This template takes a single argument, colors. When colors=new, the new colors approved in Wikipedia:WikiProject Weather/Color RfC will be used, otherwise the old colors will be used. When all storm tracks are migrated, this parameter will be deprecated. It is written in consideration with transclusion on {{storm path}}. It will automatically break into multiple columns when being viewed on wider viewports.

The track of Typhoon Tip is shown on the right, with the track map key shown in the caption.
