    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Fri Jul 10 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
    2245 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the central
    Atlantic high pressure and lower pressures over northern South
    America will support strong to near gale-force northeast to east
    trades over the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of
    Venezuela into the weekend. Winds are forecast to pulse to gale-
    force off the coast of Colombia and the Gulf of Venezuela Fri
    night and again Sat night. Seas are expected to peak around 14 ft
    off Colombia Sat night.

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

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 41W south of
    15N, moving westward at 10-15 kt. No significant convection is
    occurring near the wave.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 68W south of 19N,
    moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
    are occurring across the southern half of the wave.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave is analyzed along 77W from 19N
    southward, moving westward around 10-15 kt. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are noted across the southern half of the wave.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 19N16W and continues southwestward to 10N24W,
    where it transitions to the ITCZ to 10N39W. It resumes at 09N43W
    to 05N52W. Aside from the convection related to the tropical
    waves, no significant convection is noted with the boundaries at
    this time.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Scattered moderate convection is ongoing along a surface trough
    running from the Bay of Campeche to the W Gulf. Surface ridging
    prevails elsewhere, anchored by a 1020 mb high centered near
    29N85W. The weather pattern will support gentle to moderate east
    to southeast winds south of 26N east of 94W, and light to gentle
    southeast to south-southwest winds north of 26N. Light and
    variable winds are south of 26N west of 94W.

    For the forecast, the weather pattern will change little through
    the weekend, then shift slightly southeastward afterward.
    Occasional fresh to strong northeast to east winds will pulse offshore
    the Yucatan peninsula at night. The convection over the western
    Gulf will persist into tonight.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
    gale conditions offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela
    later this week and weekend.

    The pressure gradient between ridging over the Atlantic and lower
    pressures over northern South America continues to support fresh
    to strong trades and rough seas across much of the central to SW
    Caribbean, as well as through the Windward Passage. Moderate to
    fresh trades and moderate seas prevail in the eastern Caribbean
    and the Gulf of Honduras. Gentle to moderate or weaker winds and
    2-5 ft seas prevail elsewhere. Scattered moderate convection is
    ongoing across the SW Caribbean, enhanced by the eastern extension
    of the East Pacific monsoon trough. Scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms are also occurring over the waters between
    Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti.

    For the forecast, winds will pulse to gale-force off Colombia,
    and 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 early next week. A tropical
    wave in the eastern Caribbean is accompanied by scattered showers
    and isolated thunderstorms. This activity will continue near the
    tropical wave as it moves rapidly across the central and western
    Caribbean the next couple of days.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A weak stationary front segment runs along 30/31N between 33W and
    43W. No notable convection or changes in marine conditions are
    occurring. Surface ridging prevails across much of the tropical
    and subtropical Atlantic, with moderate to fresh trades and
    moderate seas prevailing across areas S of 22N and W of 35W.
    Strong trades are seen along the northern coast of Hispaniola and
    into the Windward Passage, as well as from 02N to 08N between 40W
    and the Lesser Antilles. An area of fresh to strong winds from
    the NE is occurring N of 20N and E of 25W between a stronger
    pressure gradient between Atlantic high pressure and lower
    pressures over Africa. Gentle to moderate or weaker winds and 3-6
    ft seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure ridging near 27N will
    change little through the period. The weather pattern will
    generally 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 through Sat night.
    Strong winds along with moderate to rough seas are expected at
    night north of Hispaniola, including the approaches to the
    Windward Passage through early next week.

    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. 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
