    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1000 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is analyzed along 21.5W from
    04N to 20N, moving west at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is evident from 10N to 17N and E of 25W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 46W, south of 16N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is seen
    from 06N to 09N between 40W and 49W.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 66.5W from Puerto Rico
    southward, moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is occurring from 15N to 18N between 66W and 70W.

    The northern portion of a western Caribbean tropical wave is
    along 87W, south of 18N, 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 22N17W and dives
    southward to a 1010 mb low pres near 16N24W and then continues
    southwestward to 07N50W. No ITCZ is analyzed at this time.
    In addition to the convection described in the Tropical Waves
    section above, scattered moderate convection is occurring from 08N
    to 11N between 48W and 53W.

    ...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, a 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 coast. Moderate to 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 as well as the Gulf of Honduras. 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. A divergent
    pattern aloft supports scattered moderate convection across the
    waters near the Windward Passage as well as offshore of SW Cuba
    and Jamaica.

    For the forecast, rough seas offshore Colombia will gradually subside
    today. 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 67W, is
    accompanied by 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 27N and
    west of 74W. Fresh SW winds are evident in this area, with 5-7 ft
    seas. East of the Lesser Antilles, a surface trough is generating
    scattered moderate convection along 60W from 15N to 18N. Another
    surface trough in the central Atlantic is interacting with a
    divergent pattern aloft to produce widely scattered moderate
    convection across a large region from 20N to 29N between 52W and
    72W. 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 moderate to fresh NE to E
    winds and 4-7 ft seas across much of the basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a high pressure ridge extending
    from the central Atlantic to the Straits of Florida will lift N to
    near 28N by Sun and change little through next week. The pressure
    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.

    .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be
    coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by
    telephone:

    .GULF OF MEXICO...
    None.

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
