I've just implemented this in Flowx[1], the Android weather app I develop.

I have the "spaghetti bundle" but it was a major improvement when I added dots indicating the location of the hurricane center with time, as shown in this YouTube video[2]

BTW, these are ensemble models for the NOAA GFS (FV3) and CMC GDPS models. Ensemble models are where the starting conditions of weather simulation is perturbed slightly and the simulations re-solved. They do this 20-odd times and you end up with 20-odd tracks. So for both GFS and GDPS there will give 40-odd paths.

Sometimes, it can be interesting how the cluster of GFS tracks may differ from the GDPS tracks.

These look very cool!!
