I don’t know what kind of storm you mean. Let’s take a thunderstorm prediction. If your location is Atlanta, you can measure the distance between the thunderstorm and this location with the Distance & planning tool. Click the right button of your mouse on desktop or long press on screen of mobile device.

In this example the distance is 319km. Moving the time slider you see that the storm will hit Atlanta 17 hours later. Easy to calculate the displacement speed
