    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Sat Aug 1 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0430 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is analyzed along 21W from 04N
    to 19N, moving west at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    evident from 10N to 19N between 16W and 25W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 45W, south of 17N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered showers are noted in the
    wave's environment.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 66W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 20-25 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    occurring from 12N to 17N between 64W and 69W.

    A western Caribbean tropical wave is along 86W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. No significant convection is evident
    near this tropical wave.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 20N16W and dives
    southward to a 1010 mb low pres near 16N24W and then continues
    southwestward to 07N43W. The ITCZ is analyzed from 06N47W to
    06N53W. No significant convection is noted at this time.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The western portion of the subtropical ridge extends into the
    Gulf waters, supporting moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    moderate seas. Divergence aloft associated with an upper-level
    trough north of the area is producing a few showers and isolated
    thunderstorms over the NE Gulf waters, mainly along the coast,
    while generally dry conditions are prevalent in the remainder of
    the basin.

    For the forecast, the surface ridge will remain in control of the
    weather pattern across the Gulf, promoting gentle to moderate
    winds for the next several days. The exception will be fresh E to
    NE winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula
    nightly through the period. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
    will continue over the NE Gulf through the weekend and into next
    week as an upper-level trough and cold front at the surface drop
    southward toward the Gulf states. Fresh southwest winds look to
    develop ahead of the front over the far northern Gulf late this
    weekend.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge north of the basin forces fresh to strong
    easterly trade winds and rough seas across much of the central
    Caribbean. The strongest winds and highest seas are occurring off
    NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly breezes and moderate seas
    are found in the eastern Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter
    winds and moderate seas prevail, except for slight seas in the
    lee of Cuba.

    For the forecast, rough seas offshore Colombia will slowly
    subside through Sat. A persistent enhanced pressure gradient
    across the Caribbean will favor fresh to strong trades in the
    central basin through this weekend and much of next week. Fresh to
    strong winds will pulse in the Gulf of Honduras tonight, then
    diminish to moderate to fresh speeds for the remainder of the
    period. A tropical wave, currently over the eastern Caribbean near
    66W, is accompanied by increasing showers and thunderstorms along
    with gusty winds. The wave will quickly move westward across the
    remainder of the basin through Mon night.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Scattered showers and thunderstorms are active north of 28N and
    west of 70W. Fresh SW winds are evident in this area, with 5-7 ft
    seas. Elsewhere, the remainder of the subtropical and tropical
    Atlantic is influenced by a 1025 mb high pressure area centered
    near 33N50W. This pattern is supporting mostly moderate NE to E
    winds and 4-6 ft seas across the basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the high pressure ridge will lift N
    to near 28N by Sun and change little through next week. The
    gradient between the ridge and a frontal boundary just NW of the
    forecast waters will continue to support fresh to strong SW winds
    along with scattered showers and thunderstorms north of 26N and
    west of 70W through the weekend. Fresh to strong trades will pulse
    just north of Hispaniola at night through the period.

    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.

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
