    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Sun Jun 21 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
    1656 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 28.5W from
    03N to 16N. It is moving westward at around 15 kt. Scattered
    moderate convection is from 02N to 09N between 25W and 33W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 43.5W from
    02N to 17N moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Isolated moderate
    convection is depicted from 00N to 08N between 40W and the wave
    axis.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave has its axis along 66W south
    of 19N to inland Venezuela. It is moving westward at 15 to 20 kt.
    Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are east of the axis
    in the vicinity of the Windward Islands.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic ocean near 15.5N17W,
    and continues southwestward to 07N27W and to near 05N43.5W, where
    it transitions to the ITCZ to near 06N52W. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted from 04N to 08N between 33W and 38W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A ridging stretches westward from the western Atlantic to across
    Florida and to the central Gulf. The pressure gradient between the
    ridge and the relatively lower pressures over Texas and
    northeastern Mexico has induced moderate to fresh southeast winds
    west of about 90W along with seas of 4 to 6 ft. Elsewhere, light
    to gentle winds prevail along with seas of 2 to 4 ft. Scattered
    moderate convection is noted over the NW Gulf, north of 26.5N and
    west of 91W.

    For the forecast, relatively weak high pressure will prevail
    across the NE Gulf for much of the week. The pressure gradient
    between the high pressure and relatively lower pressures over
    Texas and northeastern Mexico will maintain mostly fresh southerly
    winds over the western and central Gulf through late Mon night
    before diminishing to gentle to moderate speeds. Slight to
    moderate seas will be with these winds. Light winds along with
    slight seas will be over the eastern Gulf through Thu night as a
    new high center becomes situated over the central Gulf.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Tropical Waves section above for convection
    across the basin.

    Broad high pressure is north of the basin over central Atlantic.
    The pressure gradient between the high pressure and lower
    pressures in northern South America will continue to generally
    allow for fresh to locally strong trade winds across the central
    Caribbean and the western Caribbean. Seas over the south-central
    basin waters are 6 to 10 ft. Seas are 4 to 6 ft south of 21N and west
    of 83W. Moderate to locally fresh trade winds are elsewhere along
    with seas of 5 to 7 ft, except for gentle to moderate east to
    southeast winds and seas of 3 to 4 ft over the waters south and
    east of Cuba to near 21N. An area of scattered to numerous
    moderate to strong convection is confined to the southwestern
    section of the sea south of 14N and west of 77W, primarily due to
    the eastern segment of the East Pacific monsoon trough that
    reaches into that part of the basin.

    For the forecast, high pressure will prevail north of the area
    into next week. The pressure gradient between the high pressure
    and the Colombian low will support fresh to strong trade winds and
    moderate to rough seas in the central Caribbean through the
    forecast period. The trade winds are expected to increase to near
    gale across the central portion of the basin over a large area
    south of 15N, including along the coast of Colombia and in the
    Gulf of Venezuela starting Mon night through Tue night as Atlantic
    high pressure shifts southeastward. Seas are expected to build to
    around 13 ft with these winds. Pulsing fresh to strong winds and
    moderate to rough seas are expected in the Gulf of Honduras
    nightly well into the upcoming week. Moderate to fresh winds are
    expected over much of the remainder of the Caribbean through the
    middle portion of next week. A tropical wave currently in the
    eastern Caribbean will move across the rest of the basin through
    late Wed, with scattered showers and thunderstorms expected mainly
    east of the wave.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Broad high pressure that is anchored by a 1024 high center at
    28N45W covers the area north of about 18N. The related pressure
    gradient between the high pressure and relatively lower pressure
    over the tropical Atlantic are supporting moderate to locally fresh
    trade winds and moderate seas across most of the Atlantic south
    of about 23N along with seas 4 to 8 ft. Gentle to moderate
    variable winds are north of 23N and west of 35W along with seas
    of 3 to 4 ft. Upper-level jet dynamics along the southeastern
    periphery of a broad upper trough that is along the U.S. east
    coast are sustaining an area of scattered showers and
    thunderstorms north of 27.5N between 65W and 78W. A broad mid to
    upper-level low has helped to induce an area of multilayer clouds
    with embedded patches of rain over the waters northeast of the
    Lesser Antilles, roughly from 17N to 30N between 50W and 58W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a weak high pressure ridge along
    26N will shift slightly south today, and change little through Thu
    night as surface troughing lingers near and offshore Florida.
    Moderate to fresh trade winds south of 24N will pulse to strong
    speeds between the Turks and Caicos and Hispaniola through the
    forecast period.

    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.
