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
0615 UTC Thu Oct 29 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0430 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Gales and Significant Swell N of Bahamas: A tight pressure
gradient between a 1031 mb high pressure system over New England
and a stationary front extending from S of Bermuda to a 1010 mb
low just N of western Cuba is supporting fresh to near gale-force
NE winds and rough to very rough seas N of the front and W of the
low. Winds are reaching minimal gale force near 31N73W. Winds
will diminish tonight, with strong NE to E winds and rough to
very rough seas persisting N of 28N and W of 65W through Thu night
as the low pressure moves southwestward and the front weakens.
Mariners are urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine
conditions and take the necessary precautions to avoid these
affected areas.
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 reaches the Atlantic through the coast of
Africa near 14N17W and continues to 10N23W. The ITCZ extends from
10N23W to 07N58W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
convection is noted from 03N to 14N and E of 46W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A tight pressure gradient between a high pressure system over New
England and a stationary front over the offshores NE of the
Bahamas support fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough seas in
the E Gulf. W of 90W, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas
are noted.
For the forecast, fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough seas in
the E Gulf will prevail into late this week. Winds and seas will
gradually diminish into Sat as the ridge slides eastward. Another
robust high pressure system will reach New England late this
weekend and early next week allowing winds and seas to increase in
the NE Gulf. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate
seas will prevail into early next week. Looking ahead, expect
fresh SE to S winds over much of the Gulf by Mon between high
pressure over the western Atlantic and a cold front moving through
the Southern Plains.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
A weak pressure gradient is supporting gentle to moderate winds
and slight to moderate seas.
For the forecast, moderate to locally fresh trade winds in the E
Caribbean will continue over the next few days, gradually
extending westward into the south-central Caribbean through the
week and into the upcoming weekend.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the Special Features section above for information on
a Gale warning and significant swell causing very rough seas
north of the Bahamas.
Aside from the conditions mentioned in the Special Features
section above, winds are moderate or weaker, with moderate seas.
For the forecast west of 55W, the tight pressure gradient between
a high pressure system over New England and a stationary front
extending across the offshore zones N of 27N to a 1010 mb low in
the Florida Straits area of the Bahamas supports strong to gale-
force NE winds and rough to very rough seas north of the front.
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are occurring across
the offshores between 59W and 76W. Strong NE to E winds and rough
to very rough seas will persist N of 27N and W of 65W through Thu
night as the low pressure moves southwestward and the front
weakens. Looking ahead, weak low pressure will develop southwest
of Bermuda by Fri, then lift northeastward and reinforce the
frontal boundary over the waters between the northern Bahamas and
Bermuda. Expect fresh to strong NE-E winds and seas to 11 ft N of
the front through early next week.

Marine Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

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
