    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Sat Aug 1 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    2230 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave was added to the surface
    analysis near 20W from 04N to 20N, moving west at 10-15 kt.
    Scattered moderate convection is evident from 10N to 13N between
    16W and 20W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 44W, south of 18N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    present from 05N to 10N between 42W and 48W.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 66W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 20-25 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    occurring from 12N to 16N between 62W and 68W.

    A western Caribbean tropical wave is along 87W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. No significant convection is evident
    near this tropical wave.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Western Sahara near 23N15W and dives southward to a 1009 mb low
    pres near 15N21W and then continues southwestward to 07N45W.
    Scattered moderate convection is evident from 14N to 17N between
    55W and 60W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The western portion of the subtropical ridge extends into the
    Gulf waters, supporting moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    locally moderate seas. Divergence aloft associated with an upper-
    level trough north of the area is producing a few showers and
    isolated thunderstorms over the NE Gulf waters, mainly along the
    coast, while generally dry conditions are prevalent in the
    remainder of the basin.

    For the forecast, the surface ridge will remain in control of the
    weather pattern across the Gulf region promoting gentle to
    moderate winds for the next several days. The exception will be
    fresh NE winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula
    nightly through the period. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
    will continue over the NE Gulf through the weekend and into next
    week as an upper-level trough drops southward toward the Gulf
    states as a very moist and unstable airmass prevails over
    region. In addition, a cold front will move across the southern
    U.S. Sat night through Sun night, with fresh southwest winds
    developing ahead of it over the northern portion of the NE Gulf.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge north of the basin forces fresh to strong
    easterly trade winds and rough to locally very rough seas across
    much of the central Caribbean. The strongest winds and highest
    seas are occurring off NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly
    breezes and moderate seas are found in the eastern Caribbean.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and moderate seas prevail,
    except for slight seas in the lee of Cuba.

    For the forecast, very rough seas offshore of Colombia left
    behind the recent gale winds will slowly subside through Sat.
    Elsewhere across the central Caribbean, fresh to strong trades
    will begin to diminish in coverage beginning and through the
    weekend. Fresh trades elsewhere south S of about 18N will also
    diminish in coverage through the weekend. Fresh to strong winds
    will pulse in the Gulf of Honduras tonight, then to fresh speeds
    for the remainder of the period. A tropical wave, currently over
    the eastern Caribbean near 66W, is accompanied increasing showers
    and thunderstorms along with gusty winds. The wave will quickly
    move through the rest of the eastern Caribbean tonight and Sun
    morning, and across the remainder of the basin through Mon night.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Clusters of showers and thunderstorms are active north of 24N and
    west of 65W, along a deep layer trough reaching from 31N75W to
    South Florida. Fresh to strong SW winds are evident within 120 nm
    east of this feature, with 5-7 ft seas. Elsewhere, the remainder
    of the subtropical and tropical Atlantic is influenced by a 1026
    mb high pressure area centered near 32N52W. This pattern is
    supporting mostly moderate NE to E winds and 4-6 ft seas across
    the basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the ridge will persist along 28N
    into next week. The gradient between the ridge and a frontal
    boundary just NW of the forecast waters will continue to support
    fresh to strong SW winds along with scattered showers and
    thunderstorms north of 26N and west of 65W through the weekend.
    Fresh to strong trades will pulse just north of Hispaniola at
    night through the period.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

    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

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
