    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Sun Jul 26 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
    1700 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave has an axis along 19W from 08N to 17N, moving W
    at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noticed from 08N to
    18N and E of 22W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has an axis along 49W, from 06N
    to 22N, moving W at around 15-20 kt. Scattered showers are seen
    near the wave axis.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave has an axis along 65W, from
    the 17N65W southward into Venezuela, moving W at around 15 kt.
    Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are seen near the
    wave axis.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave has an axis along 75W, moving W
    at around 15 kt. No convection is currently associated with this
    wave.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 21N16W and continues
    to 11N42W. The ITCZ extends from 11N42W to 08N47W where it is
    broken by a tropical wave, and then resumes from 07N49W to
    06N55W. Scattered moderate convection is seen from 06N to 14N
    between 22W and 45W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A 1018 mb high pressure is centered over the Gulf near 26N87W. A
    surface trough extending off the SW FL coast near Naples is
    generating scattered moderate convection over the nearshore
    waters. A surface trough over the Bay of Campeche is generating
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the SW basin.
    Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds dominate much of the basin.
    Seas are 1-3 ft basin-wide.

    For the forecast, high pressure centered over the Gulf will bring
    gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas to the basin
    into mid-week. Pulsing fresh NE to E winds are likely each
    afternoon and evening along and just north of the Yucatan
    Peninsula beginning on Mon as a trough develops daily and drifts
    westward.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between low pressure over NW Colombia and
    the Atlantic ridge is forcing fresh to locally strong trades over
    the central to SW Caribbean, generally S of 15N, where seas are 6-8
    ft. Moderate to locally fresh easterly trade winds and 3-6 ft
    seas prevail in the eastern Caribbean as well as the Gulf of
    Honduras. Across the NW Caribbean, NE to E winds are moderate or
    weaker, with slight seas. In the SW Caribbean, scattered moderate
    convection is occurring along the coasts of Panama, Costa Rica,
    and Nicaragua, enhanced by the East Pacific monsoon trough.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Atlantic
    ridge and the Colombian low will support fresh to strong winds
    with moderate to locally rough seas across the south-central
    Caribbean today, with fresh winds in the Gulf of Honduras. The
    ridge will weaken and shift east tonight, allowing winds and seas
    to diminish over the central Caribbean into mid week. Looking
    ahead, winds and seas will increase again across the central
    Caribbean starting Wed as the ridge builds north of the area.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A pair of surface troughs in the western Atlantic are facilitating
    the development of scattered moderate convection N of 27N and W of
    65W, with more widely scattered showers and thunderstorms
    impacting the Bahamas. Moderate to fresh SW winds are seen in this
    region as well. In the central Atlantic, an upper- level trough
    is aiding in the development of scattered moderate convection NE
    of the Lesser Antilles from 16N to 22N between 54W and 60W.
    Another area of scattered showers and thunderstorms are seen along
    and near a surface trough in the central Atlantic analyzed from
    31N44W to 26N54W. Surface ridging prevails across much of the
    remaining Atlantic, supporting moderate to fresh trades and
    moderate seas across much of the basin. Scatterometer data from
    this morning indicate fresh to strong NE winds in the vicinity of
    the Canary Islands. Gentle to moderate or weaker winds and slight
    to moderate seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front will move offshore the
    SE U.S. today, then stall. SW winds will increase and seas will
    build N of 25N through the middle of the week between this front
    and the Atlantic ridge to the east.

    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.

    .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
    55W AND 64W...

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
