    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Fri Jul 31 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1000 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: A tight pressure gradient between the
    subtropical ridge north of the islands and lower pressures in NW
    South America will continue to support strong to near gale-force
    winds and rough seas in the central Caribbean during the next
    several days. Winds to gale-force in the offshore waters of
    Colombia will dissipate by 12Z this morning. Seas to around 14 ft
    are expected with these winds.

    Please read the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at website -
    https://www.nhc.gov/text/MIAHFSAT2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern to central Atlantic tropical wave is along 39W, south
    of 20N, moving westward at around 15 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is present from 08N to 12N between 37W and 41W.

    A tropical wave has been relocated to near 57W, south of 20N and
    moving westward at around 20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    occurring from 12N to 15N between 55W and 58W.

    An western Caribbean tropical wave is along 82W, south of 20N and
    moving quickly westward at around 15-20 kt. Any nearby convection
    is currently observed in the far eastern Tropical Pacific.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic from the northern coast of
    Mauritania at 21N17W to 12N44W. The ITCZ extends from 12N44W to
    14N57W. In addition to the convection described in the Tropical
    Waves section above, no convection is noted at this time.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure of 1018 mb is remaining over the central Gulf near
    25N86W within a broad ridge. As a result, gentle to moderate winds
    and slight seas prevail across the Gulf. Scattered moderate
    convection is occurring in the far NE Gulf, generated by a frontal
    boundary N of the region. Isolated moderate convection is also
    occurring ahead of a surface trough over the Yucatan Peninsula.

    For the forecast, the surface ridge will remain in control of the
    weather pattern across the Gulf region promoting gentle to
    moderate winds for the next several days. The exception will be
    fresh NE winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula
    nightly into the weekend. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
    will continue over the NE Gulf through the weekend as a frontal
    boundary remains just N of the area, and a very moist and
    unstable airmass prevails over region.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for details on the
    Gale Warning in effect for the south-central Caribbean.

    High pressure north of the islands forces fresh to near gale-
    force easterly trade winds and rough seas across the central
    Caribbean. Moderate to fresh easterly breezes and moderate seas
    are found elsewhere from 11N to 18N. Across the remainder of the
    basin, moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas
    prevail. Some convection is present near eastern Honduras and
    Nicaragua due to the proximity of a tropical wave and lower to mid
    level support.

    For the forecast, elsewhere outside of the Gale Warning area,
    fresh to near-gale trades will continue to expand in coverage
    across the central Caribbean through this morning as the pressure
    gradient between the Atlantic high pressure and low pressure in
    northern Colombian tightens. Fresh trades will continue elsewhere
    south S of about 18N through the rest of the forecast period.
    Fresh to strong winds will pulse in the Gulf of Honduras tonight,
    then to fresh speeds for the remainder of the period.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A frontal boundary is just north of the discussion waters.
    Associated scattered moderate isolated strong convection is north
    of 27N and west of 70W. Fresh to near gale force SW winds and 5
    to 9 ft seas are in this region as well, highest winds and seas in
    areas of convection. In the central Atlantic, a surface trough is
    analyzed from 29N55W to 21N60W. Upper level divergence in the
    same region as this trough is leading to scattered showers and
    thunderstorms generally from 20N to 30N between 50W and 60W.
    Otherwise, a broad subtropical ridge continues to dominate much of
    the tropical Atlantic waters. Moderate to fresh trades are noted
    north of the monsoon trough and ITCZ to 20N, except fresh to
    strong N to NE winds from offshore Africa to the Cabo Verde
    Islands, as well as along the northern coast of Hispaniola and
    immediately east of the Lesser Antilles. Seas are 6 to 9 ft across
    the areas of fresh to strong winds. Moderate or weaker winds and
    moderate seas dominate the remainder of the tropical Atlantic
    waters.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the surface ridge across the west
    and central Atlantic will change little through Sat night before
    it shifts northward to near 28N into early next week. The gradient
    between the ridge and a frontal boundary just NW of the forecast
    waters will continue to support fresh to strong SW winds along
    with scattered showers and thunderstorms north of 26N and west of
    70W for the rest of the week and into the weekend. Fresh to strong
    trades will pulse just north of Hispaniola at night and into the
    mornings through the upcoming weekend.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

    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.
