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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1000 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A 1000 mb low pressure area is
located near 28N58W. The low continues to produce scattered to
numerous heavy showers and thunderstorms over the E semicircle of
the low, from 20N to 31N between 38W and 62W. The low is forecast
to move generally east-northeastward over the central subtropical
Atlantic during the next couple of days. Recent satellite
scatterometer data showed a broad band of near-gale to gale force
NE to E winds of 30 to 40 kt occurring in the NE quadrant within
240 nm of the low center. Seas of 8 to 16 ft occurring within the
area of gales and convection. Gale-force winds and very rough
seas in excess of 12 ft are expected to continue to the north of
this low center as it moves over parts of the central subtropical
Atlantic through Sun.
Please read the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National
Hurricane Center at website:
https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 08N13W and extends SW
to 07N19W. The ITCZ extends from 07N19W to 04N51W. Scattered
showers prevail along the ITCZ.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A stationary front extends from south Florida to 23N90W where it
weakens to 25N97W. Gentle to moderate NE to E winds are ongoing E
of 90W while moderate to fresh ESE winds are W of 90W, except for
light to gentle winds in the Bay of Campeche. Seas are 1 to 4 ft
basin-wide.
For the forecast, the frontal boundary will weaken today and
dissipate by late Mon. Moderate to fresh winds will prevail behind
the front. High pressure will then build across the area, with
winds diminishing to gentle to moderate. The next cold front will
move into the NW Gulf on Thu, followed by freshening winds and
building seas.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
A weak pressure gradient due to the low in the Special Features is
supporting moderate or weaker winds and 3 to 4 ft seas basin-wide.
Otherwise, a line of scattered heavy showers and tstms is moving
across the NE Caribbean to the same low pres system. Scattered
showers prevail offshore E Honduras and NE Nicaragua due to a
lingering surface trough.
For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the basin will
result in moderate or weaker trade winds, along with slight to
moderate seas, through Mon. Winds will strengthen over the
central Caribbean by Tuesday and prevail through the week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the Special Features section for information on a Gale
Warning.
Aside from the low in Special Features, a stationary front
extends from 31N72W to 26N80W. Gentle to moderate NE to E winds
prevail in the vicinity of the front with slight seas. To the E of
the Special Features low, a cold front extends from 31N15W to
28N41W where it transitions to a warm front to 32N52W. Scattered
moderate convection is ahead of the front N of 20N to the NW coast
of Africa. Strong to near gale-force SW winds are ahead of the
front where seas are 8 to 12 ft, while fresh to strong NNW winds
follow the front E of 35W, where seas are 11 to 15 ft. South of
the Special Features low, winds are fresh to strong to 20N between
45W and 62W, and seas are rough to 12 ft.
For the forecast west of 55W, the low pres in the Special Features
will continue to move east-northeastward through midweek. An area
of strong to gale-force winds, and rough to very rough seas,
peaking near 16 ft, will prevail north of the low, impacting the
waters mainly north of about 28N and east of 65W through today.
Elsewhere, a weakening front over the NW waters will dissipate
today.

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
