    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Thu Nov 5 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0300 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A recent scatterometer satellite
    pass confirmed winds to gale force south of Bermuda, between 1024
    mb high pressure centered north of Bermuda near 37N65W, and 1008
    mb low pressure near 26N64W. Gale-force winds are noted near
    30N65W. Strong to near-gale force winds are noted from 27N to 31N
    between 55W and 70W, with associated seas ranging from 8 ft to 12
    ft. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are also active
    in this area. 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. Chances of this development remain low
    through 48 hours, and medium through the next seven days.
    Regardless of such development, the area of winds and seas will
    expand as the low shifts eastward, with gale force wind and very
    rough seas will expand eastward north of 25N reaching as far east
    as 45W by early Mon. Winds and seas start to diminish thereafter,
    as environmental conditions are forecast to become unfavorable
    for further development. 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 extends southwestward across
    northern portions of Central America and into the tropical
    eastern Pacific. This feature will interact with enhanced low-
    level moisture and onshore flow south of the monsoon trough over
    the next several days. This will favor heavy precipitation
    developing across Central America starting today and lasting
    through at least Friday. The heaviest precipitation is expected
    across Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with the bulk of precipitation
    occurring through Thursday. Heavy rainfall may lead to 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 11N15W to 09N18W.
    The ITCZ extends from 09N18W to 08N35W to 10N55W. Scattered to
    numerous moderate convection is noted from 04N to 10N between 25W
    and 45W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front reaches from Gulfport, MS to Tampico, Mexico.
    1015 mb high pressure is over the eastern and central Gulf,
    centered near 25N88W. This pattern is supporting light breezes and
    1-3 ft seas across the basin.

    For the forecast, a frontal boundary extends across the NW Gulf. The
    front will weaken and dissipate overnight. Moderate northwest to
    north winds prevail west of the front. The next cold front is
    expected to move across the Gulf waters this weekend. NW winds to
    gale force are expected in the SW Gulf Sun night and Mon. 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...

    A cluster of thunderstorms is active south of Jamaica near Pedro
    Cay. Scattered thunderstorms are active across the southern
    approaches to the Windward Passage. Broad 1008 mb low pressure
    near Grand Cayman Island is along a surface trough at 82W from 15N
    and 21N. This pattern is supporting light breezes and
    1-3 ft seas across the basin.

    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 tonight.
    This will diminish the moderate trades across the central and
    eastern Caribbean through the forecast period.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

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

    Elsewhere, a cold front reaches from 1004 mb low pressure near the
    Azores to 30N31W to 26N40W, then stationary to 27N50W. Farther
    south, a trough reaches from the Cabo Verde Islands to 11N35W.
    This pattern is supporting gentle to moderate breezes and 4-6 ft
    combined seas in N swell.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the low pressure will track
    slowly east-northeastward during the rest of the week and the
    weekend. An area of strong to gale-force winds, and rough to very
    rough seas, peaking near 14 ft, has developed north of the low
    pres and will expand eastward through Sun, impacting the waters
    mainly north of about 27N. The gale-force winds will likely be
    north of 29N through the end of the week. Elsewhere, a weakening
    cold front will move across the waters between Florida and 75W Fri
    and Fri night, then dissipate Sat and Sat night.

    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.

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
