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

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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0435 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the Atlantic
ridge and the Colombian Low will continue to support strong to
near gale-force trade winds over the south-central Caribbean,
including the Gulf of Venezuela, into early next week. Early this
afternoon satellite scatterometer data showed minimal gale- force
winds off the north coast of Colombia, where satellite altimeter
data showed seas of 12 to 15 ft. Winds are forecast to pulse to
gale- force off the coast of Colombia again tonight through Sun
morning. Rough to very rough seas of 12 to 14 ft are expected with
these winds.
Please refer to the latest NWS High Seas Forecast at website:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more details.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
A tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean with axis along 69W
south of 18N, moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Scattered showers
and isolated thunderstorms are depicted from 11N to 14.5N between
61.5W and the wave axis.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
Mauritania near 19N16W and continues southwestward to 09N37W. The
ITCZ continues from 09N37W to 07N57W. Scattered convection is
depicted from 07N to 09N between 45W and 57W. Isolated convection
is depicted from 08N to 10N between 20W and 38W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
The western Atlantic surface ridge extends west-northwestward
across Florida into the Gulf region. Associated southeasterly
low level flow continues to transport abundant low level moisture
into the basin. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
noted over the central Gulf. The subtropical ridge is supporting
light to gentle winds east of 88W. Gentle to moderate E to SE
winds generally prevail west of 88W, except for moderate to fresh
winds north of the Yucatan Peninsula. Seas 2 to 4 ft prevail
across the basin.
For the forecast, a cold front will become stationary just N of
the area early next week, enhancing thunderstorms across the far
northern Gulf. Mariners can expect gusty winds, frequent
lightning, and locally higher seas near the stronger
thunderstorms. Elsewhere, high pressure will dominate, supporting
gentle to moderate SE winds. Fresh to strong easterly winds will
pulse offshore the Yucatan Peninsula each night.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
gale conditions forecast for offshore Colombia. A Gale Warning is
in effect.
As previously mentioned, the pressure gradient between the Atlantic
ridge and the Colombian Low supports fresh to strong winds over
the central Caribbean, with the strongest winds reaching minimal
gale-force offshore Colombia. Rough to very rough seas are with
these winds. Fresh to strong winds are also noted in the Gulf of
Honduras. Moderate to fresh trade winds and moderate seas dominate
the eastern Caribbean. Rough seas, generated by the strong winds
in the central Caribbean, are reaching the SW part of the basin
where moderate to fresh trades prevail. Scattered showers, with
embedded thunderstorms, are over the SW Caribbean. For convection
information over the eastern Caribbean, please read the Tropical
Waves section above.
For the forecast, the aforementioned pressure gradient between
high pressure north of the basin and lower pressures over northern
South America supports gale-force NE winds and rough seas over
the south central Caribbean tonight, and strong to near-gale trade
winds across the central portion of the basin through the
weekend. Trades over the Gulf of Honduras will pulse to strong
each evening through the forecast period.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A diffluent pattern aloft is helping to induce scattered showers
and thunderstorms across the waters N of 24N between 53W and 64W.
The rest of the tropical Atlantic is under the influence of a
broad subtropical ridge that sustains moderate to locally fresh
winds south of 23N and moderate seas, except for locally strong
winds north of the Hispaniola and the Windward Passage.
Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will remain
dominant through the period, supporting moderate to fresh trades
south of 23N, with mainly gentle winds to the north. Pulsing
strong winds are expected each night offshore Hispaniola and in
the Windward Passage.

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
