The paths of hurricanes and other storm systems are determined by large scale wind patterns. These patterns are influenced by the trade winds, the prevailing westerlies, and high and low pressure systems. By showing the strength of these wind patterns and the locations and sized of high and low pressure systems it is possible to calculate how the will likely affect a storm's path.

Why can't we predict the exact path of a hurricane?

The exact path of a hurricane is difficult to predict because hurricanes are complex and influenced by many factors, such as wind patterns, temperature, and the ocean. These factors can change quickly and are challenging to accurately forecast, making it hard to predict the precise path of a hurricane.


Was there any way to know when Hurricane Andrew first started that if it was going to move all the way into Gulf of Mexico?

Not really. While the path Hurricane Andrew took was not unusual, it it impossible to make accurate predictions on a hurricane's path more than about a week into the future. So when Andrew first became a tropical storm, nobody knew quite where it would go.
