    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Thu May 7 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
    0438 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    The axis of an eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 32W, S of
    11N, moving westward at around 10 kt. Nearby convection is
    discussed in the monsoon trough/ITCZ section below.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 12N17.5W and
    continues southwestward to near 01S31W. The ITCZ is analyzed from
    00N35W to near 01S45W. Scattered moderate convection is noted S
    of 04N along both, the ITCZ and the monsoon trough.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The pressure gradient between a 1016 mb high pressure over the E
    Gulf and lower pressures over Mexico is supporting gentle to
    moderate SE winds over the western Gulf W of 87W, except for fresh
    to strong E to SE winds north of the Yucatan Peninsula. Seas W of
    87W are 3 to 6 ft. Light to gentle variable winds prevail
    elsewhere along with seas 1 to 3 ft.

    For the forecast, relatively weak high pressure over the eastern
    and central Gulf interacting with lower pressures over Mexico will
    support moderate to locally fresh southeast winds in the western
    Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds in the eastern Gulf through
    late tonight. Winds will pulse to fresh to strong near the Yucatan
    Peninsula in the evenings through Sat. A weak cold front is
    forecast to enter the NW Gulf coastal waters by Thu morning,
    quickly stall Thu evening, then lift back to the north as a warm
    front Fri into Sat as high pressure ridging builds back in across
    the basin from the east. Looking ahead, another cold front may try
    to move into the northern Gulf waters late on Sun, and reach from
    north-central Florida to eastern Bay of Campeche by late on Mon,
    followed by moderate to fresh north to northeast winds. Scattered
    to numerous showers and thunderstorms, some possibly strong to
    marginally severe, are likely to precede the fronts.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between central Atlantic high pressure and
    relatively lower pressure in northern South America will continue
    to support fresh to strong winds over the south central
    Caribbean, where seas are in the 6-8 ft range. Moderate to fresh
    winds, and seas of 3-5 ft, prevail elsewhere, except over the Gulf
    of Honduras where fresh to strong E winds prevail.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between central Atlantic
    high pressure and relatively lower pressure in northern South
    America will continue to sustain fresh to strong trades over the
    south-central Caribbean along with locally rough seas through the
    forecast period, with similar conditions expected in the Gulf of
    Honduras though diminishing there Mon. Moderate to fresh trades
    are expected across the remainder of the eastern and central
    Caribbean.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A weak cold front extends from 31N57W to 28N63W, then it becomes
    stationary from 31N57W to 28N71W. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are SE of the cold front. Gentle to moderate winds,
    and seas of 3-5 ft, prevail N of the front. Moderate winds are N
    of 29N within 60 nm east of the front. A surface trough extends
    from 22N35W to 28N34W. Moderate to fresh NE winds, and seas of
    6-8 ft are found from 23N to 30N and east of 47W. Elsewhere,
    gentle to moderate winds, and seas of 4-6 ft, prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the front is forecast to slowly
    shift east while washing out through Thu. Another front will move
    off northern Florida Thu night, gradually losing definition as it
    shifts across the northern waters through Sat. Elsewhere, winds
    may pulse to moderate to fresh off northern Hispaniola, increasing
    to fresh to strong this weekend and into early next week.
    Southerly winds are expected to freshen off northern Florida Sun
    night ahead of a stronger front that is expected to move across
    the northwest forecast waters through Mon night, followed by
    moderate to fresh northwest winds. Scattered to numerous showers
    and thunderstorms, some possibly strong to marginally severe, are
    possible ahead of both fronts. Otherwise, a high pressure ridge
    extending from near 31N56W to the Florida Keys will be in place
    during the forecast period allowing for generally quiet conditions
    across the area.

    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
