    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Tue Oct 6 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1040 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Southwestern Gulf of America (Invest AL92):
    Gradual development of a low near Tampico, Mexico is becoming more
    likely, and a tropical depression is likely to form within the
    next couple of days. This system is expected to drift eastward
    over the next few days, before it turns northward. Regardless of
    development, fresh to near gale-force winds and rough to very
    rough seas are forecast over portions of Gulf Wed through Sat
    night. Numerous moderate to strong convection extends from 20N to
    25N between 94W and 98W. Scattered moderate to strong convection
    is elsewhere in the Bay of Campeche. Chances of tropical cyclone
    formation through the next 48 hours are high.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is over the E Caribbean with axis near 63W, moving
    westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection
    is noted from 12N to 16N between 58W and 64W. The wave is also
    enhancing fresh to strong E winds across the central Lesser Antilles
    and adjacent waters.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 14N17W and extends to
    12N30W to 07N44W. The ITCZ extends from 07N44W to 10N58W.
    Scattered moderate convection is evident from 07N to 16N between
    16W and 38W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Please read the Special Features section above for more
    information on Invest AL92.

    A weak cold front extends from Cape Canaveral to just N of Tampa
    Bay where it stalls to a 1010 mb low near 29N86W to 28N94W to
    25N97W. A surface trough then continues from the tail of the front
    along the E Mexico offshores to Invest AL92 low to the Bay of
    Campeche. Observations across the northern Gulf coastal waters
    depict fresh to strong NE winds N of the front and slight to
    moderate seas. Strong convection in the vicinity of AL92 suggest
    stronger gusty winds and rough seas are likely. Elsewhere, ahead
    of these boundaries, winds are moderate or weaker, and seas slight
    to moderate.

    For the forecast, fresh to locally strong N winds will follow a
    trough along the E Mexican offshores through today. Weak surface
    ridging over the NE Gulf will slowly shift eastward through late
    today ahead of a front stalling over the northern Gulf through Wed
    before it starts to weaken Wed night. Fresh NE to E winds and
    building seas are forecast N of the front. Looking ahead, gradual
    development of a low NE of Tampico is becoming more likely, and a
    a tropical depression is likely to form during the middle or
    latter portion of the week. This system is expected to drift
    eastward over the next few days, before it turns northward.
    Regardless of development, fresh to near gale-force winds and
    rough to very rough seas are forecast over portions of Gulf Wed
    through Sat night. Mariners should monitor the latest forecasts
    from the National Hurricane Center.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Moderate to fresh E to SE winds prevail in the northwest and
    central Caribbean being supported by weak 1017 mb high to the SE
    of Bermuda. Moderate to fresh winds are also in the far E basin
    due to the passage of a tropical wave that is bringing showers and
    isolated tstms to the central Lesser Antilles and adjacent
    waters. Middle level diffluent flow is generating scattered
    showers in the Windward Passage. Otherwise, scattered heavy
    showers are offshore Panama associated with the E extension of the
    Pacific monsoon.

    For the forecast, weak ridging SE of Bermuda will support
    moderate to fresh E to SE winds across the northwest and central
    Caribbean through this morning. Afterward, a cold front will move
    across the waters N of the region, further weakening the pressure
    gradient and supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds across the
    basin through early Thu. High pressure is forecast to redevelop
    to the SE of Bermuda Thu night, which will drift westward through
    Fri evening before dissipating. This will increase the easterly
    winds over the central Caribbean to fresh speed Fri, then moderate
    to fresh Fri night through Sat night.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A cold front stalls near 30N73W and extends to 30N79W where it
    transitions to a cold front that extends to Cape Canaveral,
    Florida. Scattered showers and isolated tstms along with fresh NE
    winds are behind the front. Weak surface ridging dominates the
    remainder subtropical waters, providing moderate or weaker winds
    and slight to moderate seas.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a stationary front will transition
    to a cold front and move slowly E over the area today, then stall
    from Bermuda to NE Florida tonight into Wed. Fresh to strong NE
    winds and rough seas will follow the front, remaining off NE
    Florida through Wed night. Moderate or weaker winds and slight
    seas will persist elsewhere through Fri. By Fri evening, high
    pressure developing SE of Bermuda and shifting westward will
    increase trades S of 22N to moderate to fresh speeds, continuing
    Sat and Sat night. Otherwise, winds will reach fresh to strong
    speeds again off NE Florida late on Fri as a low pressure,
    possible tropical cyclone, moves northward across the Gulf of
    America.

    Tropical Weather Outlook
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    800 AM EDT Tue Oct 6 2026

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

    Southwestern Gulf of America (AL92):
    Showers and thunderstorms are showing signs of organization in
    association with a broad area of low pressure located over the
    southwestern Gulf of America. Continued development of this system
    is expected, and a tropical depression is anticipated to form over
    the next day or so while it drifts eastward. The low pressure area
    could bring gusty winds and areas of heavy rain to the western
    portions of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico in a couple of days.

    The disturbance is expected to turn to the north or northeast toward
    the northern Gulf Coast by the end of the week. It is still too
    early to determine specific impacts to the northern Gulf Coast, but
    interests from the Florida Panhandle to Louisiana should closely
    monitor the progress of this system. The NOAA Gulfstream is
    scheduled to sample the environment over the Gulf later today and an
    Air Force reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the
    system tomorrow.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 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.
