    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Sat Sep 19 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
    2130 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 45W from 02N
    to 21N, moving westward at 5-10 kt. Scattered moderate convection
    is from 15N to 20N between 41W and 50W.

    A western Caribbean tropical wave has its axis near 82/83WW south
    of 19N to western Panama, moving westward around 10-15 kt.
    Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is noted from
    15N to 20N between 77W and 85W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough extends off the coast of Africa near 14N17W to
    09N27W to 15N45W. Aside from convection noted in the tropical
    waves section above, scattered moderate and isolated strong
    convection is noted from 08N to 15N between 14W and 21W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A weak pressure gradient prevails across the area. Gentle to
    moderate winds, and slight to moderate seas, prevail N of 25N.
    Light to gentle winds and slight seas are found S of 25N.

    For the forecast, weak ridging north of the Gulf will maintain
    generally gentle to moderate winds across the Gulf for the next
    several days. An upper-low and associated surface low/trough
    over the central Gulf will contribute to scattered showers and
    thunderstorms today and tonight.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Fresh to locally strong winds and moderate seas prevail over the
    south central Caribbean. Moderate to fresh winds and moderate seas
    are elsewhere E of 80W. Light to gentle winds and slight to
    moderate seas are found W of 80W.

    For the forecast, a modest pressure gradient between high
    pressure north of the area and the Colombian Low will maintain
    fresh to locally strong trades over the S central Caribbean for
    the next several days. A vigorous upper-level low will promote
    scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the W
    Caribbean for at least the next two days.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    The Atlantic waters N of 20N are dominated by three troughs. The
    first one is from the central Bahamas northward to 28N73W.
    Scattered moderate to strong convection is in the vicinity of
    this trough. Farther east, another trough extends from 31N60W to
    25N52W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is in
    the vicinity of this trough. A third trough is from 29N43W to
    23N46W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is in
    the vicinity of this trough. A weak pressure gradient prevails
    across the waters W of 45W with light to gentle winds and slight
    seas prevailing over these waters. East of 45W, gentle to moderate
    winds, and slight to moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a weak pressure gradient will
    support gentle to moderate winds across forecast waters for the
    next several days. A vigorous upper-level low and abundant
    tropical moisture will force scattered to numerous showers and
    thunderstorms for the waters west of 65W for at least the next two
    days.

    Tropical Depression Six Discussion Number   2
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062026
    900 PM GMT Sat Sep 19 2026
     
    A new burst of convection has formed over the depression, that
    mostly covers the center of the system. However, the bulk of the
    convection is still on the northern side of the cyclone at this
    time, implying that some wind shear is still affecting it. The most 
    recent TAFB Dvorak fix was T2.0/30 kt, which is the same as the 
    previous cycle. Therefore, the initial intensity remains at 30 kt 
    for this advisory. 
     
    Tropical Depression Six is still moving slowly, but has started to 
    show a bit more motion towards the north-northeast. The cyclone 
    should move more northeastward for roughly the next 36 h as a 
    trough to the north weakens a low- to mid-level ridge to the 
    northeast. Following this, at around 48 h, the ridge should build 
    back towards the west, which in turn will force the cyclone to move 
    southwestward for the rest of the forecast period. The current NHC 
    forecast track is very similar to the previous forecast track with 
    small adjustments to the track and speed, and remains in good 
    agreement with HCCA and GDMI.
    
    The cyclone should move into a slightly more favorable environment, 
    between two areas of intense shear, and so there a good chance for 
    intensification to occur for the next day or so. After 36 h, the 
    system should move into an area of higher shear as the previously 
    mentioned trough moves closer. This should lead to a gradual 
    weakening of the system. The depression is expected to become a 
    post-tropical remnant low around 72 h, and then dissipate around 
    120 h. There is still some uncertainty in the forecast of when the 
    cyclone will become post-tropical and then dissipate, as both could 
    possibly occur sooner than what is currently forecast. The new NHC 
    intensity forecast is still in the middle of the guidance envelope, 
    and is closely align with HCCA and just under GDMI for peak 
    intensity.

    Marine Weather Discussion

    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

Atlantic Tropical Monthly Summary
  • Thu, 01 May 2025 13:04:51 +0000: Atlantic Monthly Tropical Weather Summary - Atlantic Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
    000<br />ABNT30 KNHC 011304<br />TWSAT <br /><br />Monthly Tropical Weather Summary<br />NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL<br />900 AM EDT Thu May 1 2025<br /><br />This is the last National Hurricane Center (NHC) Tropical Weather <br />Summary (TWS) text product that will be issued for the Atlantic <br />basin. 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
