West coast folks should give the NHC's interactive map a try. The static map gets copied around a lot but the interactive map will let you see the past/current track (remember the track doesn't matter, it's just a best guess center, anywhere near the track is bad), wind speeds, earliest arrival time of winds, storm surge watches & warnings, wind radius, etc.

It's an underused treasure, however simplistic the UI may be.

You can find individual static maps (sadly very low resolution) here as well for Hurricane Hilary: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_ep4.shtml?start#contents
