When is hurricane season in Georgia?
Hurricane season in Georgia runs from June 1 to November 30. Most activity falls between mid-August and mid-October, and September 10 is the climatological peak, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A hurricane starts as a cluster of thunderstorms over warm ocean water. Warm, moist air rises from the sea surface. The air pressure near the surface drops, and more air flows in. The rotation of the Earth makes this air spin, counterclockwise in the Northern Hemisphere. Weak winds high in the atmosphere let the system organize. A system with a closed circulation is called a tropical depression. It becomes a tropical storm when its winds strengthen, and the National Hurricane Center gives it a name. It becomes a hurricane when its winds reach hurricane strength.
Sea temperatures around Georgia are highest in late summer. This is the time of the most storm activity. Late in the season, many storms start as tropical waves that leave West Africa and cross the Atlantic Ocean. Storms reach Georgia from the Atlantic Ocean. Storms that cross northern Florida can also reach the state.

What does the forecast cone show on the Georgia map?

The cone is part of the Storm Tracks layer, together with the current position, the past path, and the forecast path.
