    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Tue Aug 4 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
    2305 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 36W, south of 20N,
    moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. No significant convection is
    depicted at this time in association with this wave.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 71W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 15 kt. The wave is enhancing convection over
    Venezuela and Colombia.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 21N16W and continues southwestward to 08N49W.
    The ITCZ extends from 08N49W to 09N59W. Scattered moderate to
    isolated strong convection is noted from 05N to 11N E of 20W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Divergence aloft associated with an upper-level trough north of
    the area continues to generate some convection over the northern
    and eastern waters. However, the most favorable environment for
    showers and thunderstorms has moved eastward into the western
    Atlantic. A weak pressure gradient dominates the Gulf waters,
    supporting moderate or weaker winds and slight to locally
    moderate seas.

    For the forecast, high pressure will generally dominate, promoting
    gentle winds and slight seas through the remainder of the week and
    into the upcoming weekend. Pulses of fresh winds will occur of
    the Yucatan Peninsula each night, locally strong Wed night, along
    with moderate seas. Thunderstorms will prevail into mid-week in
    the northeast basin as a cold front settles over the Florida
    Panhandle and a mid- and upper-level trough sets up over the
    region.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge is centered just east of Bermuda forcing
    fresh to strong easterly trade winds and rough seas across much
    of the central Caribbean. An altimeter satellite pass from a few
    hours ago showed seas up to 10 ft off northern Colombia. Moderate
    to fresh easterly breezes and moderate seas are occurring in the
    eastern Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter seas prevail.

    An upper-level trough north of the area and diurnal heating
    support numerous showers and scattered thunderstorms across Cuba
    and nearby waters. A few showers are seen in Hispaniola and the
    SW Caribbean, while drier conditions persist in the rest of the
    basin.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between Atlantic high
    pressure and relatively lower pressure in northern South America
    will continue to support fresh to strong trades over the central
    basin through the remainder of the week and into next weekend,
    with rough seas there. Fresh to locally strong winds will also
    pulse in the Gulf of Honduras. Fresh winds may pulse through the
    Windward Passage at times. Otherwise, mainly moderate or weaker
    winds ands seas will prevail.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Divergence aloft associated with an upper-level trough across the
    eastern United States supports scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms in the western Atlantic, especially west of 72W.
    Meanwhile, an upper-level low centered near 27N55W is producing a
    few showers north of 22N and between 43W and 70W. The remainder
    of the basin is dominated by a broad subtropical ridge.

    Fresh to locally strong easterly trade winds and moderate seas
    are found off northern Hispaniola. Moderate to locally fresh
    anticyclonic winds and moderate seas are evident north of 20N and
    west of 30W. In the far NE Atlantic, fresh to strong N-NE winds
    and moderate to locally rough seas are evident off Morocco and in
    the water passages of the Canary Islands. Elsewhere, gentle to
    moderate winds and moderate seas are prevalent.

    For the forecast west of 55W, fresh SW winds offshore NE Florida
    will continue tonight before diminishing as high pressure builds
    west toward the region. An upper-level trough along the eastern
    coast of the U.S. will prolong scattered thunderstorms offshore
    Florida and in the vicinity of the Bahamas early this week.
    Elsewhere, locally strong trades will continue to pulse each
    night offshore Hispaniola. A low level trough may bring fresh to
    locally strong winds and locally rough seas from east to west
    across the central waters by mid-week, reaching the NW waters by
    the end of the week.

    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

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
