    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Sat Oct 3 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
    1600 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 43.5W, south of 20N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered showers are observed from
    08N to 16N between 40W and 46W.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave is along 76W, south of 21N,
    moving westward at around 15 kt. A few showers are noted near the
    northern portion of the wave.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 21N17W and continues
    southwestward to 10N40W. The ITCZ extends from 11N46W to 11N60W.
    Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is evident from
    07N to 18N and between 46W and the Lesser Antilles.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    An upper-level low spinning over the Bay of Campeche supports
    numerous showers and thunderstorms over the E Gulf waters, and
    isolated to scattered showers elsewhere. The pressure gradient
    between a surface trough along 94W and a high pressure system
    north of Bermuda sustain moderate to locally strong SE winds over
    the Gulf E of 91.5W. Light to gentle winds and slight to moderate
    seas prevail W of 91.5W.

    For the forecast, a broad upper-level low over the Bay of
    Campeche will sustain scattered to numerous showers and
    thunderstorms over much of the Gulf through the weekend. A
    moderate pressure gradient between the subtropical ridge over the
    western Atlantic and a surface trough in the central Gulf will
    support moderate to locally strong SE winds over much of the
    eastern half of the Gulf into Sun. A weak cold front is expected
    to move across the NW Gulf this weekend, and stall from the
    Florida panhandle to NW Gulf and to the SW by late Sun. Weak low
    pressure may ride up along the front during the weekend and into
    Mon enhancing winds some in the NW Gulf and in the north-central
    Gulf. The front will remain stationary into midweek. Fresh to
    locally strong NE winds are expected behind the front beginning
    Tue, mainly in the NE and north-central Gulf, as strong high
    pressure builds southward behind it. Light to moderate winds and
    moderate seas are generally expected elsewhere across the basin
    through the period.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are found over the NW and
    in the SW Caribbean Sea. Similar activity is noted over and
    around Hispaniola. A broad subtropical ridge north of the area
    supports moderate to fresh easterly trade winds and seas of 4-8
    ft across much of the basin, except for slight to gentle winds and
    slight to moderate seas in the SW Caribbean.

    For the forecast, a broad upper-level low over the Bay of
    Campeche and abundant deep tropical moisture will support
    scattered shower and thunderstorm activity this morning across the
    far western Caribbean. High pressure north of the area will force
    fresh to locally strong trade winds over the south-central
    Caribbean and in the Gulf of Honduras through tonight. As a
    frontal boundary reaches the waters north of the Bahamas, the
    pressure gradient will slacken again from Sun through the middle
    of next week leading to gentle to moderate trade winds across the
    basin. Fresh trades may pulse off Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela Mon night.

    Of note, locally heavy rain and a few strong thunderstorms are
    possible across Hispaniola this weekend, particularly over Haiti
    and western Hispaniola. A mid-upper level trough will deepen
    toward Hispaniola and develop a closed circulation near the island
    by Sun. This combined with available moisture and local effects
    as daytime heating, local sea breezes and mountain upslope lifting
    will likely increase the chances of rain in the area.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    The interaction between a surface trough extending from 31N59W to
    near Hispaniola and an upper trough over the western Atlantic
    promote scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms from north of
    Hispaniola to 28N between 65W and 71W. High pressure north of
    Bermuda supports moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas across
    much of the SW North Atlantic, W of 55W.

    In the rest of the tropical Atlantic, high pressure centered west
    of France sustains moderate to locally fresh easterly winds and
    moderate seas between 30W and 55W. E of 30W and north of the
    monsoon trough, a tighter pressure gradient allows for moderate
    to locally fresh N-NE winds and seas of 6-10 ft.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the combination of a trough
    extending from SE of Bermuda to Hispaniola and a broad upper-level
    trough digging southward will continue to support scattered
    showers and thunderstorms through the weekend between Bermuda and
    the Caribbean. High pressure will support mainly moderate easterly
    winds and moderate seas through the forecast period S of 30N.
    Looking ahead, a cold front may reach the waters off of NE Florida
    Tue morning and stall, followed by strong NE winds and rough seas
    through mid week in the offshore waters off NE Florida.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1122 AM EDT Mon May 17 2021

    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
