257 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
0355 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
Liberia near 06N11W and continues southwestward to 00N23W. The
ITCZ extends from 00N23W to 03N43W. Scattered moderate convection
is south of 06N and east of 29W.
GULF OF AMERICA...
A broad subtropical ridge over the eastern Gulf waters supports
fresh easterly winds and moderate seas off northern Yucatan.
Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas
prevail. Dry weather conditions dominate the basin.
For the forecast, high pressure centered over the eastern Gulf will
maintain gentle to moderate SE winds and slight to moderate seas
across the western Gulf, and light to gentle breezes over the
eastern Gulf into late week. A trough over the Bay of Campeche
will support occasional moderate to fresh winds off the northern
and western coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula mainly at night
through mid-week.
CARIBBEAN SEA...
A weak surface trough in the central Caribbean supports a few
showers southeast of Jamaica. A subtropical ridge centered north
of the Caribbean sustains fresh to strong NE-E winds and seas of
4-7 ft across the north-central Caribbean, including the Windward
Passage, and also in the lee of Cuba. Elsewhere, moderate or
weaker winds and slight to moderate seas are prevalent.
For the forecast, building high pressure over the western Atlantic
will support fresh to locally strong NE winds south of Cuba, the
Windward Passage, and just south of Hispaniola into Mon night.
Looking ahead, fresh to strong winds and moderate to rough seas
will develop offshore Colombia Tue through Fri, mainly at night,
as the high pressure moves slightly eastward.
ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A cold front extends from 1008 mb low pressure near 36N52W to
eastern Puerto Rico. Satellite scatterometer data indicates strong
to near-gale force SE winds north of 25N and east of the front to
48W. North of 26N and west of the front to 60W, fresh to strong
NW winds are evident on satellite scatterometer data. Seas are
8-13 ft north of 21N between 49W and 67W. In the rest of the SW
North Atlantic, a subtropical ridge dominates sustaining moderate
or weaker winds and moderate seas.
In the eastern Atlantic, a weakening 1000 mb low pressure
centered west of the Canary Islands forces fresh to strong N-NW
winds and rough to very rough seas north of 23N and east of 30W.
N-NW swell support rough seas in the eastern Atlantic and central
Atlantic trade waters. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and
moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast west of 55W, fresh to strong winds and rough seas
on either side of the front north of 27N will continue to affect
the offshore waters from west to east into early Mon as the front
moves slowly eastward. The cold front is forecast to move into the
central Atlantic Mon through Tue while gradually dissipating.
Looking ahead, a new cold front is forecast to enter the offshore
waters between northeast Florida and Bermuda Mon night into Tue,
followed by fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough to very rough seas.
These marine conditions are forecast to affect most of the waters
north of 28N into mid-week before the front lifts northward.

Marine Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
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.

None.
.CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN

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
