    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sat Mar 14 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...

    East Atlantic Gale Warning:
    Meteo-France issued a Gale Warning for their Canarias marine zone
    until 14/09Z. Please visit website:
    https://wwwmiws.wmo.int/index.php/metareas/display/2 for more
    detail.

    Gulf of America Gale Warning:
    A strong cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf by Sun
    night. As the front moves across the basin through early next
    week, gale-force NW winds will develop in the wake of the front
    mainly W of 94W. Rough seas are expected with these winds. These
    conditions will dissipate by late Mon.

    Please refer to the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the
    National Hurricane Center at website -
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for details.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 11N15W to 04N19W. The
    ITCZ continues from that point to 03S42W. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted along and within 270 nm on either side of the
    ITCZ.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front extends southwestward from Cape Sable in
    southwest Florida to beyond Cancun, Mexico. Gentle to moderate NE
    to SE winds and seas of 3 to 5 ft are present near the aforementioned
    front, and along the Mexico and Texas coastline. Surface ridging
    prevails across the basin in the wake of the front, anchored by a
    high pressure centered N of the area with slight to moderate seas.

    For the forecast, the front will lift back to the N today as high
    pressure over the region begins to shift eastward. A strong cold
    front is expected to move into the NW Gulf Sun night, quickly
    reaching the southeastern Gulf by Mon night and slow down as it
    moves into the northwestern Caribbean by late Tue. Strong to near
    gale-force N winds will follow the front along with seas rapidly
    becoming rough. Gale-force winds will be possible in the NW Gulf,
    and offshore Tampico and Veracruz, Mexico on Sun night and Mon.
    The winds offshore Veracruz may attain brief gusts to storm-force.
    In the wake of the front, high pressure will build across the
    region into midweek.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between north-central Atlantic high
    pressure and lower pressure in Colombia is supporting pulsing
    fresh to strong trades across the south-central basin. Rough seas
    are expected with these winds. Fresh E trade winds and moderate
    seas prevail elsewhere E of 83W, while moderate E winds and slight
    seas are noted W of 83W.

    For the forecast, pulsing fresh to strong trades will prevail across
    the south-central basin through the morning hours. The high
    pressure will shift eastward today, with a brief weakening of the
    gradient allowing for fresh to strong trades to be confined to
    south of 13N between 72W and 76W. Afterward, new high pressure
    will build westward across the central Atlantic next week, with
    the resulting pressure gradient leading to fresh to strong trades
    and building seas extending from the Tropical North Atlantic to
    the eastern and central Caribbean, including through passages.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A stationary front meanders southwestward from near Bermuda across
    31N69W and the northwest Bahamas to beyond the southern tip of
    Florida. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
    occurring near and up to 50 nm on either side of the front. Farther
    east, a surface trough embedded within the trade winds is causing
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms east of the Windward
    Islands from 10N to 16N between 51W and 54W.

    Gentle with moderate NE to SE winds and seas of 4 to 6 ft are
    evident north of 23N between 55W and the Florida/southern Georgia
    coast. To the east and southeast, moderate to fresh NE to E
    winds and 7 to 9 ft seas are noted north of 05N between 35W and
    55W. For the tropical Atlantic from 05N to 23N between 55W and the
    Lesser Antilles, moderate ENE winds and seas at 5 to 7 ft exist.
    For the remainder of the Atlantic west of 35W, gentle to moderate
    NE to E winds and 5 to 7 ft seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a high pressure will build west-
    southwestward toward the Bahamas through the weekend before it
    will retreat eastward early next week in response to the next cold
    front. The front will move off the U.S. southeastern coast Mon
    evening, then slow down and stall from near 31N72W to the central
    Bahamas and to central Cuba by late Tue. Fresh to strong southerly
    winds and rough seas will develop over the NW forecast waters
    starting Sun afternoon ahead of the front. Fresh to strong
    northwest winds will follow the front through Tue. To the south,
    rough seas produced by long-period E swell will impact the waters
    E of the Bahamas early next week before slowly subsiding during
    midweek.

    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.
