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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0500 UTC.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 32W, south of 20N,
moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms are present from 06N to 12N and between 30W and
37W.
An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 65W, south of 19N,
moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
active over northeastern Venezuela and the Lesser Antilles.
A western Caribbean tropical wave is along 84W, south of 19N,
moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
are active S of 15N and W of 75W, including over Panama, Costa
Rica, and Nicaragua.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
Mauritania near 18N16W and dives southwestward to a 1012 mb low
pressure near 16N30W and then to 09N46W. Scattered moderate
convection is active off the coast of Africa, generally from 04N
to 11N and E of 20W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A stationary front is analyzed along much of the northern Gulf
coast. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are active across much
of the Gulf N of 24N. The Atlantic ridge extends east to west
along roughly 23/24N, from the Florida Straits to the coast of
Tamaulipas in northeast Mexico. This pattern is supporting
moderate to fresh SW to W winds north of 25N where seas are 3-5
ft, and gentle to moderate breezes and 1-3 ft seas elsewhere.
For the forecast, relatively weak high pressure will remain in
control of the weather pattern across the Gulf, promoting gentle
to moderate winds through the week. The exceptions will be fresh
NE to E winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula
nightly through the period, as well as the far northern Gulf,
where a cold front approaching the coast will help to induce
moderate to fresh W to SW winds through Mon. Scattered to numerous
showers and thunderstorms are expected over the eastern Gulf, and
over the central Gulf N of 25N between 87W and 92W early this
week as a mid to upper-level trough and a cold front approach the
Gulf coast.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The westward-building subtropical high pressure system positioned
over the central Atlantic forces fresh to strong easterly trade
winds and rough seas over much of the central Caribbean. Moderate
to locally fresh easterly winds and moderate seas are found in the
eastern Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight
to moderate seas prevail. Scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms are impacting the NW Caribbean waters as well as
near the Windward Passage as they propagate southwestward off of
Cuba.
For the forecast, the pressure gradient between Atlantic high
pressure and relatively lower pressure in northern South America
will continue to support fresh to strong trades over the central
basin through much of the week. Fresh to locally strong winds will
pulse in the Gulf of Honduras at night Mon through Thu. A
tropical wave, near 82W is helping to enhance thunderstorms over
the southwestern Caribbean. The wave will move inland Central
America late tonight into early Mon.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Favorable upper-level conditions and abundant tropical moisture
combine to produce scattered moderate convection from Cuba across
the Bahamas to Bermuda. Elsewhere, the tropical Atlantic is
dominated by a 1026 mb high pressure system centered near 33N56W,
supporting fresh to locally strong southerly winds and seas of 4-6
ft north of 28N and west of 75W, as well as along the northern
coasts of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola. Another area of fresh to
strong NE winds is confirmed by scatterometer data in between the
Canary Islands. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh winds and
moderate seas prevail across much of the remaining tropical
Atlantic.
For the forecast west of 55W, a high pressure ridge extending
from the central Atlantic to South Florida will change little
through Tue, then lift N to central Florida on Wed and N of 31N on
Thu. The pressure gradient between the ridge and a cold front
moving through the southeastern U.S. will continue to support
fresh to strong SW winds ahead of the front, along with scattered
thunderstorms over the majority of the area. Fresh to strong
trades will pulse just north of Hispaniola at night through the
period.

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
