    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Fri Aug 28 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
    2245 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: The remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly will
    approach waters east of the Leeward Islands Sat as a strong
    tropical wave, bringing gale conditions and very rough seas.
    Strong winds, rough seas, and thunderstorms will spread into the
    far NE Caribbean, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico late this
    weekend into early next week in association with this tropical
    wave.

    Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at website
    - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 28W, south of 16N, moving westward at
    10 to 15 kt. Only a few showers are near the wave axis.

    A tropical wave is along 48W, south of 20N, moving westward around
    15 kt. A 1009 mb low pressure, remnants of T.S. Dolly, is along
    the wave axis near 15N48W. A cluster of moderate to isolated
    strong convection is within about 150 nm NW quadrant of low center.
    Fresh to strong winds and rough seas are noted on either side of
    the wave axis per scatterometer and altimeter data covering the
    waters from 13N to 20N between 40W and 50W.

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean with axis near 78W,
    moving westward at around 20 kt. The wave appears to enhance convection
    over parts of eastern Cuba and Jamaica.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough extends from the coast of Mauritania near 18N16W
    to 10N23W to 06N34W. The ITCZ extends from 06N34W to 09N45W.
    Convection is limited.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are affecting the
    norther Gulf waters, mainly N of 26N. This convective activity
    is ahead of a surface trough, that extends from a 1014 mb low
    pressure located near 29N87W to 27N90W to 28N94W. A weak ridge
    dominates the remainder of the basin. Under this pattern, gentle
    to locally moderate winds and slight to moderate seas prevail.
    Winds and seas could be higher near thunderstorms.

    For the forecast, weak high pressure will persist across the
    Gulf waters through early next week, supporting moderate or
    lighter winds and slight seas. Winds will pulse to fresh with
    moderate seas off western Yucatan during the evenings due to a
    diurnal surface trough moving west off the peninsula each night.
    A nearly- stationary front will meander near the northern Gulf
    waters during the next few days producing a few thunderstorms.
    Mariners can expect gusty winds and higher seas associated with
    the stronger thunderstorms.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge centered SW of the Azores supports fresh to
    strong easterly trade winds and rough seas in the south-central
    Caribbean. Moderate to fresh easterly winds and moderate seas
    are found in the eastern Caribbean, Gulf of Honduras and Windward
    Passage. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    moderate seas prevail. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
    occurring in the SW Caribbean.

    For the forecast, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly will
    approach waters east of the Leeward Islands Sat as a strong
    tropical wave, bringing gale conditions and very rough seas.
    Strong winds, rough seas, and thunderstorms will spread into the
    far NE Caribbean, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico late this
    weekend into early next week in association with this tropical
    wave. Otherwise, the pressure gradient between high pressure
    north of the basin and lower pressure over South America will
    support strong trades and rough seas over the south-central
    Caribbean this weekend. These winds will diminish some early next
    week as the aforementioned tropical wave disrupts the pressure
    gradient, but will increase again by the middle of next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A Gale Warning is in affect in association the remnants of Dolly.
    Please, refer to the Special Features section for more details.

    Scattered showers, with embedded thunderstorms, dot the waters
    between Bermuda and the Bahamas, particularly N of 22N and W of
    65W. A diffluent pattern aloft is helping to induce this
    convective activity. A ridge dominates the remainder of the
    Atlantic forecast waters, anchored on a 1029 mb high pressure
    located SW of the Azores near 36N32W. The ridge supports moderate
    to locally fresh easterly winds and moderate seas across much of
    the SW North Atlantic. Aside from the winds and seas associated
    with the remnants of Dolly, fresh to strong northerly winds and
    moderate to rough seas are evident N of 20N and E of 18N to the
    coast of W Africa, including the Canary Islands. Moderate to
    locally fresh winds and moderate seas prevail elsewhere under the
    influence of the ridge.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the strong tropical wave associated
    with the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly will bring strong
    winds, rough seas, and thunderstorms across the waters S of 22N
    as it approaches the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico late this
    weekend and spreads toward Hispaniola early next week. Elsewhere,
    the subtropical ridge will dominate the SW N Atlantic waters
    over the next several days supporting mainly moderate or weaker
    winds and moderate seas. Winds will pulse to locally strong off
    northern Hispaniola each night.

    Tropical Weather Outlook
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    800 PM EDT Fri Aug 28 2026

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

    East of the Leeward Islands (Remnants of Dolly):
    A tropical wave, the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, are located
    several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. Redevelopment
    of this system is unlikely while it moves westward to
    west-northwestward near 25 mph. The wave could bring locally heavy
    rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, the
    Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico over the next several days.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

    Northeastern and North-Central Gulf of America:
    Disorganized cloudiness and showers over portions of the
    northeastern and north-central Gulf of America are associated with
    a weak area of low pressure. Development, if any, of this system
    is expected to be slow while it remains nearly stationary for the
    next several days.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

    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
