    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Mon Jul 27 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
    0800 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is in the E Atlantic with axis across the Cabo
    Verde Islands near 25W, extending from 09N to 18N, and moving W
    at 10-15 kt. Isolated clusters of moderate convection are noted
    near the wave.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is along 54W, extending from 09N to
    21N, and moving W at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    along the southern end of the wave from 05N to 09N between 52W and
    57W, and across the N end of the wave from 16N to 21N between 57W
    and 61W.

    A tropical wave is in the central Caribbean with axis along 71W
    southward from 18N into Venezuela, and moving W at 15 kt.
    Scattered moderate convection is observed S of 12.5N near the
    wave axis.

    A tropical wave is in the SW Caribbean with axis near 78W, from
    18N southward to E Panama, and moving W at 15 kt. Widely scattered
    moderate convection is noted S of 14.5N between 78W and 82.5W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 14.5N17W and
    continues to 11N39W. The ITCZ extends from 11.5N40W to 06N57.5W.
    Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is along the coast
    of Africa from 05.5N to 13.5N E of 19W. Similar convection is present
    from 08N to 11.5N between 29W and 36W, and from 08N to 12.5N
    between 45W and 51W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    An upper level trough along the eastern seaboard of the U.S.
    extends southwestward to northern Florida, and supports a surface
    trough across the NE Gulf along 29.5N into the Florida Big Bend.
    Scattered showers and an isolated thunderstorms area south of this
    surface trough and along the W coast. Narrow lines of moderate
    convection extend SW to NE across the Straits of Florida.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted across the SW Bay of
    Campeche, ahead of the Yucatan trough shifting westward off the
    peninsula. High pressure of 1017 mb is centered near 25N88W and
    is supporting light to gentle variable winds, except gentle to
    moderate W to NW winds along the northern Gulf coastal and
    immediate offshore waters. Moderate to locally fresh E winds are
    also ongoing in the Bay of Campeche associated with a surface
    trough that is coming off the Yucatan peninsula. Seas are 3 to 4
    ft ahead of this Yucatan trough, and 3 ft or less elsewhere.

    For the forecast, high pressure will meander about the central Gulf
    and weaken through Wed, leading to gentle to moderate winds and
    slight to moderate seas. The high will then reorganize over the SE
    Gulf Thu through Fri. Pulsing fresh NE to E winds are likely each
    afternoon and evening along and just north of the Yucatan
    Peninsula as a trough develops daily and drifts westward. Looking
    ahead, showers and thunderstorms are expected to become active
    across the NE Gulf Wed afternoon through Thu as a frontal boundary
    sinks to just N of the area.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The Atlantic ridge extends westward along 24N-25N, to the north of
    the basin, and is supporting only fresh trade winds and seas of
    5-7 ft across the central Caribbean S of 16N. Moderate or weaker
    winds and slight to moderate seas prevail elsewhere. An upper
    level low is centered just N of the Virgin Islands, and
    supporting convection described above over the Atlantic, just
    ahead of an approaching tropical wave. Scattered heavy showers
    area across much of the NE Caribbean E of 67W.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the western Atlantic
    ridge along 24N-25N and the Colombian low will support fresh to
    locally strong trade winds with moderate to locally rough seas
    across the south-central Caribbean S of 15N through Tue, with
    fresh winds in the Gulf of Honduras. The ridge will strengthen N
    of the basin Tue night through Fri, leading to increasing winds
    and seas across central and west-central portions.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A surface ridge extending from a 1024 mb center of high pressure
    near 32N42W extends southwestward to near 25N67W, and then
    westward to the Straits of Florida. To the N of 27N and west of
    67W, scattered moderate isolated strong convection is occurring
    ahead of a stalling cold front along 31.5N and offshore of the
    Carolinas. Moderate to locally fresh SW to S winds prevail ahead
    of the front are moderate to fresh from the SW extending to 63W
    and N of 27N. Elsewhere N of 22N and W of 40W, moderate or
    lighter winds and moderate seas prevail. Across the tropical
    Atlantic S of 22N moderate to locally fresh trade winds prevail,
    with seas of 4-7 ft. 1024 mb high pressure near the Azores is
    promoting moderate to fresh NE to E winds from the Canary Islands
    to 40W, where seas are 6 to 8 ft.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the current ridge in place from the
    Central Atlantic to the Straits of Florida will persist through
    Tue. Expect fresh to strong SW winds and moderate to rough seas
    across the northern waters, mainly N of 28N, most of the week as
    sinking frontal boundaries remain just to the north of area. The
    Atlantic ridge will building modestly westward and into the
    central Bahamas Tue night through Fri.

    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.

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.
