For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:
Central Subtropical Atlantic:
A trough of low pressure located about 900 miles east-southeast of
Bermuda continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions over the system are forecast to become more
conducive for development by the middle of this week. A tropical
depression could form late this week as the system moves slowly
west-northwestward over the subtropical Atlantic.

Tropical Depression Norbert Forecast Discussion Number 22
Issued at 500 PM HST Mon Sep 14 2026 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 150232 TCDEP4 Tropical Depression Norbert Discussion Number 22 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142026 500 PM HST Mon Sep 14 2026 Deep convection has decreased dramatically in association with Norbert over the past several hours. A fairly recent Oceansat scatterometer pass and a Dvorak classification from TAFB indicate that the system has dropped below tropical storm strength, and the advisory intensity is reduced to 30 kt. Norbert is moving a little north of west with an initial motion estimate of 285/13 kt. The cyclone should move mainly westward within the flow south of a low- to mid-level subtropical ridge for the next couple of days. The official track forecast is close to the latest corrected model consensus, HCCA, guidance. The system should remain in an environment of strong vertical wind shear and relatively dry and stable air for the next few days. Therefore, the cyclone is expected to become post-tropical within 24 hours and then open up into a trough by Wednesday. Now that Norbert is in the Central Pacific, additional information on this system can be found under Central Pacific basin headers beginning with the next advisory at 1100 PM HST. Future Tropical Cyclone Discussions will be issued under AWIPS header HFOTCDCP1 and WMO header WTPA41 PHFO.

Tropical Depression Fifteen-E Forecast Discussion Number 6
Issued at 800 PM PDT Mon Sep 14 2026 280 WTPZ45 KNHC 150234 TCDEP5 Tropical Depression Fifteen-E Discussion Number 6 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP152026 800 PM PDT Mon Sep 14 2026 Visible satellite imagery continues to show the exposed center of Tropical Depression Fifteen-E well to the west of the convective area, due to westerly vertical wind shear of 10 to 15 kt affecting the system. In fact, the center has ran out farther ahead to the west of the convection compared to earlier today, now about 40-45 n mi from the nearest deep convection. The latest subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates range from 29-35 kt. An earlier ASCAT-B overpass at 14/1630 UTC showed peak vectors of 27 kt located 60 to 80 n mi from the center in the eastern semicircle. The initial intensity is held at 30 kt since the tropical cyclone has not become any better organized since the time of the ASCAT pass. Satellite fixes over the past 12 to 18 hours have been a bit erratic, but generally indicate a motion slightly south of due west, or 260 degrees at 9 knots. Ridging to the northwest of the depression should keep it on a similar heading for the next couple of days. By late Wednesday, global models show the orientation of the ridge changing slightly, which should cause the depression to turn to a direction between west and west-northwest with a slight increase in forward speed for the remainder of the forecast period. The latest NHC track forecast is a bit south of the previous one, and lies between the farther north TVCN and the farther south HCCA and GDMI. It should be noted that the cross track spread is quite large from hour 24 onward, and confidence in the track forecast is below average. The environment is generally unfavorable for significant strengthening due to the moderate northwesterly vertical wind shear advecting some dry air into the center of the depression. Even though this shear should decrease some over the next 24 h, the intensity models are in good agreement that this system is unlikely to strengthen beyond a low-end tropical storm. Given how far any convection is from the center currently, and that the system should start weakening in a couple of days as it reaches a drier environment, significant intensification appears unlikely. The depression could potentially become post-tropical or dissipate sooner than this forecast indicates.
