Description:  This tab displays the forecast or actual impact summary report for the specified location group. It is generated by examining every location in the group and determining the forecast wind impact to that location.  The report shows the location name, state, maximum sustained wind speed expected, maximum wind gusts, forecast wind trend, day/date/time of max sustained wind, closest point of approach (CPA), damage estimate, forecast 5 day rainfall, watches and warnings and the arrival time, first time, last time and duration of 34, 50 and 64 knot winds.  See National Hurricane Center wind radii considerations for more information on the limitations of forecast wind radii. Locations that have been analyzed using Advanced Wind Estimation are indicated by their location name in red and in the title of the report as well as including an additional column showing the maximum non-AWE wind. See Advanced Wind Estimation for more information. The graph portion shows the wind speed forecast over time along with the tide harmonic and/or the wind direction. The tide/wind secondary plot change be cycled by left clicking on the chart.

The 2^nd sample image above is included to show an example of a report for a set of oil platforms during Hurricane Ivan. Note for this type of “offshore” location, wave heights are also included on the report.
