    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    2230 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: Satellite imagery this evening
    suggests that an area of low pressure is beginning to develop in
    the vicinity of 27N67W, along an old frontal boundary that
    extends from 25.5N60W to 27N66W and through the central Bahamas.
    A very tight pressure gradient is developing between the low
    pressure and 1030 mb high pressure to its north near 38N67W. As
    the low develops tonight 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 09.5N13.5W, and continues southwestward to 06N19W to
    06N22W, where it transitions to the ITCZ and continues to 07N29N
    to 11N59W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is
    occurring E of 30W between 04N and 08N, and along and within 200
    nm N of the ITCZ between 34W and 59W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The interaction between strong high pressure over the eastern
    United States and a trough over the northeastern Gulf is
    maintaining fresh E to SE winds and seas of 4-6 ft over the NE
    Gulf from offshore Tampa Bay to near Mobile Bay. Gentle to
    moderate south to southeast winds and slight seas are elsewhere.
    Scattered moderate convection is ongoing across the coastal
    waters of west-central and southwest Florida. Scattered showers
    and thunderstorms are also moving into the SE Texas and SW
    Louisiana coastal waters, just ahead of a cold front still inland
    there and an upper-level trough and moving across the central US.

    For the forecast, fresh to locally strong E winds over the NE
    Gulf will shift north of the area tonight. A cold front will
    enter the NW Gulf tonight 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 N 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 12N to 18N between
    74W and 84W. Scattered convection earlier this afternoon N of 20N
    and across large portions of Cuba has diminished in intensity this
    evening. In the SW Caribbean, broad cyclonic winds prevail W of
    76W and extend to near 20N. Elsewhere, the modest pressure
    gradient across the central and eastern basin supports only moderate
    to fresh trades and 4-6 ft seas. Gentle to moderate or weaker
    winds and 2-4 ft seas prevail elsewhere across NW portions.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the basin is
    supporting moderate to locally fresh 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 as low pressure develops across the Atlantic S of
    Bermuda. 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.

    A frontal boundary is analyzed from a 1014 mb low near 31.5N35W
    to 27.5N40W to 25.5N60W, where it then transitions to a shear
    line that extends westward through the central Bahamas and to the
    Florida Keys. Scattered moderate convection is occurring N of 22N
    between 50W and 68W. Winds quickly increase from gentle to
    moderate trades S of the front and shear line to fresh to strong
    NE to E winds north of these features, due to strong high pressure
    to the north. Seas of 8-11 ft are seen N of the front and shear
    line between 58W and 77W, with 5-8 ft seas in NE swell south of
    these features. Further to the east and north of the front, seas
    are 7 to 10 ft east of 50W. The remainder of the Atlantic is
    seeing gentle to moderate or weaker trade winds and seas of 4-7
    ft in N to NE swell.

    For the forecast west of 55W, strong high pressure is centered
    north of Bermuda and extends a ridge W to E along 38N. Broad low
    pressure is expected to develop along the frontal boundary
    southwest of Bermuda, roughly from 27N to 28N, tonight through
    Wed, and track slowly east-northeastward during the rest of the
    week and into 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
    Sat, 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.

    06N22W, where it transitions to the ITCZ and continues to 07N29N
    to 11N59W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is
    occurring E of 30W between 04N and 08N, and along and within 200
    nm N of the ITCZ between 34W and 59W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The interaction between strong high pressure over the eastern
    United States and a trough over the northeastern Gulf is
    maintaining fresh E to SE winds and seas of 4-6 ft over the NE
    Gulf from offshore Tampa Bay to near Mobile Bay. Gentle to
    moderate south to southeast winds and slight seas are elsewhere.
    Scattered moderate convection is ongoing across the coastal
    waters of west-central and southwest Florida. Scattered showers
    and thunderstorms are also moving into the SE Texas and SW
    Louisiana coastal waters, just ahead of a cold front still inland
    there and an upper-level trough and moving across the central US.

    For the forecast, fresh to locally strong E winds over the NE
    Gulf will shift north of the area tonight. A cold front will
    enter the NW Gulf tonight 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 N 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 12N to 18N between
    74W and 84W. Scattered convection earlier this afternoon N of 20N
    and across large portions of Cuba has diminished in intensity this
    evening. In the SW Caribbean, broad cyclonic winds prevail W of
    76W and extend to near 20N. Elsewhere, the modest pressure
    gradient across the central and eastern basin supports only moderate
    to fresh trades and 4-6 ft seas. Gentle to moderate or weaker
    winds and 2-4 ft seas prevail elsewhere across NW portions.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the basin is
    supporting moderate to locally fresh 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 as low pressure develops across the Atlantic S of
    Bermuda. 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.

    A frontal boundary is analyzed from a 1014 mb low near 31.5N35W
    to 27.5N40W to 25.5N60W, where it then transitions to a shear
    line that extends westward through the central Bahamas and to the
    Florida Keys. Scattered moderate convection is occurring N of 22N
    between 50W and 68W. Winds quickly increase from gentle to
    moderate trades S of the front and shear line to fresh to strong
    NE to E winds north of these features, due to strong high pressure
    to the north. Seas of 8-11 ft are seen N of the front and shear
    line between 58W and 77W, with 5-8 ft seas in NE swell south of
    these features. Further to the east and north of the front, seas
    are 7 to 10 ft east of 50W. The remainder of the Atlantic is
    seeing gentle to moderate or weaker trade winds and seas of 4-7
    ft in N to NE swell.

    For the forecast west of 55W, strong high pressure is centered
    north of Bermuda and extends a ridge W to E along 38N. Broad low
    pressure is expected to develop along the frontal boundary
    southwest of Bermuda, roughly from 27N to 28N, tonight through
    Wed, and track slowly east-northeastward during the rest of the
    week and into 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
    Sat, 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.

    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.
