    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Mon Jun 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1420 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 30W,
    south of 16N, moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is found from 03N-08N between 25W-32W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 61W, south of
    14N, moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    found along the wave axis from 06N-10N between 59W-61W.

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean along 69W, south of
    20N, moving westward near 10-15 kt. No convection is noted at
    this time.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 18N16W and continues
    southwestward to 10N20W. The ITCZ extends from 10N20W to 05N40W to
    06N53W. Aside from the convection related to the tropical waves
    described above, no significant convection is present at this
    time.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    1019 mb high pressure is centered over the northeast Gulf near
    28N86W. A trough is over the Bay of Campeche in the far southwest
    Gulf along 92W south of 22N. Moderate S to SW winds and 3 to 5 ft
    seas are noted over the western Gulf with gentle breezes and 1 to
    3 ft seas are noted elsewhere. Various observations over southern
    Mexico including Veracruz are showing minor limitations to
    visibility due to haze.

    For the forecast, the ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf region while
    a weak cold front is forecast to reach the NE Gulf late tonight
    into Tue with little impact in winds and seas. Fresh to locally
    strong NE to E winds will pulse off the NW Yucatan Peninsula
    nightly through Fri night due to local effects associated with a
    thermal trough. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds across the western
    half of the Gulf will diminish to gentle to moderate speeds Tue
    morning and then prevail the remainder forecast period. Moderate
    or weaker winds are expected elsewhere E of 90W, except for light
    to gentle winds in the NE Gulf.

    ...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 8-10 ft. The strongest winds
    and highest seas are found off NW Colombia. 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. A few thunderstorms are active across
    Trinidad associated with a tropical wave moving into the Windward
    Islands. No significant convection is evident elsewhere.

    For the forecast, the subtropical ridge north of the basin
    combined with the Colombian Low will support fresh to strong trade
    winds over the central Caribbean through the forecast period,
    reaching near-gale speeds offshore of Colombia at night. Moderate
    or lighter winds are forecast across the remainder of the basin
    during the next several days.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An upper-level low centered north of the Leeward Islands near
    24N65W. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms remain
    active within 180 nm southeast of an associated surface trough
    extending from 26N62W to 21N67W. The remainder of the Atlantic
    discussion area is dominated by the subtropical ridge north of
    20N, interrupted only by a surface trough along roughly 45W from
    20N to 25N. This pattern is supporting moderate winds and 3-5 ft
    seas north of 20N, east of 35W. It is also supporting moderate to
    fresh trade winds farther south over the deep tropics east of 35W
    with 5-7 ft seas, except near 8 ft southeast of Barbados. In the
    far eastern Atlantic, fresh to near gale-force northerly winds and
    seas of 5-8 ft are evident north of 18N and east of 20W.
    Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas are prevalent elsewhere
    east of 35W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will dominate
    the forecast area through today. While most of the basin will
    experience moderate or weaker winds, trades just north of
    Hispaniola will freshen in the afternoons and early evenings for
    the next several days. A weak cold front will push off of the SE
    United States coast today and extend from 31N72W to the central
    Florida peninsula by Tue morning. While the front is anticipated
    to dissipate on Wed, a broad low pressure area is expected to form
    along the western end of the frontal system in the next day or
    two. Gradual development is possible while the system drifts
    southward and then westward before environmental conditions become
    less conducive later this week.

    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
