    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Mon Oct 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    2345 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: A tightening pressure gradient will
    continue to develop across the western and central offshore zones
    tonight as strong high pressure builds southward over the
    western Atlantic, and low pressure deepens ENE of the central
    Bahamas along a stationary front that extends from 30N58W to
    31N61W to low pressure near 29N66W 1010 mb, and continues to
    28N70W to 26N75W and to 24N80.5W. This setup is inducing
    widespread strong to gale- force NE to E winds and very rough
    seas building to 20 ft. Gale-force winds to 40 kt prevail north
    of 27N between 61.5N and 72.5W. Strong to gale winds north of
    27N between 61W and 80W will continue through early Mon morning.
    The portion of the front east of 70W is expected to begin to
    lift northward tonight through Mon morning, and stall from near
    Bermuda to W Cuba Mon and Mon night, then drift southeastward Tue
    through Wed night. Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S.
    will shift slowly eastward and across the waters east of northern
    Florida during this time, and maintain fresh to strong winds and
    rough to very rough seas in NE swell to the north of the front
    through the period. Mariners are urged to remain alert to these
    hazardous marine conditions, and take the necessary precautions
    to avoid these affected areas. Please, see the latest NWS High
    Seas Forecast issued by the National Hurricane Center at website
    https:www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for further details.

    Heavy Rainfall in the Northern Caribbean: A mid to upper-level
    trough over Florida, the northwestern Caribbean and the Bahamas
    combined with abundant tropical moisture will support periods of
    heavy rain over eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, the southern
    Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands through Mon. Latest
    model guidance indicates that the trough will begin to weaken
    and meander northward. The main areas that are expected to be
    impacted by abundant tropical moisture and heavy rainfall will
    then shift to north and east of Cuba over the southern Bahamas,
    Turks and Caicos, the Windward Passage and Hispaniola. The heavy
    rainfall will raise concerns for dangerous and life-threatening
    flash flooding. Please refer to your local weather services and
    the International Desk at the Weather Prediction Center for more
    information.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis extends from the coast of Africa near
    15N17W southwestward to 07N31W. The ITCZ axis extends from 07N45W
    to 10N60W. Scattered moderate convection is within 60 nm of
    06N22N and within 60 nm 10N27W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A strong ridge extends over the eastern United States and into
    the central Gulf, and is supporting fresh to strong northeast to
    east winds across most of the eastern Gulf, and gentle to
    moderate winds across the western Gulf along with seas of 6 to 9
    ft. Elsewhere, mainly moderate winds prevail along seas 4 to 6
    ft.

    For the forecast, a tight pressure gradient between the high
    pressure and a stationary front across the NW Bahamas and into
    the eastern Florida Straits will maintain fresh to strong NE
    winds and rough seas over the eastern Gulf, including the Straits
    of Florida through Wed.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about the potential for heavy rainfall over eastern Cuba,
    Hispaniola, and Jamaica, the Turks and Caicos and locations farther
    east through the early part of the upcoming week.

    A couple of troughs extend southward from the western Atlantic
    into the central Caribbean: one along 71W north of 16N, and the
    other along 76.5W north 16N. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
    are between these troughs north of 16N. This activity is being
    supported by upper-level divergence present east of a broad mid to
    upper-level trough that covers the western Caribbean. Trades across
    the northwestern and southwestern Caribbean are of moderate to fresh
    speeds while northeast to east winds of similar speeds are east of
    74W. Seas across the basin are mostly slight to moderate.

    For the forecast, the aforementioned mid to upper-level trough
    will slowly shift eastward through Tue and support scattered to
    numerous showers and thunderstorms over the central Caribbean and
    Windward Passage. Meanwhile, a broad surface trough extends from
    the central Bahamas southward across eastern Cuba to a 1009 mb
    low north of Jamaica near 19.5N76.5W, continuing to the SW
    Caribbean, and will drift eastward through Tue. Strong high
    pressure across the eastern U.S. will continue to build southward
    across Florida and the Gulf of America through early next week,
    leading to moderate to fresh N winds and moderate seas across the
    western Caribbean W of the trough through late Tue. Expect rough
    seas in large N swell across the Yucatan Channel late tonight
    through early Tue. Otherwise, moderate to fresh east to southeast
    winds in the E Caribbean will diminish to gentle to moderate
    speeds by Mon evening.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about a Gale Warning over the western Atlantic, and on heavy
    rainfall expected for the southern Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos
    Islands, the Windward Passage, and Hispaniola.

    A stationary front extends from near 30N58W to 31N61W to low
    pressure near 29N66W 1010 mb, and continues to 28N70W to 26N75W and
    to 24N80.5W. A trough then extends southward from this low to the
    Hispaniola adjacent waters. Another trough extends from eastern Cuba
    to a 1009 mb low just south of eastern Cuba near 19N76W. These
    features are supporting scattered moderate convection north of 20N
    and between 58W and 74W. Widespread strong to gale-force winds and
    rough seas are north of the front and along the trough or across
    many of the offshores north of about of 27N. Otherwise, the Azores
    high pressure ridge dominates the remainder Atlantic subtropical
    waters, providing mainly moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas,
    except for fresh to strong winds funneling through the Canary
    Islands and west of Cape Verde where rough seas are ongoing.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a large area of strong to gale-
    force NE to E winds will continue through near midnight across
    the western and central offshore zones, along and N of a
    stationary front extending from 31N60W to the NW Bahamas near
    25N78W to the eastern Straits of Florida. Very rough seas to 20
    ft are expected N of the front between 67W and 74W. The portion
    of the front E of 70W is expected to begin to lift northward
    tonight through Mon morning, and stall from near Bermuda to W
    Cuba Mon and Mon night, then drift southeastward Tue through Wed
    night. Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S. will shift
    slowly eastward and into the NW Atlantic during this time, and
    maintain fresh to strong winds and rough to very rough seas in NE
    swell to the north of the front through the period. Mariners are
    urged to remain alert to these hazardous marine conditions, and
    take the necessary precautions to avoid these affected areas.

    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.
