farthest extent from the center of ETA

The working best track wind radii are the farthest extent from the center of 34-, 50-, and 64-knot winds in each quadrant over the life of a tropical cyclone. The working best track wind radii will generally not exactly match the radii contained in the tropical cyclone advisories. This is because all of the data in a working best track are subject to modification during the life cycle ofthe cyclone.

(Note: The "working best track" represents the forecasters' best estimates of the location, intensity, and size of a tropical cyclone while the cyclone is ongoing. After the life cycle is complete, forecasters prepare a "final best track", using data that might not have been available operationally, and it is the final best track that represents NHC's official historical record for the cyclone.)
