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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1040 UTC.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
A tropical wave is west of the Cape Verde Islands with axis near
26W, moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
confined to the monsoon trough region from 07N to 10N between 24W
and 29W.
A tropical wave extends from 02N to 15N with axis near 46W,
moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
present from 05N to 10N and between 40W and 50W.
A tropical wave is moving across western Hispaniola and the
central Caribbean. The wave axis is near 74W, south of 19N, and
moving westward at 15 kt. Isolated showers are ongoing in the
Windward Passage while scattered showers are offshore Colombia and
E Panama.
A tropical wave is moving across Central America with axis near
84W, south of 19N, and moving westward near 15 kt. Scattered
moderate convection is offshore Costa Rica and western Gulf of
Honduras.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
W Africa near 22N16W and continues southwestward to 08N31W. The
ITCZ extends from 08N31W to 07N58W. Aside from the convection
associated with the tropivcal waves, scattered moderate
convection is evident from 05N to 15N between 12W and 20W, and
from 06N to 09N west of 50W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
The Gulf is dominated by a weak ridge that supports gentle to
moderate SE winds and slight seas W of 90W, and light to gentle
winds and slight seas over the remainder Gulf. There are two
surface troughs, one extending from SE Louisiana to the SW
Florida seaboard, which is generating scattered showers over the
NE Gulf, and a second trough is in the Bay of Campeche where is
generating similar shower activity.
For the forecast, surface ridging will continue to dominate the
Gulf region the remainder of the week. Fresh to locally strong NE
to E winds will pulse off the NW Yucatan Peninsula nightly through
Sun night due to local effects associated with a surface trough.
Gentle to moderate E to SE winds will prevail across the western
half of the Gulf while moderate or weaker winds are expected
elsewhere E of 90W, except for light to gentle winds in the NE
Gulf.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The subtropical ridge north of the basin continues to force fresh
to near-gale easterly trade winds across much of the central
Caribbean. Seas in these waters are 5-10 ft. The strongest winds
and highest seas are offshore NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh
easterly breezes and moderate seas are found in the eastern
Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to
moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast, the Bermuda-Azores High north of the basin
combined with the Colombian Low will support fresh to strong trade
winds over the central Caribbean through Sun night, except
offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela where winds are
likely to reach near gale-force at night. Moderate to rough seas
are expected with the strongest winds. Otherwise, moderate to
fresh trades will continue in the eastern Caribbean while moderate
or weaker winds will prevail over the NW part of the basin.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A stationary front is across the NW waters, extending from 31N72W
to 28N79W. Scattered showers are ahead of the front to about 68W
and N of 27N. Farther east, a pre-frontal trough extends from
31N58W to 28N66W, which is generating scattered showers between
55W and 62W. The Azores High extends a ridge across the remainder
subtropical Atlantic waters. Winds across these waters are
moderate or weaker with moderate seas to 6 ft. East of 34W, a
tighter pressure gradient with lower pressures over NW Africa is
leading to fresh to locally strong NE winds along with rough seas
to 10 ft, including the Canary Islands.
For the forecast west of 55W, the stattionary front will
dissipate later today and its remnant trough will drift southward
before moving WNW toward the southeastern U.S. coast late tonight
into Thu. Under this weather pattern, moderate or weaker winds
are expected, except for moderate to fresh winds offshore
Hispaniola mainly late in the afternoons into the early evening
hours.

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
