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
1215 UTC Wed Oct 28 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
0925 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Significant Swell N of Bahamas: A tight pressure gradient between
a 1035 mb high pressure system over New England and a stationary
front extending from SE of Bermuda to a 1011 mb low in the NW
Bahamas supports fresh to near gale-force NE winds and rough to
very rough seas N of the front and W of the low. Peak seas are
near 17 ft N of the NW Bahamas. Scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms are occurring N of the front and S of the front
between 65W and 72W. Strong NE to E winds and rough to very rough
seas will persist N of 28N and W of 65W through Thu night as the
low pressure moves southwestward and the front weakens. Mariners
are urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine conditions and
take the necessary precautions to avoid these affected areas.
Please, see the latest NWS High Seas Forecast issued by the
National Hurricane Center at website
https:www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for further details.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic through the coast of
Guinea-Bissau near 12N16W and continues to 11N20W. The ITCZ
extends from 11N20W to 08N37W and to 08N54W. Scattered moderate
to isolated strong convection is observed from 03N to 12N and between
22W and 53W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
High pressure over New England extends a ridge across the Gulf
waters. The pressure gradient between the ridge and low pres over
the Bahamas is supporting moderate to locally strong NE winds E
of 90W. Moderate to locally rough seas are over these waters.
Gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas are found west of 90W.
For the forecast, the aforementioned pressure gradient will
continue to support fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough seas
in the E Gulf into late this week. Winds and seas will gradually
diminish into Sat as the ridge slides eastward. Looking ahead,
another robust high pressure system will reach New England late
this weekend and early next week allowing winds and seas to
increase in the NE Gulf. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and
moderate seas will prevail through the forecast period.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continues to affect
the central Caribbean waters, extending from northern Colombia to
E Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Generally dry conditions prevail
elsewhere. A weak pressure gradient allows for moderate or weaker
winds and slight to moderate seas.
For the forecast, a surface trough along 80W will drift westward
and weaken over the next couple of days. Ample tropical moisture
and upper-level divergence support scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms over the central Caribbean, especially over the
Dominican Republic. Otherwise, moderate to locally fresh trade
winds in the E Caribbean will continue over the next few days,
gradually extending westward through the week and into the
upcoming weekend.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the Special Features section above for information on
significant swell causing very rough seas north of the Bahamas.
E of 70W, the tropical Atlantic is dominated by a broad subtropical
ridge that supports moderate or weaker winds and seas of 4-8 ft.
For the forecast west of 55W, looking ahead, weak low pressure
will develop southwest of Bermuda by Fri, then lift northeastward
and reinforce the frontal boundary over the waters between the
central Bahamas and Bermuda. Expect fresh to strong NE-E winds and
seas to 10 ft N of the front through early next week.

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.

None.
.CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN

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
