136 Visitors Tracking The Tropics!
PLEASE SUPPORT TRACK THE TROPICS
Track The Tropics is the #1 source to track the tropics 24/7! Since 2013 the main goal of the site is to bring all of the important links and graphics to ONE PLACE so you can keep up to date on any threats to land during the Atlantic Hurricane Season! Hurricane Season 2026 in the Atlantic starts on June 1st and ends on November 30th. Do you love Spaghetti Models? Well you've come to the right place!! Remember when you're preparing for a storm: Run from the water; hide from the wind!

Tropical Weather Discussion

1815 UTC Fri Jun 5 2026
Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of America, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South
America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the
Equator to 31N. The following information is based on satellite
imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.
Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1700 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Gale Warning East of 35W: The pressure gradient between a 1030 mb
high pressure system centered southwest of the Azores and lower
pressures in northwest Africa supports strong to gale- force
northerly winds in the marine zone of Agadir. Gale-force winds
are expected to occur through 06/1200 UTC, with severe gusts.
These winds will create rough seas of 10 ft and higher. Similar
conditions will continue into the weekend. For more details, refer
to the Meteo-France High Seas Forecast listed on their website
https://wwmiws.wmo.int.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
A tropical wave is along 22W, south of 13N, moving west at 10 kt.
Scattered moderate convection is present from 05N to 08N between
18W and 25W.
A tropical wave is along 47W, south of 12N, moving westward at
15-20 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is
evident from 02N to 09N between 40W and 53W.
Another tropical wave is along 59W, south of 16N, moving westward
at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is near the wave axis
S of 11N. This tropical wave will move across the Windward Islands
tonight into Sat increasing the likelihood of showers.
A tropical wave is over the eastern caribbean along 71W, south of
16N, moving westward at 15 kt. Convection is limited over the
Caribbean waters.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 16N16W and continues
southwestward to 05N28W. The ITCZ extends from 05N28W to 07N45W.
Convection in this area is primarily associated with the tropical
waves previously mentioned.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
Recent satellite derived wind data indicate fresh to strong E to
SE winds over the eastern Gulf and north of a dissipating stationary
front that extends across western Cuba into the SE Gulf to near
23N87W. Similar wind speeds are also noted over the eastern Bay of
Campeche, and in the W Gulf W of 95W. Moderate seas prevail across
much of the Gulf, except for the Bay of Campeche where slight seas
are prevalent. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are near the
frontal boundary.
For the forecast, gentle to moderate winds will prevail across
the Gulf region. The exception will be off the Yucatan Peninsula,
where a diurnal trough will support moderate winds to pulse to
fresh, occasionally strong, during the evenings.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The Atlantic ridge, anchored by a 1030 mb high pressure located
near 32N31W, reaches the NE Caribbean. The ridge, combined with
the Colombian low, supports fresh to strong easterly trade winds
and moderate seas in the south-central Caribbean and the Gulf of
Honduras. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to
moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast, moderate to fresh E to SE trade winds and
moderate seas will persist across the Caribbean into Sat as the
Atlantic ridge north of the area weakens and shifts eastward. The
exception will be fresh to strong pulses in the Gulf of Honduras
tonight. Winds will begin to increase again over the central
Caribbean by Sat night, and over the NW part of the basin early
next week as the pressure gradient tightens between the Atlantic
ridge and broad area of low pressure over the eastern Pacific
offshore of Central America.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please read the Special Features section about a Gale Warning in
the Meteo-France forecast region.
A frontal boundary extends from SE of Bermuda to the southern
Bahamas and western Cuba. Scattered moderate convection is ongoing
over much of the central and southern Bahamas, while more
scattered showers and thunderstorms are ongoing along the
remainder of the front NE of the Bahamas. High pressure located
over the SE United States follows this system. The remainder of
the Atlantic forecast area is dominated by a broad subtropical
ridge, supporting moderate to fresh trades across the vast
majority of the Atlantic W of 30W. Fresh to strong N to NE winds
and rough seas are found north of 18N and east of 30W. Gentle to
moderate trades and moderate seas prevail elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, a frontal boundary extends from
near Bermuda to the central Bahamas and western Cuba. The front
will dissipate late into Sat, as high pressure builds across the
area. This pattern will allow gentle to moderate winds and
moderate seas into early next week.

Marine Weather Discussion for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea,
and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W
and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas
This is the last Marine Weather Discussion issued by the National
Hurricane Center. For marine information, please see the Tropical
Weather Discussion at: hurricanes.gov.
...GULF OF MEXICO...
High pressure along the middle Atlantic coasts extending SW to
the NE Gulf will remain generally stationary throughout the
week. This will support moderate to fresh E to SE winds over the
basin through Tue. Winds will increase to fresh to strong late
Tue through Fri as low pressure deepens across the Southern
Plains.
...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
55W AND 64W...
A ridge NE of the Caribbean Sea will shift eastward and weaken,
diminishing winds and seas modestly through Wed. Trade winds
will increase basin wide Wed night through Fri night as high
pressure builds across the western Atlantic.
...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...
A weakening frontal boundary from 25N65W to the central Bahamas
will drift SE and dissipate through late Tue. Its remnants will
drift N along 23N-24N. The pressure gradient between high
pressure off of Hatteras and the frontal boundary will support
an area of fresh to strong easterly winds N of 23N and W of 68W
with seas to 11 ft E of the Bahamas late Tue through Fri.

The tropical cyclone statistics from the TWS will be found <br />on hurricanes.gov beginning with the 2025 hurricane season. This <br />change will allow for more frequent updates to the statistics and <br />the addition of graphics and links to supporting information that <br />this text only format cannot support. An account of tropical <br />cyclone names, classification (i.e., tropical depression, tropical <br />storm, or hurricane), and maximum sustained wind speed will be found <br />on hurricanes.gov at this url beginning around July 1: <br /><br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?basin=atl<br /><br />A sample webpage is provided here, with the "2023 Atlantic Summary <br />Table (PDF)" example linked below the Tropical Cyclone Reports <br />(TCRs):<br /><br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2023&basin=atl <br /><br />This information will be updated no less frequently than monthly <br />during the hurricane season and will be updated after the season's <br />TCRs are completed to document the official record of the season's <br />tropical cyclone activity. Previously, the statistics and data in <br />the TWS were based on real-time operational assessments and were <br />not updated when the season's TCRs were complete. The new <br />web-based format allows the information to be updated once the <br />post-analysis for the season is complete. <br /><br />For more information, see Service Change Notice 25-22: Migration of <br />the Tropical Weather Summary Information from Text Product Format to <br />hurricanes.gov:<br /><br />https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2025/scn25-<br />22_moving_info_from_tws_to_hurricanes.gov.pdf
