    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Thu Nov 12 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
    1900 UTC.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough extends from 10N14W southwestward to 05.5N21W.
    The ITCZ extends from 05.5N21W to just NE of the coast of Brazil
    at 03N48W. Scattered moderate convection is found from 06N to 12N
    between Africa and 20W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A weak trough over the western Gulf is inducing scattered
    moderate convection offshore the Texas and Louisiana coasts, as
    well as offshore NE Mexico. Moderate NW winds are found W of the
    trough over the western Gulf nearshore waters. Elsewhere, mainly
    high pressure dominates, with gentle NE winds, along with seas of
    3 ft or less, except to 4 ft W of the trough.

    For the forecast, a strong cold front will reach the Texas coast
    early on Thu, then sweep across the basin through Thu night
    exiting the area early on Fri. Fresh to locally strong north winds
    and building seas are expected in its wake. High pressure will
    build southward into the region this weekend, with increasing
    easterly winds as the high shifts eastward Sun. Strong east winds
    are likely across portions of the northern Gulf starting on Sun as
    the pressure gradient increases ahead of an approaching weather
    system, with an associated cold front that will move offshore the
    Texas coast by Mon morning. The strong east winds will shift to
    mostly the NE Gulf Mon and Mon night as the front and a trough
    translate eastward across the Gulf.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between high pressure centered north of
    the region and lower pressure over South America is leading to
    fresh to strong trades over the central portion of the basin from
    11N to 18N, with moderate to fresh trades elsewhere, except
    weaker near the coast of Central America and in the NW Caribbean.
    Seas are 6 to 8 ft in the central Caribbean from 11N to 18N, and
    4 to 6 ft elsewhere, except 2 to 4 ft over the NW Caribbean.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted in the NW basin between
    Cuba and Honduras and Belize due to upper-level divergence.

    For the forecast, fresh to strong trades and locally rough seas
    will prevail over the south-central Caribbean into Thu night, with
    mainly moderate winds and seas elsewhere. The pressure gradient
    will weaken starting Fri as a cold front approaches the Yucatan
    Channel, leading to a weakening of the trades. Moderate northeast
    to east winds and slightly building seas are likely behind this
    front over the northwestern Caribbean this weekend.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A cold front extends from 29N45W to 26N60W. Isolated showers are
    associated with a pre-frontal trough N of 28N around 41W,
    otherwise little sensible weather is associated with this front.
    To the east, a cold front extends from the Iberian Peninsula
    through 31N11W to 22N41W. Ahead of this front, fresh to strong SW
    winds prevail with moderate to fresh winds NW of the front to 26W.
    Rough to very rough associated seas are found N of 20N and E of
    37W. Upper-level divergence is leading to scattered to numerous
    moderate convection N of the Greater Antilles to 26N, between 63W
    and 74W. Across the remainder of the waters, weak high pressure
    is leading to moderate or weaker winds and mainly moderate seas.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a strong cold front is expected to
    move off the southeastern U.S. coast Thu night accompanied by
    fresh to strong winds and building seas on either side of it. The
    front is expected to reach from near 31N64W to eastern Cuba by Sat
    afternoon, and from near 30N55W to 25N64W and stationary to
    eastern Cuba by early on Sun. Fresh to strong southwest winds will
    be east of the cold front along with seas possibly peaking to
    around 12 ft on Sat. The cold front portion will shift east of 55W
    late Sun while the stationary portion weakens. Fresh to strong
    northeast winds are expected north of the stationary front to near
    28N through Mon night.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1122 AM EDT Mon May 17 2021

    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

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
