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 Fri Nov 13 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
0830 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
North-Central Atlantic Gale Warning: a strong cold front is moving
off the northeast Florida coast this morning accompanied by fresh
to strong winds on either side of it. The front is expected to
reach from near 31N66W to the southeastern Bahamas by Sat morning,
and from near 31N55W to 25N65W and stationary to eastern Cuba by
Sun morning. Ahead of the front, SW winds will reach gale- force
over the waters north of about 29N late tonight into Sat. 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 extends from 13N16W to 07N20W. The ITCZ
extends from 07N20W to 04N30W to 04N50W. Scattered moderate
convection is active from 04N to 07N between 20W and 50W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A cold front extending from central Florida to northern Mexico.
Gentle to moderate winds, and slight to moderate seas are north of
the front. Fresh to strong winds and moderate to rough seas are
off Veracruz in the far southwest Gulf. Light to gentle winds, and
slight seas, prevail elsewhere.
For the forecast, the front will rapidly shift across the rest of
the basin move SE of the area today. Fresh to locally strong
northwest to north winds will prevail near Tampico and Veracruz
through early today. Elsewhere, moderate to locally fresh north
winds are expected in the wake of the cold front. High pressure
will build southward into the region this weekend, with fresh to
strong easterly winds across portions of the northern and central
Gulf. Another cold front is expected to push off the Texas coast
Mon morning, and quickly move across the basin through Tue night.
Fresh to strong winds will follow the front across much of the
basin. Winds to near gale- force are possible in the far NE Gulf
early next week.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Fresh to strong winds, and moderate seas, prevail over the waters
east of 75W. Light to gentle winds, and slight to moderate seas,
are noted elsewhere. A surface trough extends from western Cuba to
the Gulf of Honduras. Numerous moderate and scattered strong
convection is within 240 nm east of the trough, also impacting
portions of central Cuba.
For the forecast, fresh to strong trades over the central and
eastern Caribbean will diminish by Sat. A cold front will enter
the NW waters today. Moderate to fresh northeast to east winds are
likely behind this front over the northwestern Caribbean Sat
through Sun. Trade winds may strengthen again over the south
central Caribbean early next week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A cold front from 31N79W to 29N81W is accompanied by fresh to
strong winds and moderate to rough seas on either side of the
front, generally west of 60W. A surface trough extends from the
NW Bahamas to western Cuba. Numerous moderate and scattered strong
convection is ahead of the trough, generally S of 29N east of the
front to 66W. Farther east, high pressure generally prevails,
anchored by a 1024 mb high centered near 32N39W. Light to gentle
winds cover the waters north of 26N between 35W and 48W. Fresh
winds are found over the waters south of 15N between 35W and 60W.
Gentle to moderate winds cover the remainder of the discussion
waters. Seas are mainly moderate across the discussion waters,
except reaching locally rough west of the cold front.
For the forecast west of 55W, the front is expected to reach from
near 31N66W to the southeastern 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
night while the stationary portion weakens. Ahead of the front, SW
winds will reach gale- force over the waters north of about 29N
late tonight into Sat. Winds will briefly diminish below fresh
speeds over the forecast waters on Sun. A building Bermuda High
will tighten the pressure gradient and support fresh to strong
northeast winds south of 27N west of 65W Mon and Mon night. The
fresh to strong winds will expand northward in coverage Tue and
Tue night.

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
