    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Mon Oct 12 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
    2300 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 29W, south of 20N, moving
    westward at 5 to 10 kt. A 1009 mb low pressure is analyzed along
    the wave axis 14N29W. The most recent satellite scatterometer data
    indicate strong S to SW winds to 30 kt across the SE quadrant,
    and fresh to strong NE to E winds across the N semicircle of center.
    Seas are 8 to 11 ft across these areas. A cluster of moderate to
    strong convection is just E of the low center. Environmental
    conditions appear only marginally conducive for some development
    of this system over the next day or two before upper-level winds
    become too strong for any further development by midweek. Regardless,
    heavy rainfall is expected over the next few days for portions
    of the Cabo Verde Islands as the system moves slowly northward to
    north-northwestward. There is a low chance for tropical cyclone
    development in the next 48 hours, and also through next 7 days.

    Another Atlantic tropical wave is near 40W/41W, south of 19N,
    moving westward near 15 kt. A 1010 mb low is along the wave axis
    near 10N41W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is
    observed in the vicinity of the low center, and mainly from 08N
    to 13N and between 38W and 45W.

    The tropical that wave previously located over the NW Caribbean
    has now its axis over the Yucatan Peninsula and Guatemala.
    Please, see more information in the eastern Pacific Tropical
    Weather Discussion.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of west
    Africa near 12N16W and continues westward to 14N29W to 10N41W to
    08N46W. The ITCZ extends from 08N46W to 08N60W. Aside from the
    convection associated with the tropical waves, scattered moderate
    convection is noted from 05N to 10N between 20W and 38W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front extends from near Sarasota, Florida across the
    central Gulf to near NE Mexico. Some shower activity, with embedded
    thunderstorms, are along the frontal boundary. A band of showers
    and thunderstorms is noted ahead of the front affecting portions
    of central and south Florida. A 1021 mb high pressure has shifted
    southward into the north-central Gulf, and it is located just S
    of SE Louisiana. Gentle to moderate NE to E winds and seas of 3
    to 5 ft prevail N of the front. Light to gentle winds and slight
    to moderate seas are south of the front.

    For the forecast, the front will move across the southeast Gulf
    and stall, then dissipate through mid week. High pressure building
    behind the front over the north-central Gulf will support E to
    SE winds and moderate seas from the Florida Straits to the Texas
    coast, and gentle breezes and slight seas elsewhere. Looking
    ahead, fresh to strong NE winds and building seas will follow
    another cold front moving into the northeast Gulf Fri night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A large upper level low center is shifting westward across the
    eastern Caribbean, generating a significant area of showers and
    thunderstorms. At the surface, high pressure remains well north
    of the basin across the NW Atlantic. The modest pressure gradient
    across the Caribbean is forcing moderate to fresh easterly trade
    winds and moderate to locally rough seas to 8 ft across most of
    the basin E of 82W. Fresh to strong winds are occurring S of
    Hispaniola, through the Windward Passage, and offshore Colombia.

    For the forecast, high pressure north of the area will support
    moderate to fresh trade winds and moderate seas across the
    eastern and central Caribbean through Mon, with fresh to strong
    E winds and rough seas across the Windward Passage and off
    Colombia. These winds and seas will diminish Tue as the high
    pressure shifts eastward ahead of a cold front moving through the
    Gulf and western Atlantic.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A cold front enters the forecast waters near 31N40W and continues
    southwestward to 27N50W, then becomes stationary to 27N68W. Fresh
    to strong NE to E winds follow the front E of 65W. Scattered
    showers and isolated thunderstorms are near the front. Meanwhile,
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms continue in a 75 nm
    wide band off NE Florida, ahead of a cold front moving across
    central Florida. The modest pressure gradient between a strong
    ridge over the NW Atlantic and the aforementioned front north of
    the Leeward Islands is sustaining moderate easterly winds S of
    25N W of 65W, including the Bahamas and the Old Bahamas Channel.
    The remainder of the Atlantic forecast region is under the influence
    of a 1024 mb high pressure located N of the Madeira Islands near
    35N17.5W. The pressure gradient between its associated ridge and
    lower pressures in the vicinity of the monsoon trough supports
    moderate to locally strong NE to E winds N of the monsoon trough
    to about 24N and E of 44W, with stronger winds near the tropical
    wave located along 29W. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and
    moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front moving off northeast
    Florida will reach from 31N77W to Jupiter Inlet, Florida late
    Mon, and from Bermuda to the Upper Florida Keys by early Tue. The
    northern part of the front will continue to move eastward before
    stalling and dissipating through mid week, while the western
    part lifts northward across the Bahamas and Florida while
    dissipating. Looking ahead, a cold front may move into the waters
    off northeast Florida by late Fri night into early Sat morning.

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

    Eastern Tropical Atlantic:
    An elongated area of low pressure centered a few hundred miles west
    of the Cabo Verde Islands is producing a large but disorganized area
    of showers and thunderstorms, extending from these islands
    southwestward into the eastern tropical Atlantic. Environmental
    conditions appear only marginally conducive for some development of
    this system over the next day or two before upper-level winds become
    too strong for any further development by midweek. Regardless, heavy
    rainfall is expected over the next few days for portions of the Cabo
    Verde Islands as the system moves slowly northward to
    north-northwestward.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 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.
