Atlantic Hurricane Tracking 2026

Heavy rain is affecting Central America, including southeastern Mexico near Chiapas, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Belize, Costa Rica, and Panama, with risks of flash flooding and landslides. Jamaica, the Cayman Islands, eastern Cuba, and the Bahamas are also experiencing ongoing heavy rainfall and thunderstorms. The Gulf of Mexico currently has mild winds and calm seas, with light winds near the northern Gulf, though moderate winds and slightly rougher seas are present offshore southern Texas. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico and near the Florida Straits for the next couple of days, along with a cold front approaching the northeastern Gulf later this week. Across the Caribbean Sea, most areas enjoy fair weather, except for scattered showers in the Leeward Islands and active showers and thunderstorms in the western Caribbean near the Yucatan Peninsula and northwest Caribbean. In the Atlantic Ocean, the remnants of Tropical Depression Fay continue to bring breezy conditions and rough seas northeast of the Lesser Antilles, while scattered showers and thunderstorms affect the Leeward Islands and nearby waters. Overall, boating and beach activities should be cautious in areas with ongoing or forecast heavy rain and thunderstorms, particularly in the western Caribbean and parts of Central America.
