Hurricane Sarah Weather Maps (Briefing Display)

A vast, Atlantic hurricane with an ominous eye and sprawling spiral bands; wind fields and a locked-in course sweep west-to-east over open water. Satellite imagery and briefing charts portray its swollen cloud canopy, time-stamped vectors, and a cone of uncertainty; staff handle printouts and point to projected positions as the storm’s locked track menaces a carrier battle group and prompts instant operational action.
