Julio Forecast Summary  The current National Hurricane Center (NHC) forecast map (above left) shows Julio passing to the north of Hawaii at tropical storm strength but includes most of the islands within the cone of uncertainty – the area where Julio’s center may actually track.  The windfield map (above right) is based on the GFDL model - one of many used to inform the NHC forecast - and provides an alternative perspective. It has Julio taking a more southerly track, bringing hurricane winds to several of the islands. The forecast track for this model is shown in bold gray and the NHC’s forecast track is shown in bold black. To illustrate the overall uncertainty in Arthur’s forecast track, forecast tracks for all current models are shown on the map in pale gray – most of these track north of the islands.
