    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Fri Jul 3 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
    0503 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 21.5W, south of 16N,
    moving W at around 5 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted
    from 06.5N to 11N between 20W and 30W. Isolated scattered
    convection is found from 06.5N to 12N between the wave axis and
    27W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has been repositioned based on
    tropical wave diagnostics and visible satellite imagery and is
    now along 59W, south of 19N. Scattered moderate and isolated
    strong convection is noted from 11N to 18N between 52W and 65W.

    The western Caribbean tropical wave has moved to the eastern
    Pacific. More information about this wave can be found in the
    Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean (TWDEP).

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 18N16.5W and
    continues southwestward to 08N33W. The ITCZ extends from 08N33W
    to 06N54W. Scattered moderate convection is evident from 05N to
    12N between 28W and 51W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Weak high pressure extends from the western Atlantic southwestward
    across the SE U.S. and the northern Gulf waters, supporting
    moderate or lighter winds and slight seas across most of the
    basin, except for locally N to NE fresh winds over the eastern Bay
    of Campeche. Divergence aloft is supporting a few showers and
    isolated thunderstorms over the eastern Bay of Campeche and
    Mexican coastal waters south of Tampico. Scattered afternoon
    thunderstorms across southern Florida are moving westward and
    reaching the coasts between Tampa Bay and Naples.

    For the forecast, a weak surface ridge will dominate the basin
    through the forecast period. Fresh to strong NE to E winds will
    pulse off the NW Yucatan Peninsula nightly through early next week
    due to local effects associated with a daily surface trough.
    Gentle to moderate easterly winds will prevail across the western
    half of the Gulf while moderate or lighter winds are expected
    elsewhere E of 90W.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between the subtropical ridge north of the
    islands and the Colombian Low has tightened behind a tropical
    wave moving into the eastern Pacific. This pressure gradient is
    supporting fresh to strong easterly trade winds and seas of 8-10
    ft in the central to SW Caribbean. The strongest winds and highest
    seas are found off NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly winds
    and moderate seas are occurring in the eastern Caribbean.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas
    prevail. Convection over the eastern Carribbean can be found in
    the Tropical Waves section above. Scattered thunderstorms are
    along the monsoon trough S of 11N across the coastal waters of
    western Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica. Afternoon convection
    over Cuba has drifted southward and is now affecting the waters
    south of the island as it weakens.

    For the forecast, the aforementioned pressure gradient will
    continue to support fresh to strong trade winds and moderate to
    rough seas over the central Caribbean through Fri morning, then
    diminish slightly through the weekend. Expect winds to reach near-
    gale force each night offshore of Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela. Otherwise, moderate to fresh trades will continue in
    the eastern Caribbean while moderate or weaker winds will prevail
    over the NW part of the basin. Active showers and thunderstorms
    are expected across the SE Caribbean tonight through Fri night as
    an upper- level trough sinks across the basin.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A stationary front along about 31N, extends from 55W to a 1017 mb
    low pressure near 31.5N73W, then becomes a surface trough that
    extends from 31N74W to Freeport, The Bahamas, northern adjacent
    waters. Low level convergence south of the front, and along the
    trough are aiding in the development of scattered moderate
    convection between the NW Bahamas and SE Florida, and S of the
    front to 27.5N between 44W and 67W. A 1033 mb high pressure system
    centered NE of the Azores extends a ridge southwestward. Moderate
    to fresh easterly winds and seas of 4-8 ft are found south of 22N
    and west of 35W to the SE Bahamas. Moderate to fresh N-NE winds
    and seas of 5-8 ft are present north of 16N and east of 35W.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a surface trough, remnants of a
    stationary front, extending from a 1017 mb low near 31N73W to
    Freeport northern adjacent waters, will gradually dissipate
    tonight while drifting northwestward toward the southeastern U.S.
    coast. The Atlantic ridge will then build weakly westward into
    central Florida through early next week. This pattern will support
    moderate to fresh E-SE trade winds S of 22N, and moderate or
    weaker winds elsewhere. Expect fresh to strong winds each late
    afternoon into the early evening hours near the coasts of
    Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.

    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
