   The cone is just a shape defined by track forecast errors over the previous five years, such that there's historically a two-thirds chance the track of the center of the storm will remain inside the cone, and a one-third chance it will be outside the cone, the same cone is used all year long, for every forecast of every storm... they're identical.

2. Jessica Kitt:

   We also found that you can overlay the zoomies on top of the cone, and people understand the forecast better, in fact, if they have practice with this, they do a better job of interpreting the NHC cone after this experience than if they did not see the zoomies paired with the cone. So a simple switch for meteorologists might be to show zoomies with the cone.
