    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Sat Jul 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1500 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the Atlantic
    high pressure ridge extending from the central Atlantic west-
    northwestward to north Florida and the NE Gulf of America, and
    lower pressures over northern South America, will continue to
    support strong to near gale-force easterly trade winds over the
    south- central Caribbean, including the Gulf of Venezuela, into
    early next week. Morning satellite scatterometer data showed
    winds near gale-force off the north coast of Colombia, where
    satellite altimeter data showed seas of 12 to 15 ft. Winds and
    seas have since diminished slightly across that area. Winds are
    forecast to pulse to gale- force off the coast of Colombia again
    tonight through Sun morning. Rough to very rough seas of 12 to 14
    ft are expected with these winds.

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

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave has entered the Caribbean, along 61W-62W, south
    of 18N, moving westward around 15 kt. Scattered squalls and moderate
    thunderstorms are seen moving across the SE Caribbean, Windward
    Islands, and adjacent Atlantic waters south of 14N between
    between 55W and 64W.

    A Caribbean tropical wave has entered the Yucatan Peninsula and
    is now along about 88W, south of 21N and into the eastern Tropical
    Pacific, moving west near 15 kt. Scattered moderate to strong
    convection is south of 20N, extending from 84.5W westward across
    the Gulf of Honduras and adjacent waters and well inland.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 19N16W and continues southwestward to 09N31W. The
    ITCZ extends from 09N32W to 06N51W to the coast of Guyana near
    07.5N59W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is
    occurring from 08N to 12N and between 15W and 27W. Scattered
    moderate convection is noted from 06N to 10N between 31W and 57W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The western Atlantic surface ridge extends west-northwestward
    across north Florida and the Florida Big Bend today. Associated
    southeasterly low level flow continues to transport areas of
    abundant low level moisture into the basin. Clusters of scattered
    showers and isolated thunderstorms extends from the SE Louisiana
    southward to near 26N, and area also about the Texas coastal
    waters. Overnight convection across the Florida Straits and SE
    Gulf has diminished in intensity, however scattered moderate
    showers persist there. The subtropical ridge is supporting light
    to gentle winds and seas of 2-4 ft across the waters east of 88W.
    Gentle to moderate SE to S winds generally prevail west of 88W,
    where seas are also 2-4 ft.

    For the forecast, a frontal boundary will approach the northern
    Gulf coast this weekend, enhancing thunderstorm activity across
    the area into early next week. Mariners should expect gusty
    winds, frequent lightning, and higher seas near the strongest
    thunderstorms. Elsewhere, high pressure will dominate into next
    week, supporting mainly gentle to moderate SE winds. However,
    fresh to strong easterly winds will pulse offshore the Yucatan
    Peninsula each night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
    gale conditions forecast for offshore Colombia. The pressure
    gradient south of the western Atlantic ridge to the north is
    supporting mostly strong trade winds south of 17.5N between 67W
    and 80W, based on morning satellite scatterometer data. Seas are 8
    ft 15 ft across this area. Fresh to locally strong E-NE trade
    winds accompany the tropical wave entering the Caribbean this
    morning, and extend to the east of the wave axis and into the
    Tropical Atlantic east of the Lesser Antilles. Squalls and
    thunderstorms are ahead of the tropical wave in the SE Caribbean.
    Seas across this area are 6-8 ft.

    Divergence aloft and abundant tropical moisture accompanying
    the tropical wave continues to producing scattered showers and
    thunderstorms over the NW Caribbean west of 84.5W. Similar
    convection is noted in the SW Caribbean, from western Panama to
    southeast Nicaragua.

    For the forecast, high pressure north of the islands and lower
    environmental pressures over northern South America combine to
    support strong to near gale-force easterly trades and rough seas
    over the central Caribbean, including the Windward Passage. This
    pattern will persist into next week. Winds will pulse to gale-
    force off Colombia tonight. Trades over the Gulf of Honduras will
    pulse to strong each evening through the forecast period.
    Finally, moderate to locally fresh easterly breezes and moderate
    seas are expected in the eastern Caribbean into next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A persistent upper level low pressure system over the SE Bahamas
    and eastern Cuba is combining with abundant tropical moisture
    surging northwestward across the Bahamas and into south Florida
    to produce scattered showers and thunderstorms across the NW
    Bahamas, The Florida Straits, and nearby waters. A squall line is
    seen northeast of Abaco moving northeastward. Farther east,
    divergence aloft and a frontal trough just north of our area
    extending southwestward to near 27N60W support scattered showers
    and isolated thunderstorms north of 26N and between 53W and 61W.
    The rest of the tropical Atlantic is under the influence of a
    broad subtropical ridge that sustains fresh to strong easterly
    trade winds and moderate seas, except for locally rough seas to 8
    ft off Haiti and eastern Cuba, and across the waters east of the
    Lesser Antilles. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and moderate
    seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, an upper level low pressure
    currently over the NW Bahamas will move westward through the
    weekend, supporting thunderstorms with locally strong winds,
    frequent lightning and higher seas. Meanwhile, the subtropical
    ridge will remain dominant through the period, supporting moderate
    to fresh trades south of 23N, with mainly gentle winds to the
    north. Pulsing strong and locally rough seas winds are expected
    each night offshore Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage.

    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.

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.
