'Each spaghetti model represents the storm's path in a different weather model forecast,' atmospheric scientist Quinton Lawton told Newsweek.
Hurricane Tammy may be about to veer towards the U.S., bringing heavy rain and strong winds.Spaghetti models of the storm show that some of its potential paths include it making landfall in Florida, or alternatively in North Carolina, but that other possible paths could send it careening in the opposite direction into the Atlantic.
But when they are pretty spread apart, like now with Tammy, it indicates that there is more uncertainty in the forecast.'A storm or hurricane such as Tammy can change direction due to a number of factors, which may lead it along one or another of the strands of a spaghetti plot.Chris Slocum told Newsweek that the placement of middle latitude troughs is key to the direction a hurricane or tropical storm might take.
