96 Visitors Tracking The Tropics!
PLEASE SUPPORT TRACK THE TROPICS
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
0550 UTC.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
A tropical wave is has come off the coast of West Africa. Its axis
extends from 03N to 12N and along 16W, moving westward at 5 kt.
There is no significant convection associated with it at this
time.
A tropical wave is along 29W, south of 10N, moving westward at 15
to 20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is observed from 03N to
10N between 25W and 35W.
A tropical wave is along 41W, south of 11N, moving westward at
around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is in the southern
portion of the wave and near the ITCZ from 02N to 06N between 38W
and 47W.
A tropical wave is in the central Caribbean Sea near 77W, south
of 19N, moving westward at around 15 kt. The wave is interacting
with an upper level low center to its W, producing scattered
moderate convection from 14N to 19N between 70W and 81W.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
West Africa near 12N16W, and continues southwestward to 08N19W.
The ITCZ extends from 07N20W to 05N26W, then west of a tropical
wave from 04N31W to 04N37W, then west of a second tropical wave
from 04N42W to 03N51W. See the tropical waves section for
information about convection.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
High pressure located over the central Atlantic extends a ridge
across Florida and into the eastern Gulf region. This system is
supporting moderate to fresh E to SE winds west of 90W, and in the
SE Gulf. Seas basin-wide are slight to moderate.
For the forecast, a ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf
region through Fri supporting gentle to moderate east to southeast
winds over the eastern Gulf, and moderate to locally fresh winds
in the western Gulf. Slight to moderate seas will prevail. A
trough, or low pressure may emerge from the Yucatan Peninsula into
the south central or southwestern portions of the Gulf, perhaps
from late Thu through Fri night accompanied by numerous showers
and thunderstorms along with fresh to strong winds and building
seas. Elsewhere, a diurnal trough will move off the Yucatan
Peninsula and into the eastern Bay of Campeche at night through
Wed attendant by fresh to strong winds and slight to moderate
seas.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The gradient between Atlantic high pressure and relatively lower
pressures over Central America is maintaining moderate to fresh
trade winds across the the majority of the basin along with mostly
moderate seas. A tropical wave moving across the central and
portions of the SW Caribbean is generating some showers across the
region. Elsewhere, patches of low level clouds, embedded in the
trade wind flow, are noted producing isolated to scattered passing
showers.
For the forecast, as the pressure gradient tightens further
between the Atlantic high pressure and a broad area of low
pressure located over the eastern Pacific offshore of Central
America this will likely lead to an increase of the trade winds to
fresh to strong speeds starting early Mon evening in the central
and northwestern sections of the basin, and lasting through the
rest of the period. Trade winds of fresh speeds are expected over
the eastern section of the basin starting Wed night. The trade
winds in the northwestern part of the basin are expected to become
fresh to strong, predominately southeast in direction, beginning
on Wed as a trough, or low pressure may shift northward or
northwestward from the Yucatan Peninsula into the south-central or
southwestern portions of the Gulf of America.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please refer to the Tropical Waves section for details including
any related significant convection.
A surface trough extends from 28N72W to the central Bahamas.
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are near the trough
axis. The remainder of the Atlantic forecast area is dominated by
a broad subtropical ridge, anchored by a 1033 mb high pressure
situated SW of the Azores. Under the influence of this system, a
gentle to moderate E to SE flow is seen N of 20N E of the trough
to about 48W. Fresh to locally strong NE to E winds and rough seas
are found north of 20N and east of 44W, including the Canary
Islands. The strongest winds are between the islands. Moderate to
fresh trades and moderate seas to 7 ft are elsewhere S of 20N
between the coast of Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
For the forecast west of 55W, the trough will remain nearly
stationary through the early part of the week. A weak cold front
will move across the N waters Tue, then stall near 27N through
Wed, gradually dissipating by Thu. High pressure in the wake of
the front will shift eastward north of the area through the end of
the week while weakening, with the associated ridge extending
toward southeastern Georgia. The related pressure gradient will
generally allow for gentle to moderate winds and slight to
moderate seas. Moderate to fresh east winds are expected between
the southeastern Bahamas and Hispaniola, and westward to the
waters between the Bahamas and Cuba beginning late Wed night.
Increasing moisture resulting in unsettled weather conditions is
likely to impact the far western section of the basin during the
week.

Marine Weather Discussion for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea,

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.

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.
