TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK from NOAA
- Updated real time ****
Hurricane models key Codes
TOP
Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Sun Aug 9 2026
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
Central Tropical Atlantic:
A broad area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a
tropical wave is located about midway between the coast of west
Africa coast and the Lesser Antilles. Some gradual development of
this wave is possible during the early to middle part of this
week while it moves quickly westward across the central tropical
Atlantic. Upper-level winds are expected to become less conducive
for development later in the week when the system approaches the
Lesser Antilles.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic:
A small area of low pressure has formed a few hundred miles south of
the Cabo Verde Islands. This system is forecast to move slowly
westward and merge with a tropical wave in a couple of days, and
environmental conditions are forecast to be more conducive for
development by midweek. A tropical depression could form during the
latter half of this week while the system moves westward to
west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
Western Subtropical Atlantic:
A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles west-northwest
of Bermuda is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm
activity. Some development of this system is possible during the
next couple of days while it moves quickly eastward, well to the
north of Bermuda across the western and central subtropical
Atlantic. The system is forecast to reach cooler waters later this
week, ending its chances of formation after Wednesday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.
