    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Tue Sep 15 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
    1543 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A well defined tropical wave is along 56W, south of 21N, moving
    westward at 10-15 kt. Moderate to fresh E winds along with seas
    4 to 6 ft are found in the vicinity of the wave. Scattered
    moderate to isolated strong convection is observed from 11N to 21N
    and between 51W and 59W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 13N17W and continues
    to 07N45W. The ITCZ extends from 07N45W to 10N54W. Scattered
    moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 05N to 20N
    and east of 26W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A few showers and isolated thunderstorms are occurring in the
    eastern Gulf waters and off Veracruz. A weak high pressure over
    the N Gulf supports moderate E to SE winds and 3 to 5 ft seas in
    the Bay of Campeche. Elsewhere, light to gentle winds and slight
    seas prevail.

    For the forecast, a strong high pressure over the eastern United
    States will build southward behind a weakening cold front that
    will spread across the eastern Gulf waters. The tighter pressure
    gradient will support fresh to locally strong NE-E winds and rough
    seas starting in the NE Gulf tonight and spreading over the
    northern Gulf waters through Thu night. Elsewhere, a diurnal
    trough will move westward offshore the Yucatan Peninsula each
    evening through Thu night, bringing nightly pulses of fresh to
    locally strong NE winds. Conditions will improve across the basin
    Fri, allowing for moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate
    seas during the weekend.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The interaction between an large upper-level low pressure system
    over the north-central Caribbean and tropical moisture support
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms south of Puerto Rico.
    This environment is also generating a few showers in the eastern
    Caribbean, bringing some rain to Puerto Rico and the Virgin
    Islands.

    High pressure north of the area sustains fresh to strong easterly
    trade winds and moderate to rough seas across much of the central
    Caribbean. Moderate to locally fresh NE-E winds and moderate seas
    are occurring in the eastern Caribbean, Windward Passage and lee
    of Cuba. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas
    prevail.

    For the forecast, tight pressure gradient between the subtropical
    ridge located north of the islands and lower pressures in
    Colombia will support fresh to locally near gale-force easterly
    trade winds and moderate to rough seas across much of the central
    Caribbean, with moderate to fresh trades elsewhere from 11N to
    18N. These conditions will persist through the workweek.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas
    are expected, except moderate to fresh mainly in the evenings near
    the Windward Passage and Lee of Cuba through midweek. Winds may
    diminish across the basin by the end of the week into the upcoming
    weekend as the pressures gradient relaxes, with seas also
    slightly subsiding.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A pre-frontal trough is noted ahead of an approaching cold front
    over the NW waters producing scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms north of 27.5N and between 68W and 76W. Meanwhile,
    a large upper-level low over and east of the SE Bahamas is
    supporting scattered showers south of 26N and between 61W and
    72W. High pressure dominates the rest of the SW North Atlantic,
    sustaining moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate.

    Another upper-level low over the central Atlantic interacts with a
    surface trough analyzed along 51.5W and north of 26N, producing
    numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms north of 26N and
    between 46W and 54W. Environmental conditions are forecast to
    become more conducive for development in a few days, and a
    tropical depression could form late this week as the system moves
    slowly west-northwestward over the subtropical Atlantic. The
    system has a medium chance of formation over the next 7 days. A
    strong subtropical ridge centered north of the Azores extends
    southward into the central and eastern Atlantic, supporting
    moderate to fresh easterly winds and moderate seas between 25W
    and 53.5W. Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas are
    prevalent elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front is approaching the
    waters off NE Florida and then will become stationary from Bermuda
    to the NW Bahamas into Wed. A tight pressure gradient between the
    building ridge over the eastern United States and the front will
    result in fresh to locally strong NE winds and seas to build to
    rough N of the Bahamas and W of 70W through early Thu. Conditions
    will improve later Thu into Fri. During the middle to later
    portion of the week, a trough of low pressure is forecast to move
    west- northwestward into the NE portion of the waters, bringing
    thunderstorms while also weakening the high and pressure gradient.

    Marine Weather Discussion

    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
