Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Wed Aug 26 2026

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

Eastern Tropical Atlantic (AL96):
An area of low pressure, associated with a tropical wave, is located 
several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands.  
Showers and thunderstorms associated with this system have slightly 
improved in organization over the last several hours. However, 
recently received satellite wind data suggests that the circulation 
is not yet well-defined. Environmental conditions are somewhat 
favorable for development over the next couple of days, and a 
tropical depression could form within the next day or two as the 
system moves westward to west-northwestward near 20 mph across the 
eastern and central tropical Atlantic.  However, environmental 
conditions are expected to become less conducive by this weekend, 
potentially ending its chances for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
