    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Wed Jul 29 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.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is analyzed in the far E Atlantic with axis near
    19W, extending from 04N to 19N, and moving westward around 10 kt.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted from 04N to 10N between 15W
    and 21W.

    A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic with axis near 39W,
    extending from 06N to 15N, and moving westward at around 15-20
    kt. Scattered showers are noted near the wave axis.

    A tropical wave is over the E Caribbean with axis near 65W,
    extending from 10N to 19N or from northern Venezuela to near the
    Anegada Passage, and is moving westward at around 10-15 kt. No
    significant convection is depicted at the moment in association
    with this wave.

    A tropical wave is in the WW Caribbean with axis along 85W, south
    of 20N and into the far eastern Tropical Pacific Ocean, and is
    moving westward at around 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    seen S of 18N and W of 81W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near the coast of
    Mauritania at 19N16W and continues to 07N45W. The ITCZ begins
    near 07N45W and continues to 07.5N57W. Other than the convection
    associated with the tropical waves as described above, a small
    cluster of scattered moderate convection is noted from 06N to 09N
    between 42W and 48W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A surface trough is analyzed from north of Tampa Bay into the NE
    Gulf, with scattered showers near the trough axis. The remainder
    of the Gulf is under the influence of a weak 1013 mb high
    centered near 26N92W, which is supporting light to gentle
    anticyclonic winds from the Yucatan Channel to the high to near
    Galveston Bay, Texas. Moderate anticyclonic winds are closer to
    all coastal locations around the periphery of the high. Seas are
    mainly 1 to 3 ft, except locally higher near NE Mexico and SE
    Texas.

    For the forecast, a surface ridge will remain in control of the
    weather pattern across the Gulf region promoting gentle to
    moderate winds for the next several days. The exception will be
    fresh NE winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula
    nightly into the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will
    continue during the next couple of days over the NE Gulf due to
    the presence of a frontal boundary over north-central Florida.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the TROPICAL WAVES section above for information
    on associated convection. Scattered thunderstorms are also occurring
    nearshore western Jamaica.

    The pressure gradient between relatively low pressure over South
    America and the ridge is supporting fresh to locally strong
    trades over the central to SW Caribbean along with 7 to 10 ft
    seas. Winds are moderate to fresh across the eastern Caribbean and
    remainder of the SW Caribbean, where seas are moderate. Gentle to
    moderate or weaker winds prevail across the remainder of basin,
    with slight to moderate seas.

    For the forecast, the aerial extent and strength of the trade
    winds will increase from late Wed into Thu as the pressure
    gradient between the Atlantic ridge and the Colombian Low
    increases. By that time, expect fresh to strong winds and moderate
    to rough seas across most of the eastern and central Caribbean,
    with the strongest winds and highest seas offshore Colombia. Fresh
    to strong winds are expected in the Gulf of Honduras nightly from
    Wed through Fri.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A frontal trough reaches from north of the discussion waters
    through 31N71W to near Cape Canaveral, Florida. Fresh to locally
    strong SW winds are found north of 27N and east of the boundary to
    near 65W, along with 5-8 ft seas. Nearby scattered moderate
    convection is found east of the trough to near 65W to the north of
    24N. A 1024 mb high pressure near 30N45W and an associated ridge
    dominate the remainder of the subtropical Atlantic waters.
    Moderate to fresh trades can be found north of the monsoon trough
    and ITCZ to about 22N around the high, with moderate to locally
    fresh return flow west of 55W and elsewhere southeast of the
    frontal trough. Fresh to locally strong winds are near Africa to
    the Canary Islands from 17N to 27N to the east of 20W. Moderate
    or weaker winds and moderate seas dominate the remainder of the
    waters.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the Bermuda High will maintain a
    ridge farther south than usual, along 24N-25N, through Fri. This,
    in combination with a stationary frontal boundary off NE Florida,
    will force fresh to strong SW winds with scattered showers and
    thunderstorms north of 27N and west of 65W for the next several
    days. Fresh to strong trades will develop just north of Hispaniola
    and Puerto Rico from Wed through Sat.

    Marine Weather Discussion

    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.

    .GULF OF MEXICO...

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
