    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0300 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 through Wed, the pressure gradient is expected to yield
    near-gale to gale-force NE to E winds beginning Wed afternoon,
    roughly over the waters from 29N to 31N between 63W and 69W. Seas
    are expected to build to 10-16 ft (3-5 m) 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 tonight 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 axis reaches the Atlantic from coast of Sierra
    Leone near 11N14.5W, and continues southwestward to 08N20W to
    06N22W, where it transitions to the ITCZ and continues to 06N25N
    to 09N60W. Scattered moderate convection is occurring from 04N to
    10N between 20W and 45W.

    ...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 is entering the NW Gulf and will
    continue moving across the NW Gulf through Wed, then weaken and
    dissipate Wed night. Moderate northwest to north winds are
    expected west of the front. Another cold front is expected to move
    across the Gulf waters Fri through Sun night. Fresh to strong
    north winds will develop west of the front and west of 93W Sat and
    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 12N82W. 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 by
    midweek. 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 the upper 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 stationary front extends from 1015 mb low pressure
    near 29N36W to 25N55W. 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, broad low pressure is expected to
    develop along the frontal boundary southwest of Bermuda, roughly
    from 27N to 28N through Wed, 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 16 ft, will develop north of the low pressure and expand
    eastward Wed through Sun, impacting the waters mainly north of
    about 27N. The gale-force winds will likely be north of 29N from
    Wed 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.

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

    Western and Central Atlantic:
    An area of low pressure is expected to form over the next day or so
    along a weakening front a few hundred miles south of Bermuda. This
    system could gradually acquire some subtropical characteristics late
    this week or 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...20 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 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
    coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by
    telephone:

    .GULF OF MEXICO...
    None.

    .CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
