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 Thu Nov 12 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
0900 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough exits the coast of Senegal near 13N17W and
extends to 06N20W. The ITCZ extends from that point to coastal
French Guiana near 04N52W. Isolated moderate convection is located
from 07N-11N between 20W-53W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A 1014 mb low is at 28N96W along the north end of a pre-frontal
trough that reaches to 21N97W. While no significant winds are
associated with the trough, scattered moderate convection is
occurring from 21N-28N between 92W-98W. Winds across the Gulf are
moderate or weaker with seas 1-4 ft.
For the forecast, a strong cold front will reach the Texas coast
tomorrow morning, then sweep across the basin through tomorrow
night exiting the area early on Fri. A pre-frontal trough in the
western Gulf will promote fresh to locally strong N to NW winds
near Tampico and Veracruz tomorrow and Fri. Elsewhere, moderate to
locally fresh N winds are expected in the wake of the cold front.
High pressure will build southward into the region this weekend,
with increasing easterly winds as the high shifts eastward Sun.
Fresh to strong E winds are likely across portions of the northern
Gulf starting on Sun as the pressure gradient increases. Looking
ahead, a second cold front should move offshore the Texas coast
Mon morning. The strong E winds will shift to mostly the NE Gulf
Mon and Mon night as the front translates eastward across the
Gulf.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The pressure gradient between the Bermuda High north of the region
and a 1008 mb low near 10N74W is causing fresh to strong trades
over the central Caribbean with seas 6-8 ft. Elsewhere winds are
moderate or weaker with seas 2-5 ft. A trough extends from 21N84W
to 16N86W in the NW Caribbean. This is promoting scattered
moderate and isolated strong convection north of 14N west of 78W.
For the forecast, fresh to strong trades will prevail over the
central and eastern Caribbean into Thu night, with mainly moderate
winds elsewhere. The pressure gradient will diminish starting Fri
as a cold front approaches the Yucatan Channel, leading to a
weakening of the trades. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds are
likely behind this front over the northwestern Caribbean Sat and
Sun. Looking ahead, fresh to strong trades may become
reestablished over the south central Caribbean early next week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A weak cold front extends from 31N76W to 27N81W along the Florida
peninsula east coast with scattered moderate convection north of
29N between 70W-73W. Winds ahead of the cold front are fresh to
locally strong with seas 4-6 ft. Two weak frontal boundaries
extend across the subtropical north Atlantic - one from 26N66W to
31N39W and one from 21N45W to 30N10W. the former is associated
with scattered moderate convection from 21N-25N between 60W-75W.
These fronts have diminished the typical pressure gradient across
forecast waters, resulting the remainder of winds across the area
being moderate or weaker. Seas are 8-11 ft north of 20N east of
30W due to residual W swell. Elsewhere, seas are 3-7 ft.
For the forecast west of 55W, fresh to strong SW winds ahead of a
weak cold front off the NE Florida coast will diminish later
today as the front dissipates. A new stronger cold front is
expected to move off the southeastern U.S. coast Thu night
accompanied by fresh to strong winds on either side of it. The
front is expected to reach from near 31N66W to the SE Bahamas by
Sat morning, and from near 31N55W to 25N65W and stationary to
eastern Cuba by Sun morning. The cold front portion will shift
east of 55W late Sun while the stationary portion weakens. On Sun,
winds will briefly diminish below fresh over forecast waters.
Looking ahead, a building Bermuda High should increase NE winds up
to fresh to strong south of 27N west of 65W.

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
