Hurricanes take time to develop and they and the systems that can develop into hurricanes are fairly easily identified from weather satellites. Forecast models are run that try to predict how a hurricane will interact with the surrounding weather systems and conditions. Meteorologists use this information to try to figure out what a hurricane is most likely to do.

Meteorologists use several formulas to predict the path of a hurricane. One factor involves upper level winds. Another factor involves the forward speed of the storm. Another involves the coloris forces caused by the wind speeds.

To some degree, yes but no more than a few days in advance and only after the storm has developed.
