    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    2230 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 28N, south of 16N, moving W at
    10-15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is noted
    from 04N to 11N between 21W and 27W.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 39W, south of 17N, moving W at
    around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is seen from 05.5N to
    11.5N between 33W and 39W.

    A Caribbean tropical wave is near 72W, south of 20N, moving W at
    at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted S of 17N
    between 66W and 74W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 12N16W and continues
    southwestward to 09N22W. The ITCZ is analyzed in two segments,
    from 08N27W to 08.5N36W, and from 09N38W to 06N55W. Aside from
    the convection associated with the tropical waves, scattered
    moderate convection is from 04N to 12N between 15W and 51W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure extends a ridge across the western Atlantic SW
    to Florida, while a weak ridge persists across the SE U.S. and
    extends south-southwestward across the north Gulf waters. This
    pattern supports light to gentle winds and slight seas across
    most of the basin, except for moderate NE to E winds along coastal
    sections of the Yucatan Peninsula associated with afternoon
    thermal trough. Convergent low level winds are leading to
    scattered showers across the SE Gulf, and scattered showers and a
    few thunderstorms across the north central Gulf.

    For the forecast, a weak surface 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 midweek. These winds are the
    result of local effects associated with a surface trough. Slight
    to moderate seas are expected.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    1025 mb high pressure is centered over the central Atlantic near
    29N37W and extends a relatively narrow ridge westward to the NW
    Bahamas and central Florida. The pressure gradient between this
    subtropical ridge and a 1010 mb Colombian Low continues to
    support fresh to locally strong easterly winds and seas of 6-9 ft
    in the central to SW Caribbean. Moderate to fresh easterly winds
    and moderate seas are across the E Caribbean, behind the tropical
    wave. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate
    seas prevail NW portions. Broad middle to upper-level low
    pressure across the western half of the basin is supporting
    scattered strong afternoon convection across Hispaniola and Cuba,
    and across the SW Caribbean south of 14N to the E Pacific
    extension of the monsoon continues, including inland over Panama,
    Costa Rica, and southeastern Nicaragua.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge
    north of the basin and the Colombian Low will continue to
    support fresh to strong trade winds and moderate to rough seas
    over the central Caribbean through midweek. The aerial extent of
    these winds will increase Sun night into Mon, and then expand
    across much of the basin east of 80W Tue through Thu as high
    pressure strengthens north of the basin. Expect winds to reach
    near-gale force at night offshore of Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela from Sun through Wed. Active thunderstorms across SW
    portions of the basin will slowly shift northward into NW portions
    Sun through Tue.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A weakening frontal boundary continues to meander just north of
    the area along 32N-33N between 56W and 74W. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms persist between the front and 27N between 53W and
    73W. Similar shower activity is farther east within 90 nm either
    side of a surface trough that extends from 30N46W to 26N53W.
    Otherwise, the Azores High extends a ridge southwestward into the
    subtropical Atlantic waters, to 1025 mb high pressure near 29N37W,
    then westward to the NW Bahamas and central Florida. This pressure
    pattern is supporting moderate to fresh NE to E winds across much
    of the waters S of 22N between 25W and 70W, where seas are
    generally 6 to 8 ft. North of 22N and W of 40W away from the
    front and surface trough, winds are moderate or weaker from the S
    to SE with seas slight.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the Atlantic ridge will build
    westward into central Florida through midweek. 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 each evening and night N of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico,
    including approaches to the Windward Passage, beginning on Sun.
    Look for winds to strengthen to fresh to strong S of 23N Tue night
    and Wed as a strong tropical wave moves approaches the region.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

    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
