AbstractCyclones occur in both the tropics (as hurricanes) and middle latitudes (as, e.g., Nor'easters), posing significant threats to lives and economies. While weather forecasts have improved overall, the evolution and hazards of some of these high-impact storms remain poorly forecast and understood, partly because different types of storms are often studied in isolation. However, real-world storms can transform and interact with other weather systems, as seen with Hurricanes Sandy (2012) and Helene (
