    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sun Jul 26 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
    0930 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave has emerged off Africa and now has an axis along
    19W from 10N to 17N, moving W at 15 to 20 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is noticed from 12N to 15N E of 20W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has an axis along 47W, from 08N
    to 22W, moving W at around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    noted E of this wave from 08N to 12N between 37W and 47W.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave has an axis along 64W, from
    the Virgin Islands into Venezuela, moving W at around 15 kt.
    Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is behind this
    wave from 12N to 19N between 54W and 64W, and is impacting much of
    the waters near the Lesser Antilles.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave has an axis along 74W, moving W
    at around 15 kt. No convection is currently associated with this
    wave.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 16N16W and continues
    to 12N25W to 10N37W. The ITCZ extends from 10N38W to 08N44W and
    from 07N49W to 05N54W. Scattered moderate isolated strong
    convection is occurring from 09N to 14N between 20W and 27W and
    08N to 12N between 29W and 37W. Scattered moderate convection is
    noted from 03N to 11N between 49W and 52W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A 1019 mb high pressure is centered over the NE Gulf near 28N87W.
    A surface trough over the Bay of Campeche is generating scattered
    moderate convection over the SW basin. Light to gentle
    anticyclonic winds dominate much of the basin, with moderate SE
    winds in the eastern Bay of Campeche, E of the surface through.
    Seas are 2 to 4 ft where these moderate winds are ongoing,
    otherwise generally 2 ft or less basin-wide.

    For the forecast, high pressure centered over the Gulf will bring
    gentle to moderate winds and slight seas to the basin into mid-
    week.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Convection in the NW Caribbean has dissipated overnight. See the
    above Tropical Waves sections for details on convection associated
    with a tropical wave in the far eastern basin.

    The pressure gradient between low pressure over NW Colombia and
    the western Atlantic ridge extending into the eastern Gulf of
    America is forcing fresh to locally strong trades over the
    central to SW Caribbean, generally S of 15N, where seas are 6 to
    8 ft between 72W and 80W. Across the eastern basin, moderate to
    locally fresh easterly trade winds prevail, with moderate seas of
    4 to 6 ft. Across the NW Caribbean, NE to E winds are moderate or
    weaker, with slight seas. The exception there is locally fresh E
    wind across the Gulf of Honduras, where seas are moderate ft.

    For the forecast, the aforementioned pressure gradient will
    support fresh to strong winds with moderate to locally rough seas
    across the south-central Caribbean today, with fresh winds in the
    Gulf of Honduras. The ridge will weaken and shift east tonight,
    allowing winds and seas to diminish over the central Caribbean
    into mid week. Looking ahead, winds and seas will increase again
    across the central Caribbean starting Wed as the ridge builds
    north of the area.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A tight pressure gradient between low pressure over the Saharan
    Desert and the 1029 mb Azores high has relaxed enough such that
    gale conditions have ended in the vicinity of the Canary Islands
    and near the Moroccan coast. As both the low and high weaken
    today, strong NE winds will gradually decrease to moderate to
    fresh into tonight. These higher winds have generated rough seas
    that impact waters from the Canary Islands S to 18N and W to about
    35W. These seas will slowly decay below 8 ft through the day.

    Convection E of Florida and N of and E of the Bahamas has
    generally dissipated overnight, but scattered moderate convection
    prevails within about 60 nm either side of a surface trough axis
    that extends from 31N45W to 27N52W. The pressure gradient between
    the Azores High and lower pressure along the ITCZ and monsoon
    trough is producing moderate to locally fresh trades along with
    moderate seas across much of the Atlantic S of 26W. Gentle to
    moderate or weaker winds and 3-6 ft seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front will move offshore the
    SE U.S. today, then stall. SW winds will increase and seas will
    build N of 25N through the middle of the week between this front
    and the Atlantic ridge to the east.

    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
    55W AND 64W...

    .SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

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.

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.
