    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Fri Oct 2 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
    0400 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 35W from 06N to 20N, moving westward at
    about 10 to 15 kt. Scattered showers are near the wave axis.

    A tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean with axis along
    68W, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. The wave is helping to
    induce some convective activity mainly N of 16N.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 14N17W and continues
    westward to 08N29W. The ITCZ is analyzed from 06N38W to 02N50W.
    Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is noted from 05N
    to 11N between 10W and 20W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    An upper-level low currently over the Yucatan Peninsula, combined
    with abundant tropical moisture, is promoting scattered showers
    and thunderstorms over the E Gulf. Fresh to strong winds are noted
    with this convection. Another area of convection has flared-up
    over the Yucatan Peninsula where a surface trough is noted. A
    frontal boundary is approaching the NW Gulf waters, with scattered
    moderate convection noted ahead of it along the coasts of Texas
    and NW Mexico. Otherwise, a ridge dominates the Gulf waters
    supporting moderate to fresh E to SE winds and moderate seas.

    For the forecast, the upper-level low will continue to induce
    scattered showers and thunderstorms over the E Gulf tonight,
    spreading to the N Gulf on Fri and Sat. A tightening pressure
    gradient will increase SE winds up to fresh to locally strong over
    the E and central Gulf through Fri. A weak cold moving across
    Texas will weaken the pressure gradient, allowing the winds across
    the Gulf to diminish Fri into the weekend. On Sun, the front will
    reach the NW Gulf, extending from Alabama to just offshore the
    Texas-Mexico border to near Veracruz on Mon morning. Winds behind
    the front should only be N to NE moderate to locally fresh.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    An upper level low over the Yucatan Peninsula is drawing abundant
    moisture from the eastern Pacific into the western Caribbean,
    which continues to fuel scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms mainly W of 80W. This convective activity is more
    concentrated over western Cuba and the Yucatan Channel. High
    pressure north of the area combined with the Colombian low is
    supporting moderate to fresh easterly trade winds across much of
    the Caribbean Sea with moderate seas.

    For the forecast, the upper-level low will support scattered
    showers and thunderstorms west of 80W through Fri. A moderate
    pressure gradient between the Bermuda High north of the Caribbean
    and the Colombian Low will force fresh to locally strong trades
    over the S central Caribbean and over the Gulf of Honduras through
    Sat night. As a frontal boundary reaches the waters north of the
    Bahamas, the pressure gradient will slacken again from Sun through
    early next week leading to only moderate trades across the
    Caribbean.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Divergence aloft and abundant tropical moisture continues to
    sustain scattered showers and thunderstorms west of 70W.
    To the E, a surface trough is analyzed from 27N57W to 20N63W.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted along the northern half of
    the trough. A 1017 mb low is centered near 24N34W with no
    significant convection. The remainder of the forecast area is
    under the influence of a ridge, with the main high pressure center
    of 1028 mb located NE of the Azores. A 1021 mb high pressure is
    analyzed over the western Atlantic near 28N51W. Moderate to fresh
    E to SE winds are noted between the Bahamas and Cuba. Moderate to
    fresh NE winds are ahead of the tropical wave located near 35W.
    Elsewhere moderate or weaker winds prevail with moderate seas.

    For the forecast west of 55W, scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms will remain possible across the waters west of 75W
    through at least Sat. Meanwhile, a surface trough - associated
    with the remnants of Fay - will support similar shower and
    thunderstorm activity over the next couple days north of 22N and
    east of 65W. Trades just north of Hispaniola will boost to fresh
    to locally strong tonight and Fri night. Otherwise, winds and seas
    will be quiescent through Mon. Looking ahead, a cold front may
    reach the waters off of NE Florida Tue morning with increasing
    winds and building seas behind the boundary.

    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    800 PM EDT Thu Oct 1 2026

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

    Subtropical Central Atlantic (Remnants of Fay):
    An area of low pressure associated with the remnants of former
    Tropical Storm Fay is located several hundred miles southeast of
    Bermuda. Despite ongoing thunderstorm activity, dry air and strong
    upper-level winds are expected to prevent significant re-development
    while it moves northwestward, to the east of Bermuda. Any formation
    chances should end by Sunday due to very strong upper-level winds.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 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

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
