Hurricane & tropics center · Official NHC / NWS data

The tropics, without the panic graphics.

Everything here comes from the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service: the official outlook maps, every active storm's position and strength from the latest public advisory, and every tropical watch or warning on a U.S. coastline. Calm, sourced, and timestamped.

The one rule of hurricane season. Track forecasts change; official guidance rules. When the National Hurricane Center and your local emergency management disagree with a social media map, they win. This page shows their data and links to their word, and it is not an emergency alert service.
