Scientists analyze weather patterns in the area of a hurricane and build models to predict how they will interact. High and low pressure systems direct the movement of a hurricane and the conditions in the places a hurricane enters can either hinder or aid its development. Low pressure systems generally lead to a storm making left turns, while high pressure usually leads to right turns. These systems also influence humidity and wind shear, which play key roles in how strong a hurricane can become.
