This option is seldom used as Hurrtrak Online downloads all of the storm forecast information. However it does allow the user to enter, change or delete any of the storm's official forecast data. The forecast data shown in the data table is determined by the highlighted forecast row at the bottom of the window.

To Add a new forecast, enter the forecast advisory information and select Add / Edit forecast.

To Edit an existing forecast, change the forecast information and select Add / Edit forecast.
