    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Wed Jul 8 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1647 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Sea Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between central
    Atlantic high pressure and lower pressures over northern South
    America will support fresh to near gale trades over the central
    Caribbean for the next several days. Winds will pulse to gale-
    force at night off Colombia, except on Thu and Sun. Gale-force
    winds are also expected in the Gulf of Venezuela Fri night and Sat
    night. Seas are expected to peak around 14 ft Sat.

    Please refer to the latest NWS High Seas Forecast at website:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 30W from
    03N to 15N, and is moving westward at about 15 kt. Scattered
    moderate convection noted from 06N to 09N between 27W and 35W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 55.5W south
    of 17N, and is moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. No significant
    convection is depicted at the moment in association with this
    wave.

    An eastern Caribbean Sea tropical wave is along 67W south of 18N.
    It is moving westward at 15 kt. No significant convection is
    depicted at the moment in association with this wave.


    A western Caribbean Sea tropical wave has now moved into the
    Eastern Pacific. For more information about this tropical wave,
    please read the Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern
    Pacific Ocean (TWDEP).

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic ocean near 21N17W and
    continues southwestward to 07N35W, where it transitions to the
    ITCZ to 02N50W. Scattered moderate convection is depicted from 02N
    to 08N between 36W and 42W. Similar convection is well south of
    the trough from 06N to 11N between the coast of Africa and 21W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Relatively weak high pressure is extending westward across the
    basin from the Atlantic. The associated pressure gradient is
    generally allowing for light to gentle variable winds north of
    24N and for gentle to moderate easterly winds south of 24N,
    except for mostly moderate winds in the Bay of Campeche. Seas are
    of slight state, except for moderate state seas in the Bay of
    Campeche. Meanwhile, an upper-level low and mid-level trough over
    the western Bay of Campeche is acting on a very unstable and
    moisture- laden atmosphere. This has lead to the development of
    numerous showers and thunderstorms over much of the west- central
    and southwestern portions of the basin, south of about 26N and
    west of 93W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also present
    north of 26N between 86W and 91W.

    For the forecast, the aforementioned relatively weak high
    pressure will change little through Thu night, then shift
    northward to near the northern Gulf coast Fri through Sat night.
    The weather pattern will support gentle to moderate east to
    southeast winds across the Gulf south of about 26N, and light to
    gentle southeast to south winds north of about 26N. The exception
    will be fresh to strong northeast to east winds offshore the
    Yucatan peninsula at night due to the diurnal trough that moves
    westward from the Yucatan peninsula. A mid to upper- level low
    acting on a very unstable and moisture- laden atmosphere will
    generate scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the
    SW Gulf, with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
    elsewhere across the basin south of about 28N through Thu.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
    gale conditions offshore Colombia and over the Gulf of Venezuela.

    The pressure gradient between central Atlantic high pressure and
    lower pressures over northern South America is bringing fresh to
    near gale trades over the central Caribbean. Seas with these winds
    are 8 to 11 ft. Moderate to locally fresh east winds and seas of
    4 to 5 ft are in the Gulf of Honduras while fresh to strong
    northeast winds are funneling into the Windward Passage. Seas
    there are also 4 to 6 ft. Elsewhere, mostly fresh trades are over
    the basin, except for gentle to moderate winds over the NW
    Caribbean. Seas are 6 to 8 ft south of 18N and east of 83W and 3
    to 5 ft elsewhere. Upper divergence is helping to sustain
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the Gulf of
    Honduras.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between central Atlantic
    high pressure and lower pressures over northern South America will
    support fresh to near gale trades over the central Caribbean for
    the next several days. Winds will pulse to gale-force at night off
    Colombia, except on Thu and Sun. Gale-force winds are also
    expected in the Gulf of Venezuela Fri night and Sat night. Trades
    over the Gulf of Honduras will pulse to fresh to strong speeds in
    the late afternoons and evenings through the weekend. A fast-
    moving tropical wave should reach the Lesser Antilles this
    evening, bringing fresh to strong trades over the eastern
    Caribbean Thu through Fri night. Scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms may accompany this wave.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An expansive subtropical ridge axis is roughly along 27N, anchored
    by a 1025 mb high center at 26N44W. The pressure gradient between
    this ridge and lower pressures in the deep tropics is producing
    fresh to strong trades south of about 24N and between 63W and 78W.
    Seas of 5 to 7 ft are with these trades. Farther east, moderate to
    fresh trades along with seas 5 to 8 ft prevail south of a line
    from 28N23W to 21N48W to 23N78W. North of that line, light to
    gentle winds prevail along with seas 3 to 5 ft. Elsewhere,
    moderate or weaker winds and seas of about 4 to 6 ft remain. An
    upper level trough north of the Hispaniola and Puerto Rico is
    supporting numerous showers and thunderstorms south of 23N between
    64W and 72W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure ridging near 27N will
    change little through Thu, then shift slightly north afterward.
    The weather pattern will support moderate to fresh trades south of
    23N, and light to gentle winds north of 23N, except north of 29N
    where moderate to fresh south to southwest winds will prevail.
    Strong winds along with moderate to rough seas are expected at
    night north of Hispaniola, including approaches to the Windward
    Passage through the weekend.

    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.
