Using an image from The National Hurricane Center or Noaa as an example:

The Cone of Probability is BOTH the White and the White Speckled Area in the image/picture.  This is how Noaa indicates where they think a storm is going to go.  Do remember it is a probability based on guidance from models – it is not yet a fact as it has not yet occurred.

The White Area is the potential area that the storm may influence for the next three days. 

The extended White Speckled Area is the probable area of where the storm may go for the 4th and 5th days.

The Probable Track is the black line running through the middle of the image/picture.  The Black Dots which are right on the black line have a letter.  H is for hurricane and S is for tropical storm.  Remember that this is all a projected path.

General Advice 

We would advise you to remember that at all times hurricanes and tropical storms are changeable and fickle and that they will sometimes go where we do not expect them to.  Keep checking this site on a regular basis for updated hurricane information in the event of a predicted hurricane and if the hurricane falls within the Cone of Probability make sure that your own personal hurricane plan is thought through properly. 

Safety for Holiday Makers in The Event of a Hurricane

If you are on holiday or vacation in the Dominican Republic during a Tropical Storm or Hurricane, then your tour operator will immediately inform you of what to do.  Please respect what they tell you. Do not panic or shout, most of the hoteliers in the Dominican Republic are used to the hurricane season every year in the Caribbean and have practiced procedures to ensure that you and your family are out of harms way.
