    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sat Jul 4 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
    1030 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is just E of the Cape Verde Islands, extending
    from 05N to 17N with axis near 23W, moving W at 5-10 kt. Isolated
    showers are in the immediate vicinity of the wave axis.

    A tropical wave extends from 05N to 17N with axis near 33W, moving
    W at around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is seen from 05N
    to 12N between 28W and 41W.

    A tropical wave is in the E Caribbean, with axis south of 19N and
    near 67W, which is moving W at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted between 63W and 73W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 14N17W and continues
    southwestward to 09N30W. The ITCZ extends from 09N37W to 06N52W.
    Aside from the convection associated with the tropical waves,
    numerous moderate to strong convection is coming off W Africa and
    extends from 04N to 16N between 10W and 21W. Scattered moderate
    convection is from 05N to 13N between 44W and 50W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure extends a ridge across the western Atlantic SW
    across the SE U.S. and across the Gulf waters, anchored by a 1018
    mb high near 26N89W. This supports light to gentle winds and
    slight seas across most of the basin, except for gentle to
    moderate NE to E winds over the Bay of Campeche associated with a
    surface trough.

    For the forecast, surface ridging will continue to dominate the
    Gulf waters through the forecast period supporting gentle to
    moderate winds over the western Gulf and light to gentle winds
    over the eastern Gulf. The exception will be pulsing winds
    reaching fresh to locally strong speeds off the northwestern
    Yucatan Peninsula nightly through midweek. These winds are the
    result of local effects associated with a surface trough. Slight
    to moderate seas are expected.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between the subtropical ridge north of the
    basin and the Colombian Low continues to support fresh to strong
    easterly winds and seas of 6-10 ft in the central to SW
    Caribbean. The strongest winds and highest seas are found offshore
    NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly winds and 5-6 ft seas are
    across the E Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and
    slight to moderate seas prevail. Otherwise, the E Pacific
    extension of the monsoon continues to support numerous moderate to
    strong convection over the Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia
    offshore waters.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Atlantic
    ridge north of the basin and the Colombian Low will continue to
    support fresh to strong trade winds and moderate to rough seas
    over the central Caribbean through Wed night. Expect winds to
    reach near-gale force at night offshore of Colombia and in the
    Gulf of Venezuela from Sun through Wed. Moderate to fresh trades
    will continue in the eastern Caribbean while moderate or weaker
    winds will prevail over the NW part of the basin. Otherwise, a
    tropical wave moving across the Mona Passage this morning will
    continue to bring scattered showers and tstms to the eastern
    Caribbean through this evening and across the central basin
    through early next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A weakening frontal boundary continues to meander just north of
    the area along 31N-33N between 45W and 71W. Scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms are between the front and 27N. Similar
    shower activity is farther east within 60 nm either side of a
    surface trough that extends from 29N45W to 26N52W. Otherwise,
    the Azores High extends a ridge southwestward across the
    subtropical Atlantic waters, thus supporting moderate to locally
    fresh NE to E winds and moderate seas across much of the waters S
    of 25N. North of 25N and W of 44W, winds are moderate or weaker
    from the SSW and seas slight. Otherwise, moderate to fresh trades
    prevail between the Lesser Antilles and 43W where seas are 7-8 ft.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the Atlantic ridge will continue to
    build westward into central Florida through midweek. This pattern
    will support moderate to fresh E to SE trade winds S of 22N, and
    moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. Locally strong winds are
    likely at night N of Hispaniola and approaches to the Windward
    Passage.

    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...

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
