Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Fri Jul 17 2026

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

Northern Gulf of America and near Florida:
Showers and thunderstorms over the eastern Gulf of America and 
portions of the Florida Peninsula are associated with an upper-level 
low and a surface trough. Surface observations indicate that 
pressures are high in the area and that currently there are no signs 
of a surface circulation. However, some gradual development of this 
system is possible while it meanders northward, bringing heavy rain 
to portions of the Florida west coast during the next several days. 
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
A broad area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, is 
located near the western Cabo Verde Islands.  The low is producing 
limited and disorganized showers and thunderstorms while it moves 
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.  Environmental conditions are 
becoming less conducive, and development of this system is no longer 
anticipated. However, this system will likely produce some gusty 
winds and locally heavy rain over the Cabo Verde Islands tonight.   
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.
