As time moves forward we see a stationary globe fixed over the Atlantic Ocean. The ocean is colored in blue to red where blue indicates low sea surface temperatures and red is high sea surface temperatures. Moving above the colorful oceans are blobs of greens, yellows and reds where green is low precipitation and red is high. Slightly obscuring some of these blobby structures are white clouds. There is a vertical list of storm names on the right hand side of the screen. As time moves forward a cyan colored track emerges showing the most current Atlantic storm. As the storm changes intensity a marker is dropped at the point of change. The markers are as follows: TD stand for Tropical Depression. TS stands for Tropical Storm. The numbers 1 through 5 are hurricane strengths. The corresponding named storm is also highlighted in the right-hand list as it remains active, fading back out once it has passed. The storms names are as follows: Alberto, Beryl, Chris, Debby, Ernesto, Francine, Gordon, Helene, Isaac, Joyce, Kirk, Leslie, Milton, Nadine, Oscar, Patty, Rafael, and Sara. Once Sara ends, all the storm names light up and the sea surface temperture, precipitation measurements, and clouds all fade away leaving all the tracks over a plain blue Atlantic Ocean.",
