    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Thu Oct 1 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
    1700 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave has been analyzed along 31W from
    06N to 20N, moving westward at about 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is observed from 09N to 15N between 26W and 38W.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave has been analyzed along 66W
    from 19N southward, moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered showers
    and isolated thunderstorms are occurring E of the wave axis to
    about 62W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 11N16W and continues
    to 11N36W. The ITCZ is analyzed from 10N44W to the coastal border
    of Venezuela and Guyana. Numerous moderate to strong convection is
    seen from 03N to 11N and E of 20W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Divergence aloft, abundant moisture, and a surface trough over the
    eastern Yucatan Peninsula combine to produce a few showers and
    thunderstorms over the SE Gulf waters S of 28N and E of 88W. A
    surface trough analyzed from the Bay of Campeche along the E coast
    of Mexico supports more scattered showers and thunderstorms over
    the western Gulf waters. Otherwise, a modest pressure gradient
    supports moderate to fresh ESE winds and 3-6 ft seas across much
    of the Gulf.

    For the forecast, an upper-level low will promote scattered
    showers and isolated thunderstorms over the SE Gulf today,
    spreading to the N Gulf on Fri. A tightening pressure gradient
    will increase SE winds up to fresh to locally strong over the E
    and central Gulf tonight into Fri night. An weak cold moving
    across Texas will weaken the pressure gradient, allowing the winds
    across the Gulf to diminish on Sat and Sun. On Sun, the front
    will reach the NW Gulf, extending from the Florida panhandle 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...

    Please see the Tropical Waves section for details on convection in
    the eastern Caribbean.

    A middle to upper level low over the Yucatan Peninsula is drawing
    abundant moisture from the E Pacific into the W Caribbean, which
    continues to fuel scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms W
    of 75W. The East Pacific monsoon trough also extends across the
    far SW Caribbean, supporting scattered strong convection S of 13N
    between 75W and 82W. High pressure north of the area is
    supporting moderate to fresh easterly trade winds across much of
    the Caribbean and moderate seas. Winds up to strong speeds are
    observed off NW Colombia and in the Gulfs of Venezuela and
    Honduras.

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

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Divergence aloft and abundant moisture continues to sustain
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms west of 70W.
    Meanwhile, the remnants of Fay are interacting with an upper-level
    low to produce scattered moderate to strong convection from 22N
    to 28N and between 53W and 60W. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds
    and seas of 6-8 ft are found in the area described. To the SE, a
    surface trough analyzed from 18N33W to 11N43W is supporting
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms along and near the
    trough axis.

    In the rest of the tropical Atlantic, moderate to fresh easterly
    winds prevail S of 20N and west of 30W, with moderate to fresh NE
    winds prevailing across all areas E of 30W away from the monsoon
    trough. Areas north of 20N are seeing gentle to moderate or
    weaker winds prevail, outside of the Bahamas where a surface
    trough along the FL Peninsula is forcing moderate to fresh SE
    winds. Seas are 6-10 ft across areas N of 20N and E of 30W, where
    post-frontal northerly swell is supporting these higher wave
    heights. Seas are 4-7 ft across much of the remaining Atlantic
    away from the remnants of Fay.

    For the forecast west of 55W, scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms will remain possible across the waters west of 75W
    through at least Fri. 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 Mon night, with increasing
    winds and building seas behind the boundary.

    Tropical Weather Outlook
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    200 PM EDT Thu Oct 1 2026

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

    Subtropical Central Atlantic (Remnants of Fay):
    A low pressure area associated with the remnants of former Tropical
    Storm Fay is located several hundred miles southeast of Bermuda.
    While thunderstorm activity has increased since yesterday, 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.
