    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Thu Jul 2 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
    2200 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave has been re-analyzed to the east, and is now
    positioned with an axis near 22W, from 02N to 16W, moving W at 5
    to 10 kt. Convection previously associated with this wave has
    diminished this evening.

    A tropical wave extends from 02N to 15N with axis near 49W,
    moving westward at 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted
    from 05N to 09N between 45W and 50W.

    A Caribbean tropical wave is along 79W, S of Jamaica, moving W at
    15 to 20 kt. No significant convection is associated with this
    wave at this time.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 22N17W and continues
    southwestward to 07N31W. The ITCZ extends from 07N31W to 09N46W
    where it is broken by a tropical wave. The ITCZ then continues
    from 07N50W to 08N59W. Aside from the convection associated with
    the tropical waves, scattered moderate convection is evident from
    06N to 10N between 55W and 60W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Scattered moderate convection is occurring near surface trough
    axes along 95W from 20N to 25N and SE from the mouth of the
    Mississippi River to around 26N85W. Otherwise, a weak pressure
    gradient is leading to light to gentle winds and slight seas
    through the basin.

    For the forecast, a ridge across the northern Gulf will continue
    to dominate the basin for the remainder of the week. A weakening
    frontal trough extending from SE Louisiana to offshore of SW
    Florida will gradually dissipate through Thu, with scattered
    showers and thunderstorms persisting along the trough. Fresh to
    locally strong NE to E winds will pulse off the NW Yucatan
    Peninsula nightly through Sun night due to local effects
    associated with a daily surface trough. Gentle to moderate E to SE
    winds will prevail across the western half of the Gulf while
    moderate or weaker winds are expected elsewhere E of 90W.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge north of the basin continues to force fresh
    to near-gale easterly trade winds across much of the central
    Caribbean. Seas in these waters are 6-10 ft. The strongest winds
    and highest seas are offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela. Moderate to fresh easterly breezes and moderate seas
    are found in the eastern Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter
    winds and slight to moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast, the Azores High extends a ridge southwestward
    across the central Atlantic to the central Bahamas this afternoon,
    and will generally remain in place through the weekend. The
    pressure gradient between this ridge and the Colombian Low will
    support fresh to strong trade winds and moderate to rough seas
    over the central Caribbean through Fri morning, then diminish
    slightly through Sun. Expect winds to reach near gale- force each
    night offshore of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela.
    Otherwise, moderate to fresh trades will continue in the eastern
    Caribbean while moderate or weaker winds will prevail over the NW
    part of the basin. Active showers and thunderstorms are expected
    across the SE Caribbean Thu night through Fri night as an upper-
    level trough sinks across the basin.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A stationary front is across the NW waters, extending from 31N71W
    to the NW Bahamas. The boundary also extends NE to the north of
    area, and convection sags S of 31N to around 29N between 50W and
    60W in association with this portion of the front. A surface
    trough along 70W E of the Bahamas is inducing scattered moderate
    convection. The Azores High extends a ridge across the remainder
    of the subtropical Atlantic waters. Winds across the waters S of
    22N are moderate to fresh with moderate seas to 6 ft. N of 22N and
    E of 35W, a tighter pressure gradient with lower pressures over
    NW Africa is leading to fresh to locally strong NE winds along
    with rough seas to 10 ft, including the Canary Islands. Moderate
    or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the Azores High extends a ridge
    southwestward across the central Atlantic to the central Bahamas
    this afternoon. A weakening stationary front is across the NW
    waters, from 31N71.5W through the NW Bahamas to the south- central
    coast of Florida. The front will gradually dissipate through Thu
    while drifting northwestward toward the southeastern U.S. coast.
    The Atlantic ridge will then build weakly westward into central
    Florida through the weekend. This pattern will support moderate to
    locally fresh E-SE trade winds S of 22N, and moderate or weaker
    winds elsewhere. Expect fresh to locally strong winds each late
    afternoon into the early evening hours near the coasts of
    Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.

    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.
