indian, Australian region, and South Pacific (GDACS).
- Cone of uncertainty, past track, forecast track, and forecast dots colored by Saffir–Simpson category.
- Coastal watch/warning segments in the official NHC colors (Atlantic/Pacific; GDACS basins don't publish these).
- Map overlays: region/country labels, an off-screen home marker that points toward home when it's outside the frame, and a far-offshore mileage scale.
- Pan and zoom — drag, pinch, or scroll to explore around the storm; a Recenter button restores the default frame, or lock the map from the gear menu to keep it put.
