NOAA
Any notable tropical event can be found at the National Hurricane Center. Hover your mouse cursor over the event in question and it will give basic information such as Maximum Sustained Winds, Minimum Central Pressure, Location and Direction of movement.

Current Condition of the tropics
Current Weather Systems in the US
Understand, all tropical events are carried across the Atlantic Ocean by tradewinds- but they all will curve north in some manner as they approach North America. As they draw close, they are affected by frontal boundaries.

Water Temperatures and Interactive Maps
Remember, the temperature of the water determines if a Tropical Disturbance will develop or grow. A hurricane needs 79.9-degree water to sustain itself. It important to look at the water temperatures and the current location of a storm to determine where it travels and the projected path. This is an interactive map.

Cyclones - Spaghetti Models
Spaghetti Models are just as they sound: A bunch of lines. But what each line represents is what counts. Each line is the project path of a tropical disturbance based on different scientific models and organizations. They are taking into account factor such as existing weather patterns. They are predictions, but it is better to be safe than sorry.
Long Term Project Path of A Storm.
3-7 Day Frontal Forecast
NOAA essential 3-7 day tracking photos of USA Frontal Boundaries. It will help you understand what can make a hurricane change direction or shift paths.

Humidity Patterns
Hurricanes do not like dry air. They will try to avoid it. Darker black shades on the map indicate dryer air. Use this map to track humidity patterns over the oceans.[spacer height="20px"]
