🔍 Key Concepts

• Typical forward speed of hurricanes in mid-latitudes after they curve away from the equator (recurvature) • Difference between storm wind speed and the speed of the storm’s movement over the ground • How hurricane tracks change when they start moving into the westerlies (prevailing west-to-east winds)

💭 Think About

• After recurvature, does a hurricane generally slow down, speed up, or stay the same as it moves into higher latitudes? • Which option best represents a realistic travel speed for a large weather system compared to ship or aircraft speeds? • If a hurricane were moving at over 60 knots, what would that look like in terms of how fast its center would cross an ocean area on a weather chart?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear you are thinking about the speed of movement of the storm center, not the wind speed inside the hurricane • Compare each choice to typical mid-latitude low-pressure system speeds you may have studied (frontal lows, extratropical storms) • Eliminate choices that seem too slow or too fast for a large synoptic-scale weather system covering hundreds of miles
