Tropical Weather Discussion

0615 UTC Sun Apr 26 2026
Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of America, Caribbean Sea, northern sections of South
America, and Atlantic Ocean to the African coast from the
Equator to 31N. The following information is based on satellite
imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.
Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0500 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 08N13W and extends SW
to 01S30W. The ITCZ continues from 01S30W to 01S46W. Scattered to
locally numerous moderate to strong convection is noted south of
05N between Africa and Brazil.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
Weak surface ridging extends over the eastern Gulf. Fresh E winds
prevail off the northern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula and into
central portions of the Gulf, with gentle to moderate or weaker
winds elsewhere. Slight seas prevail across the basin.
For the forecast, a ridge across the Gulf waters, combined with a
coastal trough near Mexico, will support moderate to fresh SE
winds and moderate seas over the western half of the Gulf, and
gentle to moderate winds with slight to moderate seas over the
eastern part of the basin through Thu. In addition, a diurnal
trough will pulse moderate to fresh winds off the Yucatan
Peninsula during the evenings through Thu night.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
A weak pressure gradient is supporting mainly gentle to moderate E
to SE winds over the Caribbean, except for locally moderate winds
over the SE basin and in the eastern Gulf of Honduras. Slight
seas prevail across the basin. Scattered showers are occurring
over portions of the eastern Caribbean.
For the forecast, a surface trough is located north of the area
extending from 22N58W to 21N63W to just NE of the Dominican
Republic near 20N69W. This feature along with a front moving
across the NW Atlantic will continue to allow a weaker than usual
pressure gradient across the central and eastern Caribbean Sea
into Mon, thus resulting in mainly moderate or weaker winds and
slight to moderate seas, except in the Gulf of Honduras where
moderate to fresh E to SE winds will pulse due to nearly
stationary high pressure over the E Gulf of America. Winds are
forecast to reach moderate to fresh speeds over the east and
central Caribbean Mon night through Thu as high pressure builds
again N of the area in the wake of the front.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A surface trough, remnants of an old frontal boundary, extends
from 31N49W to 21N55W and then westward along the northern shore
of Hispaniola and across Cuba. This feature is supporting
scattered to isolated moderate convection. Fresh to locally
strong winds in connection to the areas of convection are
possible. Fresh winds and 8-10 ft seas are also seen on either
side of the trough N of 28N between 40-60W. Fresh to strong N
winds and locally rough seas are also seen E of 20W between 15N
and 25N. The remainder of the Atlantic is seeing moderate to
locally fresh or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast west of 55W, a surface trough extends from
22N58W to 21N63W to just NE of the Dominican Republic near 20N69W.
This feature will remain in place through Sun and gradually
dissipate by Mon. A cold front approaching from the N will
continue to support moderate to fresh SW to W winds and rough seas
to 9 ft over the NE offshore waters through Sun. Another cold
front is forecast to enter the waters off NE Florida by Sun night,
extend from near Bermuda to South Florida by Mon night, and from
31N60W to the NW Bahamas by Tue night before dissipating. Moderate
to fresh northerly winds and moderate seas are expected in the
wake of the front N of 27N.

Marine Weather Discussion

1122 AM EDT Mon May 17 2021
Marine Weather Discussion for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea,
and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W
and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas
This is the last Marine Weather Discussion issued by the National
Hurricane Center. For marine information, please see the Tropical
Weather Discussion at: hurricanes.gov.
...GULF OF MEXICO...
High pressure along the middle Atlantic coasts extending SW to
the NE Gulf will remain generally stationary throughout the
week. This will support moderate to fresh E to SE winds over the
basin through Tue. Winds will increase to fresh to strong late
Tue through Fri as low pressure deepens across the Southern
Plains.
...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
55W AND 64W...
A ridge NE of the Caribbean Sea will shift eastward and weaken,
diminishing winds and seas modestly through Wed. Trade winds
will increase basin wide Wed night through Fri night as high
pressure builds across the western Atlantic.
...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...
A weakening frontal boundary from 25N65W to the central Bahamas
will drift SE and dissipate through late Tue. Its remnants will
drift N along 23N-24N. The pressure gradient between high
pressure off of Hatteras and the frontal boundary will support
an area of fresh to strong easterly winds N of 23N and W of 68W
with seas to 11 ft E of the Bahamas late Tue through Fri.

The tropical cyclone statistics from the TWS will be found <br />on hurricanes.gov beginning with the 2025 hurricane season. This <br />change will allow for more frequent updates to the statistics and <br />the addition of graphics and links to supporting information that <br />this text only format cannot support. An account of tropical <br />cyclone names, classification (i.e., tropical depression, tropical <br />storm, or hurricane), and maximum sustained wind speed will be found <br />on hurricanes.gov at this url beginning around July 1: <br /><br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?basin=atl<br /><br />A sample webpage is provided here, with the "2023 Atlantic Summary <br />Table (PDF)" example linked below the Tropical Cyclone Reports <br />(TCRs):<br /><br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2023&basin=atl <br /><br />This information will be updated no less frequently than monthly <br />during the hurricane season and will be updated after the season's <br />TCRs are completed to document the official record of the season's <br />tropical cyclone activity. Previously, the statistics and data in <br />the TWS were based on real-time operational assessments and were <br />not updated when the season's TCRs were complete. The new <br />web-based format allows the information to be updated once the <br />post-analysis for the season is complete. <br /><br />For more information, see Service Change Notice 25-22: Migration of <br />the Tropical Weather Summary Information from Text Product Format to <br />hurricanes.gov:<br /><br />https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2025/scn25-<br />22_moving_info_from_tws_to_hurricanes.gov.pdf
