    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Sat Oct 24 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
    1619 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: A tightening pressure gradient will continue
    to develop across the northwestern zones today as strong high
    pressure builds southward over the western Atlantic, and low
    pressure deepens near the southern Bahamas southwest of a cold front
    along 30N moving slowly southeastward into the area. This setup is
    expected to induce widespread fresh to near gale-force NE to E winds
    and rough to very rough seas, with winds reaching gale- force over
    much of the waters north of 28N and between 60W and 75W early Sun
    through Sun night. The front is expected to stall from near Bermuda
    to the central Bahamas by Mon, with winds and seas diminishing very
    slowly through mid week. Mariners are urged to remain alert to these
    dangerous marine conditions, and take the necessary precautions to
    avoid the affected areas. Please, see the latest NWS High Seas
    Forecast issued by the National Hurricane Center at website
    https:www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for further details.

    Heavy Rainfall Event in the North Caribbean: A mid to upper level
    trough over the northern Caribbean combined with abundant tropical
    moisture will support periods of heavy rain over eastern Cuba,
    Hispaniola, Jamaica, the southern Bahamas, and the Turks and
    Caicos Islands through Mon. By mid-week, the trough is forecast
    to weaken while moving eastward into the central Atlantic. Heavy
    rainfall will raise concerns for dangerous and life-threatening
    flash flooding. Please refer to your local weather services and
    the International Desk at the Weather Prediction Center for more
    information.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough extends from the coast of Africa near 15N17W
    and extends southwestward to 10N32.5W. The ITCZ extends from
    10N39W to 08N59W. A surface trough is analyzed along 36W from 07N
    to 16N. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is
    depicted from 05.5N to 20N between 20W and 38W. Scattered
    moderate convection is elsewhere from 07N to 13N between 38W and
    50W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure over the eastern United States extends a ridge over
    the Gulf waters N of 20N. The pressure gradient between this
    ridge and a trough E of the Bahamas is supporting moderate to
    fresh NE to E winds basin-wide along with moderate seas, except
    slight over the NW Gulf coastal waters and offshore Veracruz.

    For the forecast, a broad ridge extends over most of the eastern
    United States and into the northern Gulf, supporting mainly
    moderate to locally fresh NE to E winds across most of the Gulf
    region. A tightening pressure gradient between the high pressure
    and low pressure forecast to deepen near the southern Bahamas will
    bring fresh to strong NE winds and rough seas over the eastern
    Gulf, including the Florida Straits this evening through Tue.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about the potential for heavy rainfall over eastern Cuba,
    Hispaniola, and Jamaica.

    Upper-level diffluent flow over the central basin supports
    scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms between eastern
    Cuba and Jamaica and the central Carribbean. The E Pacific
    monsoon supports similar convective activity over the SW
    Caribbean. With a broad ridge over the Gulf of America, N to NE
    winds have reached moderate speeds in the NW basin W of 81W,
    including the Yucatan Channel. Moderate N winds are also offshore
    Nicaragua. Seas in both the SW and NW Caribbean are slight. The
    Azores High ridge extends to the central Atlantic subtropical
    waters, which is supporting moderate to fresh E to SE winds E of
    74.5W where seas are moderate to 7 ft.

    For the forecast, a mid to upper level trough over Florida and NW
    Caribbean will shift very slowly eastward through Mon and support
    scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms over the north-
    central Caribbean and Windward Passage. Meanwhile, a broad surface
    trough over the SE Bahamas extends southwestward across the
    central and SW Caribbean, and will support moderate or weaker
    winds, and slight to moderate seas west of 76W through today, and
    moderate to fresh E to SE winds and moderate seas east of 76W.
    Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S. will build southward
    across Florida and the Gulf of America through the weekend and
    lead to fresh N to NE winds and building seas across the western
    Caribbean. Expect rough seas in large N swell across the Yucatan
    Channel Mon through Tue. Little change is expected elsewhere.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about a Gale Warning over the western Atlantic, and a heavy rain
    event over the southern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

    A surface trough extends from a 1014 mb low pressure near 24N69W
    across central Hispaniola into the north-central Caribbean.
    Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 20N
    to 31N between 62W and 73W. NE of this broad area of low
    pressure, a stationary front extends from 31N59W to 27N74W. This front
    is also supporting the convection mentioned above. The remainder
    subtropical Atlantic is under the influence of the Azores High
    ridge, which is supporting moderate to fresh NE to E winds E of
    50W, except locally strong in the vicinity of the Canary Islands
    and near Cape Verde. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds are to the
    north of the frontal boundary along with moderate to rough seas
    to 11 ft.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a tightening pressure gradient will
    continue to develop across the northwestern zones today as strong
    high pressure builds southward over the western Atlantic, and low
    pressure deepens near the southern Bahamas southwest of a cold
    front along 30N moving slowly southeastward into the area. This
    setup is expected to induce widespread fresh to near gale-force NE
    to E winds and rough to very rough seas, with winds reaching
    gale- force over much of the waters north of 28N and between 60W
    and 75W early Sun through Sun night. The front is expected to
    stall from near Bermuda to the central Bahamas by Mon, with winds
    and seas diminishing very slowly through mid week. Mariners are
    urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine conditions, and
    take the necessary precautions to avoid the affected areas.

    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.
