that's not so big a problem.  hurricanes cover thousands of square miles of area.  it's just a matter of shaping your approach according to those variables.

Perhaps, but, what path will a hurricane follow?

Not even NOAA, can guess more than 10 minutes out with any major degree of
accuracy.    For that matter, anything more than about an hour, has a very
large margin of error, and even then the hurricane can still do something
unexpected.
