Image: Hurricane Hermine wind history as a tropical cyclone

Description: Wind history of Hurricane Hermine during its lifespan as a tropical cyclone from National Hurricane Center Advisories 1 (August 28) through 24 (September 3), although there was no history of tropical storm force winds until advisory 13 on August 31. Hermine transitioned to a post-tropical cyclone as of Advisory 25 on September 3. At that time, the storm still had tropical storm force winds and the NHC continued issuing advisories until Advisory 38 on September 6. According to the NHC, the wind history graphic "shows how the size of the storm has changed, and the areas potentially affected so far by sustained winds of tropical storm force (in orange) and hurricane force (in red). The display is based on the wind radii contained in the set of Forecast/Advisories indicated at the top of the figure. Users are reminded that the Forecast/Advisory wind radii represent the maximum possible extent of a given wind speed within particular quadrants around the tropical cyclone. As a result, not all locations falling within the orange or red swaths will have experienced sustained tropical storm or hurricane force winds, respectively."
