Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
200 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 several hundred miles west-southwest of
the Cabo Verde Islands. Some gradual development of this system is
possible during the early to middle part of this week while it
moves 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:
Another tropical wave is expected to move off the west coast of
Africa early this week. Environmental conditions are forecast to
be conducive for gradual development thereafter, and 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...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.
