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 along 24W from 06N to 17N, moving west at
around 5-10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 06N
to 14N between 21W and 28W.
A tropical wave is along 42W from 07N to 18N, moving west at 5-10
kt. Scattered moderate convection is limited to the southern wave
environment, from 05N to 08N between 38W and 44W.
A tropical wave is in the W Caribbean with axis near 80W,
extending southward from 19N, and moving west at 10 kt. Scattered
moderate convection is active in the lee side of Cuba and in the
Gulf of Honduras.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 16N16W and continues
southwestward to 10N26W to 08N38W. The ITCZ extends from 07N43W
to 07N54W. Aside from the convection associated with the tropical
waves, scattered moderate convection is from 05N to 10N between
30W and 40W, and from 06N to 10N between 44W and 51W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A 1016 mb high pressure is centered near 26N86W, supporting light
to gentle winds across most of the northern Gulf N of 26N and the
SE basin. A surface trough move off the Yucatan to the Gulf of
Campeche tonight, and is supporting moderate to fresh NE to E
winds over the SW basin. Moderate SE winds is also present in the
immediate offshores of E Mexico to near 94W. Seas basin-wide are
1-4 ft. Scattered showers and a few thunderstorms are active over
the SE Gulf S of 25N and E of 89W, and in the Bay of Campeche due
to the surface trough.
For the forecast, high pressure will generally dominate,
promoting gentle winds and slight to moderate seas into the
weekend. Pulses of fresh winds will occur west of the Yucatan
Peninsula each night, locally strong Wed night, along with
moderate seas.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Fresh to strong E trade winds and 7-10 ft seas persist across the
south-central and portions of the SW Caribbean, between high
pressure north of area and lower pressure over northern South
America. Moderate E winds and 3-6 ft seas are noted in the E
Caribbean. In the NW basin, trade winds are moderate to fresh and
seas slight to moderate. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
active SE of the Dominican Republic.
For the forecast, the pressure gradient between Atlantic high
pressure and relatively lower pressure in northern South America
will continue to support strong trades, occasionally reaching near
gale, and associated rough seas, over the central basin into the
weekend. Fresh to locally strong winds will also pulse in the Gulf
of Honduras and Windward Passage. Otherwise, mainly moderate or
weaker winds and seas will prevail.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Scattered showers are active across the E Florida offshores,
including the seaboard. Farther east, a surface trough extending
from 27N61W to 20N63W is generating scattered showers and tstms
from 21N to 27N between 56W and 66W. Surface ridging prevails
elsewhere in the subtropical waters. In the far NE Atlantic,
strong to near- gale N-NE winds and moderate to rough seas are
evident off Morocco and in the water passages of the Canary
Islands. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas are
prevalent.
For the forecast west of 55W, a mid- and upper-level trough along
the SE U.S. coast will keep scattered thunderstorms ongoing
offshore Florida and in the vicinity of the Bahamas into Wed.
Locally strong trades will continue pulsing offshore Hispaniola to
near the Windward Passage. A westward moving trough will pass
north of Puerto Rico and Hispaniola Wed and Wed night, then
approach the Bahamas by late week before shifting west of the
area, bringing fresh to locally strong winds and locally rough
seas. Weak ridging settles across the northern and central waters
this weekend, bringing tranquil marine conditions.

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
