    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Mon Jul 6 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
    0930 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 33W S of 17N, moving W at 10 to 15 kt.
    Convection is described in the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ section below.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 41W and S of 18N, moving W at
    10 to 15 kt. Convection is described in the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ
    section below.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 50W south of 19N, moving W at
    around 15 kt. Convection is described in the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ
    section below.

    A Caribbean tropical wave is near 79W, south of 19N, moving W at
    at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is active from 09N to
    20N between 80W and 87W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 20N16W to 10N20W.
    Segments of the ITCZ extend from 10N22W to 08N32W, from 06N33W to
    06N40W, from 07N42W to 07N50W, and from 07N52W to 06N57W.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted within 240 nm on either
    side of the ITCZ and west of 25W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The subtropical ridge extends across the Florida Peninsula and
    across the northern Gulf to the coast of Texas. A surface trough
    reaches from Mobile Bay, Alabama to Tampa, Florida. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are active off the western Florida Panhandle along
    this trough. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also active over the
    southeast Gulf, under divergent flow aloft. Farther south, a weak
    trough is positioned over the Bay of Campeche. This pattern is
    supporting fresh NE winds off the west coast of the Yucatan
    Peninsula, as noted in a recent scatterometer satellite pass.
    Gentle to moderate breezes are observed elsewhere. Seas are
    generally 1-3 ft across the basin.

    For the forecast, surface ridging is forecast to prevail across the
    basin through the forecast period, thus supporting gentle to
    moderate winds over the western half of the Gulf, except for
    locally fresh to strong ENE winds offshore the Yucatan peninsula
    at night. Locally moderate or weaker winds are forecast for the
    eastern half of the Gulf while mainly slight seas are forecast
    basin-wide.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge extending north of the area across the
    western Atlantic is supporting moderate to fresh trade winds
    across the eastern and central Caribbean, with strong E winds
    noted off northeast Colombia and northwest Venezuela. Seas are
    7-10 ft over the south-central Caribbean in the area of strongest
    trade winds, and 6-7 ft elsewhere east of 80W. A recent
    scatterometer satellite pass indicated fresh to strong easterly
    winds across the Gulf of Honduras, likely related to scattered
    showers and a few thunderstorms active in that area, associated
    with divergent flow aloft on the east side of an upper low
    centered over the Yucatan Peninsula. Seas across the Gulf of
    Honduras are 4-6 ft, and 2-4 ft elsewhere over the northwest
    Caribbean.

    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 the weekend. The aerial
    extent of these winds will continue to increase today as the
    Atlantic ridge continues to build westward. By Wed, the fresh to
    strong winds are expected to extend across most of the east,
    central and SW Caribbean. Expect winds to reach near-gale force at
    night offshore of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela through
    Fri. Moderate or weaker winds will prevail over the NW part of the
    basin, except in the Gulf of Honduras where fresh to locally
    strong E to SE winds are forecast at night through the forecast
    period.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    The Atlantic subtropical ridge dominates the Atlantic north of
    20N, and is anchored by 1025 mb high pressure centered near
    29N39W. The pattern is supporting gentle to moderate breezes and
    3-5 ft seas along and west of the ridge axis, and moderate to
    fresh NE to E trade winds and 5-7 ft seas east and south of the
    ridge axis. Upper divergent flow is supporting a few showers and
    thunderstorms from 25N to 30N 45W and 70W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the Atlantic subtropical ridge will stay
    in place through the forecast period, developing a center of high
    pressure E of the Bahamas by Fri. This pattern will continue to
    support moderate to fresh E to SE trade winds S of 23N, and
    moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. Locally strong winds, with
    moderate to rough seas are expected at night north of Hispaniola,
    including approaches to the Windward Passage, through Fri night.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

    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.

    .CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN

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
