There is still time to see some adjustment in the development of this storm, that’s why it’s important to watch for updates coming out of the National Hurricane Center. They update the forecast track and cone every 3 hours. This is the same track and cone that can be found within our WHIO weather app.

Along with the track of the storm, the app can be manually set to send any hurricane or tropical storm watches and warnings directly to your phone when issued.
These alerts can be turned on within the app settings. Just be sure to allow push notifications.
