    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Tue Aug 11 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
    2030 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    The axis of a tropical wave is near 28W from 03N to 17N, moving
    westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 08N
    to 13N between 25W and 35W.

    The axis of a tropical wave is near 44W from 03N to 17N, moving
    west at around 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 09N
    to 14N between 45W and 50W.

    The axis of a tropical wave is near 57W from 05N to 23N, moving
    west at 15 kt. No significant convection currently accompanies
    the wave.

    The axis of a tropical wave is near 76W S of 20N, moving west at
    15 to 20 kt. Scattered showers are in the vicinity of the wave N
    of 17N.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 19N16W and continues southwestward to 11N50W. The
    ITCZ extends from 11N50W to 10N55W. Aside from the convection
    mentioned in the tropical waves section, scattered moderate
    convection is noted from 07N to 12N between 17W and 22W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A surface ridge extends from the Bermuda High westward across the
    northern Gulf. Gentle to locally moderate winds, and slight seas,
    prevail across the discussion area.

    For the forecast, the ridge will dominate the general wind flow
    pattern across basin through Fri before it reorganizes to a weak
    high center over the NE Gulf through Sat night. Gentle to moderate
    E to SE winds will generally prevail across the basin, with the
    exception of pulses of fresh winds occurring north and west of the
    Yucatan Peninsula and into the Bay of Campeche each evening and
    night as a diurnal surface trough migrates from the Yucatan
    Peninsula westward across the SW Gulf. Slight to moderate seas are
    expected through the forecast period.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between a 1023 mb Bermuda High and lower
    pressure in northern South America is supporting fresh to strong
    winds, and moderate to rough seas, over the central Caribbean.
    Gentle to moderate winds, and slight to moderate seas, prevail
    elsewhere.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure
    ridging over the western Atlantic and lower pressure in northern
    South America will continue to support fresh to strong trades over
    the central portion of the basin through Wed night. The ridge
    will gradually shift southward to near 26N by Thu allowing for the
    trades to significantly expand in coverage to cover the eastern
    portion of the basin into early Sat. Winds are expected to reach
    near-gale force offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela
    each night, except Wed night. Winds will pulse up to fresh to
    strong speeds during the evenings and at night in the the Windward
    Passage through the forecast period. Otherwise, moderate to fresh
    trades will prevail elsewhere.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    High pressure prevails over the waters N of 20N, anchored by a
    1023 mb high centered near 30N67W and a 1023 mb high centered near
    27N41W. Light to gentle winds generally prevail over the waters N
    of 22N, with slight to moderate seas. Gentle to moderate winds,
    and moderate seas are noted elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the ridge will shift southward to
    along 28N Tue and to near 26N by Thu and change little into Sat.
    The gradient will tighten over the southern portion leading to an
    increase of the trades from the Bahamas eastward. Fresh trades
    will prevail N of Hispaniola and in the approach to the Windward
    Passage through the period, pulsing to strong speeds each night.
    Of note, a tropical wave emerging off the coast of west Africa is
    expected to interact with an area of low pressure that is located
    a few hundred nautical miles southwest of the Cabo Verde Islands
    in a couple of days. Environmental conditions are forecast to be
    more conducive for development by the middle of the week, and a
    tropical depression could form during the latter half of this week
    while the system moves westward to west-northwestward across the
    central tropical Atlantic.

    Tropical Weather Outlook
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    200 PM EDT Mon Aug 10 2026

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

    Eastern and Central Tropical Atlantic:
    An area of low pressure located a few hundred miles southwest of the
    Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large area of showers and
    thunderstorms. As this low moves slowly westward, a tropical wave
    emerging off the coast of west Africa is expected to interact
    with the system in a couple of days. Environmental conditions are
    forecast to be more conducive for development by mid-week, and a
    tropical depression could form during the latter half of this week
    while the system moves westward to west-northwestward across the
    central tropical Atlantic.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

    Central Tropical Atlantic:
    Disorganized showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical
    wave are located about midway between the coast of west Africa and
    the Lesser Antilles. Some gradual development of this system is
    possible through mid-week while it moves quickly westward across the
    central tropical Atlantic. Environmental conditions are expected to
    become less favorable for development later this week as the system
    approaches the Lesser Antilles.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

    Western Subtropical Atlantic:
    A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles north of
    Bermuda is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity.
    Some development of this system is possible during the next couple
    of days while it moves quickly eastward, well to the north of
    Bermuda, across the western and central subtropical Atlantic. The
    system is forecast to reach cooler waters later this week, ending
    its chances of formation after Wednesday.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 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.

    $$

    .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
