There are some data sources that give you the center location on a relatively frequent basis. It's good enough to tell me generally where a storm's center is, then I take a 50km radius around that point and look for the warmest value there is

I use 0.84 for the 150m, and 0.80 for the 500m. That is what I believe is correct, hopefully I'm not mistaken. It's easy to run away with those raw mean wind values so I feel like it's important to have the reduction in there

Still, landfall is not expected for another couple days so it is not time to let your guard down. This will still be a very dangerous storm as it is and does still have time to strengthen

Thank you! It's a new feature I added the other day. Don't know how I didn't have it earlier honestly
