    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sun Jul 5 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0930 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 23W/24W from 04N-16N, and is moving west
    at 15 kt. Convection is described in the Monsoon trough/ITCZ
    section below.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 33N, south of 16N, moving W at
    15 kt. Convection is described in the Monsoon trough/ITCZ section
    below.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 43W, south of 17N, moving W at
    around 15 kt. Convection is described in the Monsoon trough/ITCZ
    section below.

    A Caribbean tropical wave is near 75W, south of 20N, moving W at
    at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 12N to 17N
    between 65W and 75W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 16N16W and continues
    southwestward to 10N20W. Segments of the ITCZ extend from 10N20W
    to 08N23W, from 08N25W to 08N32W, from 07N35N to 08N42W, and from
    08N44W to 07N58W. Scattered moderate convection is active from
    05N to 12N between 25W and 55W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The subtropical ridge extends along roughly 27N from the western
    Atlantic, across the Florida peninsula, and across the northern
    Gulf to the coast of Texas. Farther south, a weak trough is
    positioned over the Yucatan Peninsula. This pattern is supporting
    fresh NE winds off the west coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, as
    noted in a recent scatterometer satellite pass. Gentle to
    moderate breezes are observed elsewhere. Seas are generally 1-3
    ft across the basin. A few showers and thunderstorms are active
    over the eastern Gulf at the base of an upper trough that extends
    over the Mississippi River valley.

    For the forecast, the subtropical ridge will continue to dominate
    the Gulf waters through the forecast period supporting gentle to
    moderate winds over the western Gulf and light to gentle winds
    over the eastern Gulf. The exception will be pulsing winds
    reaching fresh to locally strong speeds off the northwestern
    Yucatan Peninsula nightly through Thu. These winds are the result
    of local effects associated with a surface trough. Slight to
    moderate seas are expected basin-wide.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge extending north of the area across the
    western Atlantic is supporting moderate to fresh trade winds
    across the eastern and central Caribbean, with strong E winds
    noted off northeast Colombia and northwest Venezuela, as confirmed
    in a recent scatterometer satellite pass. The scatterometer also
    indicated fresh E winds off the coast of Honduras and into the
    Gulf of Honduras. Gentle to moderate breezes are noted elsewhere.
    Seas are 5-7 ft over the eastern and central Caribbean, and 3-5 ft
    elsewhere except 1-3 ft in the far northwest Caribbean.
    A mid to upper level trough extends from the western Atlantic
    across eastern Cuba and Jamaica, and toward Nicaragua. Upper level
    divergent flow along with convergent lower level trade wind flow
    is supporting scattered showers and thunderstorms off northeast
    Nicaragua.

    For the forecast, the pattern will continue to support fresh to
    strong trade winds and moderate to rough seas over the central
    Caribbean through Thu night. The aerial extent of these winds will
    increase tonight into Mon. Expect winds to reach near-gale force
    at night offshore of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela from
    today through Thu. Moderate to fresh trades will continue in the
    eastern Caribbean while moderate or weaker winds will prevail over
    the NW part of the basin, except in the Gulf of Honduras where
    fresh to strong ESE winds are forecast at night Mon and Tue.
    Otherwise, a tropical wave, with axis along 74W will continue to
    generate scattered showers and thunderstorms over the central
    Caribbean waters today.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    The subtropical ridge dominates the Atlantic north of 20N, and is
    anchored by 1022 mb high pressure centered near 27N42W. A few
    showers and thunderstorms are active along a dissipating
    stationary front that extends from 1016 mb low pressure near
    25N52W to Bermuda to 31N75W. The pattern is supporting gentle to
    moderate breezes and 3-5 ft seas along and west of the ridge axis,
    and moderate to fresh NE to E trade winds and 5-8 ft seas east
    and south of the ridge axis.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will
    continue to build westward into central Florida through Thu. This
    pattern will support moderate to fresh E to SE trade winds S of
    22N, and moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. Locally strong winds
    are likely at night N of Hispaniola, including approaches to the
    Windward Passage, beginning today.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    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.

    .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be
    coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by
    telephone:

    .GULF OF MEXICO...
    None.

    .CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
