    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Wed Nov 4 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
    1000 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A sharp trough is analyzed this
    evening from 26N65W to 22N68W. This development is associated
    with an upper trough reaching from 32N70W through central Florida.
    Recent buoy observations and scatterometer satellite data showed
    fresh to strong NE to E winds between the trough and 1027 mb high
    pressure over the western Atlantic near 37N65W. This pattern is
    supporting a weak shear line along 25N. Concurrent altimeter data
    showed 8-11 ft seas between the Bahamas and Bermuda. As the low
    develops today, the pressure gradient is expected to yield near-
    gale to gale-force NE to E winds beginning this afternoon,
    roughly over the waters from 29N to 31N between 63W and 69W. Seas
    are expected to build to 10-14 ft with these winds through Thu as
    the low pressure drifts east-northeastward. The low pressure
    could acquire some subtropical characteristics late this week as
    it continues to shift slowly E-NE across the sub-tropical
    Atlantic. Gale-force winds may continue across northern portions
    of this expected broad low pressure into late Sat.

    Please read the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at website: https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html

    Heavy Precipitation across Central America: Deep-layer troughing
    over the northwestern Caribbean will interact with enhanced low-
    level moisture associated with broad cyclonic flow over the
    western Caribbean during the next several days. This will favor
    heavy precipitation developing across Central America, northern
    South America, as well as Jamaica through Friday. The heaviest
    precipitation is expected across southern and western portions of
    Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua, with the bulk of precipitation
    occurring today through Thursday. Heavy rainfall will lead to
    possible life-threatening flash flooding and landslides. Please
    refer to your local weather agency and the International Desk at
    the Weather Prediction Center for more details.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic from coast of Sierra
    Leone near 12N16W, and continues southwestward to 07N27W. The
    ITCZ and continues from that point to 08N60W. Scattered moderate
    convection is occurring along the boundaries and E of 53W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A broad trough extends from the northeast Gulf to the central
    Gulf. Moderate to fresh SE winds and seas to 4 ft are active
    across the Florida Big Bend area between the trough and 1027 mb
    high pressure off Virginia. Light to gentle breezes and 1-3 ft
    are noted elsewhere.

    For the forecast, a cold front extends across the NW Gulf and will
    continue moving across the area today, then weaken and dissipate
    by tonight. Moderate northwest to north winds prevail west of the
    front. The next cold front is expected to move across the Gulf
    waters this weekend. Fresh to strong north winds will develop
    west of the front and west of 93W on Sun, with moderate north to
    northeast winds elsewhere behind the front.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Deep-layer troughing across the northwestern Caribbean supports
    scattered moderate to strong convection from 10N to 18N between
    70W and 82W. A broad 1009 mb low pressure area is centered over
    the southwest Caribbean near 13N81W. This pattern is supporting
    gentle to moderate E winds over the eastern Caribbean with 3-5 ft
    seas, and light breezes over the western Caribbean with 1-3 ft
    seas.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the area is
    supporting moderate trade winds, along with moderate seas, over
    the central and eastern Caribbean. Light to gentle winds and
    slight to moderate seas are over the western Caribbean. The
    pressure gradient will further loosen across the area today. This
    will diminish the moderate trades across the central and eastern
    Caribbean.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section for information on a Gale
    Warning in the western Atlantic.

    An upper trough reaches from 32N70W through central Florida.
    Scattered showers and thunderstorms are active near 31N67W,
    southwest of Bermuda, associated with this trough. Scattered
    showers and thunderstorms are also active over the eastern Straits
    of Florida into the northern Bahamas. Scatterometer data and buoy
    observations confirm fresh to strong winds north of a shear line
    along 25N. Altimeter data indicates rough seas with these winds.
    Farther east, a cold front extends from a 1015 mb low near 30N35W
    to 26N40W, then becomes stationary to 26N59W. Strong high
    pressure is centered north of Bermuda. Fresh winds and 6-8 ft
    combined seas are evident north of this frontal boundary. Gentle
    to moderate winds and moderate seas persist elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, low pressure is expected to
    strengthens today, roughly from 27N to 28N, and track slowly east-
    northeastward during the rest of the week and the weekend. A
    broad zone of strong to gale-force winds, and rough to very rough
    seas, peaking near 14 ft, will develop north of the low pressure
    and expand eastward from this afternoon through Sun, impacting the
    waters mainly north of about 27N. The gale-force winds will
    likely be north of 29N from this afternoon through Sat night. A
    weakening cold front will move across the waters between Florida
    and 75W Fri and Fri night, then dissipate Sat and Sat night.

    700 AM EST Wed Nov 4 2026

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

    Western and Central Atlantic:
    A broad area of low pressure is forming along a remnant frontal
    boundary a few hundred miles south of Bermuda. Environmental
    conditions could support this system gradually acquiring subtropical
    characteristics through this weekend while it moves slowly eastward
    over the western and central subtropical Atlantic. By early next
    week, environmental conditions are forecast to become unfavorable
    for further development. For more information on this system,
    including Gale Warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts issued by
    the National Weather Service.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 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

    .GULF OF MEXICO...

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.
