    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    2230 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is W of the Cape Verde Islands near 30W,
    extending from 03N to 17N, and moving W at around 15 kt.
    Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are seen from 06N to
    11N between 29W and 34W.

    A tropical wave is across the eastern Caribbean, south of 19N,
    moving W at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection
    is noted from 10N to 16N between 61W and 70W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 16.5N16.5W and
    continues southwestward to 08N34W. The ITCZ extends from 08N34W
    to 05.5N54W. Aside from the convection associated with the
    tropical waves, scattered moderate convection is evident within 60
    nm N and 120 nm S of the ITCZ between 34W and 54W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure extends a ridge across the western Atlantic SW
    across the SE U.S. and to the central Gulf waters, anchored by a
    1019 mb high in the central Gulf. This supports light to gentle
    winds and slight seas across most of the basin, except for gentle
    to moderate E to SE winds over the Bay of Campeche associated with
    a surface trough. Aside from the moderate winds, the surface
    trough in the Bay of Campeche is generating scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms in the SW Gulf, while scattered showers
    extend across the NE Gulf.

    For the forecast, a weak surface ridge 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 early next week. Slight to
    moderate seas are expected through the period.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Abundant tropical moisture accompanying the tropical wave along
    65W has encountered favorable upper level conditions produce by an
    elongated middle to upper-level low pressure just N of the Greater
    Antilles to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms across
    much of the eastern Caribbean east of 70W. This upper level
    feature is also supporting strong scattered afternoon convection
    across Hispaniola and Cuba. The pressure gradient between the
    subtropical ridge north of the basin and the Colombian Low
    continue to support fresh to strong easterly winds and seas of
    8-11 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
    away from areas of convection associated with the tropical wave
    near 65W. Seas are 4 to 6 ft there. Elsewhere, moderate or
    lighter winds and slight to moderate seas prevail. The E Pacific
    extension of the monsoon continues to support scattered strong
    convection over the waters near the coasts of Costa Rica and
    Panama.

    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 Tue night. 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
    accompanying the tropical wave along 65W. The wave and its
    associated moisture will reach Hispaniola and the central
    Caribbean waters on Sat.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A weakening frontal boundary continues to meander just north of
    the area along 32N-33N between 57W and 73W. A surface trough,
    remnants of a stationary front, extends from a 1018 mb low
    pressure near 32N73W to the SE FL coast. Scattered showers and
    a few thunderstorms are seen along and near the trough axis, while
    scattered showers and thunderstorms previal across much of the
    central and northwestern Atlantic between the stalled front and
    27N, from 46W to 72W, and focused along another surface trough
    from 31N66W to 29N60W to 30N56W. A middle to upper-level low
    north of the Dominican Republic is also aiding in the development
    of strong scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across
    Hispaniola and Cuba. Otherwise, the Azores High extends a ridge
    southwestward across the subtropical Atlantic waters, thus
    supporting mainly moderate to fresh trades and moderate seas
    across much of the waters S of 20N. Fresh to locally strong trades
    prevail across areas from 10N to 15N between 50W and the Lesser
    Antilles, where seas are 6 to 8 ft. Gentle to moderate trades and
    3-6 ft seas prevail across much of the remaining Atlantic.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a surface trough across the NW
    waters to SE Florida will gradually dissipate tonight while
    drifting northwestward toward the southeastern U.S. coast. The
    Atlantic ridge will then build westward into central Florida
    through early next week. This pattern will support moderate to
    fresh E to SE trade winds S of 22N, and moderate or weaker winds
    elsewhere.

    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
