    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
    1055 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: A strong tropical wave, remnants of Dolly,
    is along 53W, south of 21N, moving westward at 20-25 kt. Numerous
    showers and thunderstorms are occurring from 14N to 21N and
    between 50W and 57W. Strong to gale-force winds are found in the
    northern semicircle, along with rough to very rough seas, peaking
    around 13 ft (4 m). This tropical wave will approach the waters
    east of the Leeward Islands late today as a strong tropical wave,
    with winds expected to diminish to 25-30 kt by then, below gale
    conditions. Strong winds with gusts to gale-force, rough seas,
    accompanied by squalls and thunderstorms will spread into the far
    NE Caribbean, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico and the adjacent
    waters Sat evening into early next week in association with this
    tropical wave.

    Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at website
    - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 32W, south of 16N, moving westward at
    around 15 kt. No significant convection is noted near this wave.

    A tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean, along 67W, south
    of 17N, moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted from 13N to 18N between 64W and 70W.

    A tropical wave is over the western Caribbean, along 81W, south
    of 21N, moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms are evident in SW Caribbean.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 21N16W to 08N31W. The ITCZ extends from 05N35W to
    10N52W, then resumes from 10N56W to 09N60W. Scattered moderate
    convection is present near the monsoon trough in the eastern
    Atlantic.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A weak low pressure system in the northern Gulf waters and
    divergence aloft are producing scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms over much of the basin east of 90W. Moderate to
    locally fresh easterly winds and seas of 2-4 ft are noted in the
    Bay of Campeche, while weaker winds and slight seas prevail
    elsewhere.

    For the forecast, a weak area of low pressure over the northern Gulf
    waters is producing scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms.
    These storms may produce gusty winds and higher seas. This system
    is expected to remain nearly stationary over the next several
    days. The low pressure has a low chance of tropical development
    over the next 48 hours and 7 days. Elsewhere, a weak pressure
    gradient will support moderate or lighter winds and slight seas
    over much of the basin through the middle of next week. Winds will
    pulse to fresh with moderate seas off western Yucatan during the
    evenings due to a diurnal surface trough moving west off the
    peninsula each night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A Gale Warning is in affect in association the remnants of Dolly.
    Please, refer to the Special Features section for more details.

    High pressure north of the area forces fresh to strong easterly
    winds and rough seas across the south-central Caribbean. Moderate
    to fresh easterly breezes and moderate seas are found in the
    north-central and eastern Caribbean and also in the Windward
    Passage. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast, a strong tropical wave, associated with the
    remnants of Dolly, is producing a large area of showers and
    thunderstorms a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands.
    This system will also bring gale conditions and rough to very
    rough seas to the area east of the Lesser Antilles today. Strong
    winds, rough seas, and thunderstorms will spread into the far NE
    Caribbean, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico tonight into early next
    week. Otherwise, the pressure gradient between high pressure
    north of the basin and lower pressure over South America will
    support strong trades and rough seas over the south-central
    Caribbean this weekend. These winds will diminish some early next
    week as the aforementioned tropical wave disrupts the pressure
    gradient, but will increase again by the middle of next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A Gale Warning is in affect in association the remnants of Dolly.
    Please, refer to the Special Features section for more details.

    Scattered showers, with embedded thunderstorms, are found across
    the waters between Bermuda and the Bahamas, particularly west of
    65W. Converging middle level winds and a diffluent pattern aloft
    are helping to induce this convective activity.

    A ridge dominates the remainder of the Atlantic forecast waters,
    anchored on a pair of surface highs north of our waters. The ridge
    supports moderate to locally fresh easterly winds and moderate
    seas across much of the forecast waters south of 26N and west of
    35W. Farther east, fresh to strong NE winds and moderate to rough
    seas prevail N of 18N and E of 24N to the coast of west Africa,
    including the Canary Islands. Primarily moderate winds and
    moderate seas prevail elsewhere to 35W, under the influence of the
    ridge.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a strong tropical wave, associated
    with the remnants of Dolly, is producing a large area of showers
    and thunderstorms a few hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands.
    This system will also bring strong winds and rough to locally
    very rough seas to the SE waters today. These conditions will
    spread into the far NE Caribbean, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico
    tonight into Mon and toward Hispaniola early next week. Elsewhere,
    abundant moisture and an unstable atmosphere generate scattered
    to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms west of 65W.
    Similar conditions are expected through early next week. At the
    surface, the subtropical ridge will dominate the basin supporting
    mainly moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas in the remainder
    of the forecast waters. However, winds will pulse to locally
    strong off northern Hispaniola through Sun night.

    Tropical Weather Outlook
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    800 AM EDT Sat Aug 29 2026

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

    East of the Leeward Islands (Remnants of Dolly):
    Showers and thunderstorms have increased this morning in
    association with the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolly, located
    several hundred miles east of the Leeward Islands. However, there
    are no signs that the system is developing a closed circulation.
    Redevelopment of this system is unlikely while it moves westward to
    west-northwestward near 25 mph. The wave could bring locally heavy
    rains and gusty winds to portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin
    Islands and Puerto Rico over the next several days.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

    Northeastern and North-Central Gulf of America:
    Disorganized cloudiness and showers over portions of the
    northeastern and north-central Gulf of America are associated with a
    weak area of low pressure centered about 100 miles south-southwest
    of Pensacola, Florida. Development, if any, of this system is
    expected to be slow while it drifts westward for the next few days.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

    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.
