Managing Storm Tracks
4.7 Creating Automatic Storm Sequences
The Storm Sequence Main Menu has only one control: Go!. The area is restricted
by the parameters you specify in the Setup > Storm > Storm Sequence
command. When you select Go, the program locates the most dangerous storm
within the current range, generates an ETA box that lists the communities that lie in the path of
the storm and the time at which the storm is predicted to arrive at each community, generates the
SCITs for the storm in question, and displays the storm track.
When you select Go again, the program repeats the same process for the next most dangerous
storm. We recommend that you limit the number of storms to four.
Setting up Storm Sequences
When you select Setup > Storm > Storm
Sequence, the Storm Sequence Setup menu
opens.

Region of Interest defines the
boundaries of your sequence by the
specified coordinates.
Set to current view changes the
sequence boundaries to match the
currently displayed view.
Clear (allow all storms) displays all storms regardless of geographical location.
Pan out to overview map between sides displays the overview map between lapses in your
sequence.
Number of storms to view in sequence specifies the maximum number of storms you can
track (we recommend 4).
Minimum view range when zoom in to storm specifies the minimum zoom range, in miles,
when you zoom in on a sequence. The zoom range is based on storm speed. This prevents the
system from zooming in too closely.
