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
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1815 UTC Sun Nov 8 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
1600 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A 999 mb low pressure is centered
near 28N56W this morning. A 1227 UTC ASCAT scatterometer pass
indicated peak winds of 35 kt near 30N53W. Additionally, a 1430
UTC Sentinel-6A altimeter pass showed peak seas of 15 ft in the
same area. Seas are 8 ft or higher north of 20N between 45W-70W. A
surface trough extends from the low southward to 18N60W with
scattered moderate and isolated strong convection from 17N-23N
between 50W-63W. A warm front extends eastward from the low to
24N36W. Numerous moderate and isolated strong convection is
occurring from 24N-30N between 40W-55W. The low will move east-
northeastward, shifting east of the forecast waters by midweek. An
area of strong to gale-force winds, and rough to very rough seas,
peaking near 14 ft, will prevail north of the low, impacting the
waters mainly north of about 28N and east of 60W through today.
After the gale diminishes, a large area of fresh to near gale SW
winds will promote 12-18 ft seas through Tue night in our marine
waters.
Please read the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National
Hurricane Center at website:
https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic along the coast of Sierra
Leon 07N12W to 06N14W. The ITCZ extends from 07N14W to 04N41W.
Scattered moderate convection is from 05N-08N east of 18W.
GULF OF AMERICA...
A stationary front is located from the Florida Keys to 23N88W, but
with no significant winds, seas, or convection. Ridging north of
the Gulf is promoting gentle to moderate winds and seas 2-5 ft
across forecast waters today. A surface trough along the NE Mexico
coastline north of 22N and extending inland into S Texas is
promoting scattered moderate convection north of 25N west of 97W.
For the forecast, a frontal boundary from the Florida Straits to
23N88W will dissipate by late Mon. Moderate to fresh winds will
prevail behind the front. High pressure will then build across the
area, with winds diminishing to gentle to moderate. The next cold
front will move into the NW Gulf on Thu and rapidly shift across
the Gulf basin. The front will be followed by fresh to strong
winds and building seas.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Due to the gale-force low northeast of the Caribbean, the pressure
gradient across forecast waters is weak, promoting only gentle to
moderate winds and seas 1-4 ft. A surface trough extends from
17N67W to 10N70W with scattered moderate convection from 10N-17N
between 66W-70W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection
is occurring over the Leeward Islands from 17N-19N between
60W-64W.
For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the basin will
result in moderate or weaker trade winds, along with slight to
moderate seas, through Mon. Winds will strengthen over the central
Caribbean by Tuesday and then prevail through the week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the Special Features section for information on a Gale
Warning.
Aside from the low in Special Features, a stationary front begins
at 23N35W to 12N29W, where it transitions to a cold front to
31N15W. Winds are fresh to strong with seas 8-15 ft north of 26N
east of 30W. Additionally, large N swell continued north of 25N
between 30W-45W. Scattered moderate convection is occurring from
21N-30N between 25W-33W and north of 27N east of 18W. Elsewhere
winds are moderate or weaker with seas 3-7 ft.
For the forecast west of 55W, the low pres in the Special Features
will move east-northeastward, shifting east of the forecast
waters by midweek. Elsewhere, a cold front extends from 31N69W to
the NW Bahamas then stationary to the Florida Straits. The
stationary portion of the front will dissipate by Mon while the
cold front will move eastward over the waters N of 25N through the
middle of the 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
