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!!

    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Thu Mar 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1020 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Sea Gale Warning: The tight pressure gradient between
    a well established high pressure ridge over the northwestern
    Atlantic and low pressure over NW Colombia will continue to
    support fresh to near gale-force NE to E winds, and rough to very
    rough seas across much of the central and southwestern Caribbean
    Sea through the middle or next week. Winds offshore of Colombia
    are expected to pulse to gale-force overnight through Sat night.

    Please read the latest NWS High Seas Forecast issued by the
    National Hurricane Center at website:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more
    information.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 07N12W and extends to
    04N16W. The ITCZ extends from 04N16W to 00N30W to the coast of
    Brazil near 02S45W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from
    00N to 06N between 16W and 30W. Scattered to numerous moderate to
    strong convection is from 02S to 03N W of 34W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Broad surface ridging extends from the central Atlantic westward
    into the Gulf, which is providing moderate to fresh E to SE winds
    across the eastern half of the basin, and moderate or weaker
    winds W of 90W. Seas basin-wide are slight to moderate. Otherwise,
    oil rigs platforms as well as buoy data are reporting dense fog
    over the NW Gulf with visibility less than 2 nm.

    For the forecast, Atlantic high pressure will extend a broad ridge
    southwestward into the Gulf through early next week, thus
    supporting mainly moderate to fresh E to SE winds basin-wide. Seas
    will be slight to moderate through the forecast period.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see Special Features section above regarding a Gale Warning
    in the south-central Caribbean.

    The pressure difference between high pressure well north of the
    area and the NW Colombia low pressure maintains fresh to strong
    trades across much of the central and eastern Caribbean. Moderate
    to fresh trades prevail elsewhere. Rough seas are analyzed in the
    central and portions of the SW Caribbean, with moderate seas in
    the eastern Caribbean and slight to moderate seas prevailing in
    the NW basin.

    For the forecast, a ridge of high pressure will prevail N of the
    area into the weekend. The pressure gradient between the ridge and
    the Colombian low will support fresh to near gale-force trades
    across the central and eastern Caribbean through Mon. Winds
    offshore of Colombia will pulse to gale-force during the overnight
    hours through Sat night while fresh to strong NE winds in the
    Windward Passage and in the lee of Cuba will pulse through early
    Sat evening. In the Gulf of Honduras, fresh to strong winds will
    pulse at night today through Sun night. Otherwise, rough seas in
    easterly trade wind swell over the tropical N Atlantic will
    continue through Tue.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A 1037 mb high near 40N30W extends a ridge across much of the
    Atlantic, also supported by a 1027 mb high near 33N65W. As a
    result, fresh to strong trades and rough seas cover much of the
    Atlantic between the west coast of Africa and 55W between the
    Equator and 27N. Moderate to fresh trades and moderate to rough
    seas prevail between 55W and the southern Bahamas to the S of
    27N. Otherwise, moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate
    seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, moderate to fresh easterly winds
    will prevail S of 25N through Mon night, reaching strong speeds N
    of Hispaniola into the Windward passage. Rough seas will prevail
    within these winds and E of the central and southern Bahamas
    through Tue. Otherwise, moderate or weaker winds can be expected
    elsewhere across the region.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1122 AM EDT Mon May 17 2021

    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
