Here is your Hurricane MPH Hurricane development: 

1. HURRICANE: The storm has winds of more than 73 mph.
2. HURRICANE WATCH: Hurricane-force winds of more than 73 mph are possible within 36 hours.
3. HURRICANE WARNING: Hurricane-force winds are possible within 24 hours.
4. EYE: This is the hurricane’s roughly circular center area where the winds are comparatively lighter.
5. TROPICAL DEPRESSION:Has evidence of closed wind circulation around a center with sustained winds from 20 to 33 knots (23 to 38 mph).
6. TROPICAL STORM: Maximum sustained winds are from 34 to 63 knots (39 to 73 mph). The storm is named once it reaches tropical storm strength.
7. TROPICAL WAVE: A kink or bend in the normally straight flow of surface air in the tropics which forms a low pressure trough, or pressure boundary, and showers and thunderstorms. Can develop into a tropical cyclone, i.e., a hurricane.
8. LANDFALL: The place where the center of a storm intersects with land. Because the storm’s strongest winds are not in the center, an area can be greatly affected even if the storm doesn’t make landfall there.
9. ERROR CONE: This shows a broad path that a storm could take. Because of uncertainty in forecasting a storm’s path and strength, watches and warnings cover large areas of coastline. Those alerts mean anyone in a watch or warning area could be hit by a storm.
