    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Thu Apr 2 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
    2100 UTC.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough is now confined to on land over Africa. The
    ITCZ extends from 06N26W to 00N40W. Convection previously along
    these features has diminished over water this evening.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure over the western Atlantic extends toward the NE
    Gulf waters, supporting moderate to locally fresh SE winds and
    moderate seas. Divergence aloft is supporting scattered moderate
    convection in the Bay of Campeche as well as within 120 nm of the
    mouth of the Mississippi River.

    For the forecast, high pressure will prevail across the Gulf
    waters. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds and moderate seas are
    expected over the E Gulf through Sat night. Over the western half
    of the Gulf, moderate to fresh SE winds are forecast, except for
    strong E to SE winds off the northern Yucatan Peninsula at night.
    A cold front may enter the western Gulf Sunday with strong winds
    and rough seas expected in its vicinity. .

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Fresh to strong NE to E trades dominate waters offshore Colombia
    and in the Windward Passage, with moderate to fresh winds over
    most of the rest of the basin, except for the eastern Caribbean
    where gentle to moderate NE winds prevail. Seas are 4 to 7 ft,
    except rough seas in N swell are spilling through Atlantic
    passages.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure N
    of the area and the Colombian low will support fresh to strong
    winds and rough seas offshore Colombia through the forecast
    period. This pattern will also support fresh to strong NE winds in
    the lee side of Cuba, the Windward Passage, and south of
    Hispaniola through Thu night.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A deep layer trough that extends roughly along 60W from 20N to 27N
    is inducing numerous moderate convection from 22N to 27N between
    53W and 63W. In the far eastern Atlantic, low pressure between the
    Canary Islands and Cabo Verde Islands is causing scattered
    moderate convection within 200 nm of the coast of Western Sahara.
    A relatively tight pressure gradient between subtropical ridging
    with an axis along 35 to 40N and lower pressure toward the Equator
    is inducing widespread fresh to locally strong trades between 20N
    and 30N, with associated rough seas. To the south, moderate to
    locally fresh trades and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, strong high pressure will prevail
    across the forecast waters through the remainder of the week into
    the weekend. Fresh to strong NE to E winds, and rough to very
    rough seas, are expected across most of the offshore forecast
    waters through the remainder of the week. Winds will diminish this
    weekend with seas slowly subsiding.

    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.

    .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
