274 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 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
1647 UTC.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
The tropical wave that emerged off the west coast of Africa
earlier this morning has it axis along 18.5W, south of 15N. This
wave is moving W at around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
depicted from 02N to 06N between 15W and 20W.
A second tropical wave is near 31W, south of 13N moving W at 15
to 20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted where the wave
meets the monsoon trough from 02N to 07N between 25W and 34W.
Another tropical wave is along 56W, south of 13.5N, moving
westward at 15 to 20 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
convection is evident from 04N to 10N between 48W and 57W.
A tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean Sea along 65W,
south of 14.5N, moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. The wave appears
to enhance convection over portions of Venezuela.
Another tropical wave is moving across the western Caribbean Sea.
Its axis is along 81W, south of 18.5N into the EPAC region.
Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is observed near
the southern portion of the wave axis and along the eastern end of
the EPAC monsoon trough.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of western
Africa near 14N17W and continues southwestward to 03N33W. The
ITCZ extends from 03N33W to the coast of Brazil near 02N49.5W
where scattered moderate convection is noted from 00N to 04N W of
42W. Additional convection across the area is related to the
above mentioned tropical waves.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
High pressure over the western Atlantic and the SE of the United
States extends a ridge across the Gulf waters supporting gentle
to moderate SE winds, with the exception of moderate to fresh
winds N and W of the Yucatan Peninsula. Seas are slight to
moderate within these wind speeds. A surface trough over the
western part of the basin is supporting scattered moderate
convection south of 26N and west of 91W. Another area of scattered
moderate convection is depicted north of 28N between 86W and 89W.
For the forecast, a ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf
region supporting gentle to moderate E to SE winds over the
eastern Gulf and moderate to fresh SE to S winds over the western
Gulf through at least early next week. 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. Slight to moderate seas will prevail with these winds.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Two tropical waves are moving westward across the Caribbean Sea.
Please, see the Tropical Waves section above for more details.
High pressure north of the area combined with lower pressures
across South America supports moderate to locally fresh trade
winds and moderate seas across the majority of the basin, with the
exception of the SW Caribbean where light to gentle winds are
noted. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is
occurring just south of the Hispaniola, Jamaica, and in the SW
Caribbean. Elsewhere, patches of low level clouds, embedded in the
trade wind flow, are noted producing isolated to scattered
passing showers.
For the forecast, moderate to fresh E to SE trade winds and
moderate seas will persist across the Caribbean today as the
Atlantic ridge north of the area weakens and shifts eastward.
Winds will begin to increase again over the central Caribbean late
tonight into Sun, and over the NW part of the basin Sun night
into Mon as the pressure gradient tightens between the Atlantic
ridge and a broad area of low pressure located over the eastern
Pacific offshore of Central America.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Three tropical waves are moving westward between the W coast of
Africa and the Lesser Antilles. Please refer to the Tropical
Waves section for more details.
A frontal boundary extends from 31N61W to near 25N74W. Ahead of
the front, a surface trough extends from 27N66W to eastern Cuba.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are along these two features.
High pressure over the southeastern United States and the western
Atlantic follows this frontal boundary. The remainder of the
Atlantic forecast area is dominated by a broad subtropical ridge,
anchored by a 1030 mb high pressure situated SW of the Azores
34N37W. Under the influence of this feature, a gentle to moderate
E to SE flow is seen N of 20N E of front to about 43W. Fresh to
strong N to NE winds and rough seas are found north of 18N and
east of 43W, including the Canary Islands. The strongest winds are
between the islands. Moderate to fresh trades and moderate seas
are elsewhere S of 20N between the coast of Africa and the Lesser
Antilles.
For the forecast west of 55W, the aforementioned frontal boundary will
begin to weaken today and dissipate early on Sun. A surface
trough will linger and drift westward through Mon night. A cold
front will reach from near 31N59W by late Tue, from near 30N55W to
26N63W and stationary to 27N69W, then shift E of the area Thu as
a high center N of the area slides eastward along 33N. This
weather pattern will generally support gentle to moderate winds
and moderate seas into next week, except for moderate to fresh
trades S of 22N between Hispaniola and Cuba beginning late Wed.$$

Another tropical wave is along 56W, south of 13.5N, moving

A tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean Sea along 65W,
south of 14.5N, moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. The wave appears
to enhance convection over portions of Venezuela.
Another tropical wave is moving across the western Caribbean Sea.

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.
