    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Tue Jul 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
    2115 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An Atlantic tropical wave is in the E Atlantic with axis near
    27.5W, extending from 089N to 18N, and moving westward at around
    15 kt. Isolated clusters of moderate convection are noted near the
    wave.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is along 57.5W, extending from 08N to
    20N, and moving westward at around 15 kt. No significant
    convection is depicted at this time in association with this wave.

    A tropical wave that was previously analyzed in the central
    Caribbean with axis along 71.5W is no longer discernible at either
    the lower or mid levels.

    A tropical wave is in the western Caribbean with axis near 81.5W,
    from 09N to 18N, and moving westward at around 15 kt. Scattered
    moderate isolated strong convection is noted from 09N to 11N
    between 77W and 83W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 16.5N16W and
    continues to 1014 mb low pressure near 11N31.5W to 10N39W to
    13N52W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is present
    near the coast of Africa, from 06N to 14N between Africa and 24W.
    Some isolated clusters of moderate convection are near the low.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    An upper level trough along the eastern seaboard of the U.S.
    extends southwestward to northern Florida, and scattered showers
    and thunderstorms from 25N to 29N and east of 87W. Scattered
    moderate convection is noted near and just offshore of Tampico,
    Mexico. A high pressure of 1017 mb is centered near 25.5N91W and
    is supporting light to gentle variable winds from the northwest to
    southeast of the high, with moderate anticyclonic winds around the
    outer periphery closer to the coasts. Seas are 1 to 2 ft near the
    high and the northwest to southeast ridging, and 2 to 4 ft around
    the outer periphery.

    For the forecast, high pressure remaining over the central Gulf
    will lead toward generally quiescent conditions for the next
    several days. The exception is NE fresh winds just northwest of
    the Yucatan peninsula nightly through the weekend. Scattered
    showers and thunderstorms will continue during the next couple of
    days over the NE Gulf due to an approaching weak cold front.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the TROPICAL WAVES section above for information
    on any convection.

    Atlantic ridging dominates north of the basin with 1010 mb low
    pressure analyzed along the northern coast of Colombia at
    10N75.5W. The pressure gradient between the two supports moderate
    to fresh trades from 11N to 18N between 68W and 80W in the central
    Caribbean, locally strong near Colombia, along with 5 to 7 ft
    seas. Winds are moderate or weaker across the remainder of basin,
    with slight to moderate seas.

    For the forecast, an increasing pressure gradient between the
    Colombian Low and high pressure north of the Caribbean will boost
    trades to strong over the S central Caribbean from tonight through
    the end of the week. Additionally, trades over the Gulf of
    Honduras will increase to fresh starting Wednesday night. A
    tropical wave moving through the E Caribbean will enhance showers
    and thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A surface ridge extending from a 1024 mb center of high pressure
    near 31.5N46 extends southwestward to across the Central Bahamas
    to the Straits of Florida. A stalled out frontal boundary is
    located from west-northwest of Bermuda to 1008 mb low pressure at
    31.5N77W to the South Carolina Lowcountry. Troughing is ahead of
    this boundary over the discussion waters, analyzed from 31N68W to
    27N79W. Moderate to fresh SW winds are found north of 27N between
    60W and 77W, along with 5 to 7 ft seas and isolated to scattered
    moderate to strong convection. A mid to upper level low is to the
    southeast, supporting scattered moderate isolated strong
    convection from 22N to 28N between 54W and 64W. No other
    significant convection is noted across the basin. Moderate to
    locally fresh trades are noted around the ridging from the Canary
    and Madeira Islands southwestward to offshore Africa and the
    waters north of the monsoon trough to about 23N and to the east of
    55W. Seas are mainly 5 to locally 8 ft across these waters. Winds
    are mainly moderate or weaker across the remainder of the waters,
    except locally fresh near northern Hispaniola, with moderate seas.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the ridge associated with the
    Bermuda High will remain farther south than usual - near 25N -
    through Fri. This in combination with a stationary front offshore
    of the Carolinas is forcing fresh to strong SW winds and scattered
    showers and thunderstorms north of 27N west of 63W for the next
    several days. Fresh to locally strong trades will develop just
    north of Hispaniola from Wed through the weekend.

    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

    .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.

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.
