Why does the hurricane tracker show Hurricane Ian in a different location than the center of the wind cyclone? The tracker shows it coming ashore at Sanibel but the wind cyclone center is a few miles north near Port Charlotte.

The default tracker is based on NOAA / NHC official track while the wind layer is computed by a weather model, depending which one you select.
