What Are Hurricane Spaghetti Plots?

Hurricane spaghetti plots are graphics that overlay multiple forecast model tracks for a tropical storm or hurricane. Each line (or “noodle”) represents one computer model’s prediction of the storm’s path.

Why are they called spaghetti plots?

The lines resemble strands of spaghetti scattered across a map. These plots help meteorologists and the public understand the range of possible paths a storm could take.
