Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook
000ABNT20 KNHC 140528TWOAT Tropical Weather OutlookNWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL200 AM EDT Fri Aug 14 2026For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:Central Tropical Atlantic (AL92):Showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave located about 650 miles east of the Lesser Antilles have continued to become less organized. This system is moving into a region of increasing upper-level winds and dry air, and the possibility of development is decreasing. Regardless of development, interests in the Lesser Antilles should continue to monitor the progress of this system since gusty winds and areas of heavy rain are possible across these islands Friday night and Saturday.* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL94):A tropical wave located several hundred miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are forecast to be generally conducive for gradual development, and a tropical depression could form late this week or this weekend while the wave moves westward or west-northwestward across the eastern and central tropical Atlantic.* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.$$Forecaster Beven

  • Tropical Storm Hernan Forecast Discussion Number 5
    Issued at 800 PM PDT Thu Aug 13 2026 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 140232 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Hernan Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082026 800 PM PDT Thu Aug 13 2026 Convection associated with Hernan has fallen apart during the past several hours, with only some cirrus debris clouds near the center, though there is a large area of thunderstorm well to the northeast. Assuming some spin down of the winds from an earlier scatterometer pass, the initial intensity is set to 35 kt. Gradual weakening is anticipated due to continued strong shear, though it could be offset somewhat by the system moving across warmer waters. No significant changes were made to the intensity forecast, which is near the consensus. Models suggest no deep convection will occur after 24 hours, so remnant low status is indicated thereafter. Hernan remains headed slowly southward as a low-level ridge builds between Tropical Storms Hernan and Lala. Hernan should turn gradually southwestward and westward due to the ridge between the tropical cyclones weakening and the large-scale eastern Pacific high providing a more westward steering current. The latest guidance is faster and a bit south of the last cycle, and the official forecast is adjusted in that direction. The global models show the cyclone opening up into a trough in about 3 days, close to the time the remnants enter the Central Pacific.
