    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Wed Nov 4 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.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A sharp trough is analyzed this
    evening from 29N64W to 19N65W, underneath an upper trough
    extending from Bermuda southwestward over the Bahamas and S
    Florida. A 1010 mb low is analyzed along the trough near 26N66W.
    Recent buoy observations and scatterometer data showed strong to
    near-gale E to NE winds N of 26N between 55W and 70W, while recent
    altimeter data showed 8-11 ft seas between the Bahamas and
    Bermuda. As the low strengthens today, the pressure gradient is
    expected to yield near-gale to gale-force NE to E winds beginning
    this afternoon, roughly over the waters N of 29N between 60W and
    70W. Seas are expected to build to 10-15 ft with these winds
    through Thu as the low pressure drifts east-northeastward. The
    low pressure could acquire some subtropical characteristics late
    this week as it continues to shift slowly E-NE across the sub-
    tropical Atlantic. Gale-force winds may continue across northern
    portions of this expected broad low pressure into late Sat.

    Please read the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at website: https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html

    Heavy Precipitation across Central America: Deep-layer troughing
    over the northwestern Caribbean and eastern Pacific will interact
    with enhanced low-level moisture over the western Caribbean
    during the next several days. This will favor heavy precipitation
    developing across Central America, northern South America, as well
    as Jamaica through Friday. The heaviest precipitation is expected
    across the Pacific coasts of Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua,
    with the bulk of precipitation occurring today and Thursday. Heavy
    rainfall will lead to possible life-threatening flash flooding
    and landslides. Please refer to your local weather agency and the
    International Desk at the Weather Prediction Center for more
    details.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic from coast of Guinea near
    11N15W, and continues southwestward to 07N21W. The ITCZ and
    continues from that point to 09.5N61W. Scattered moderate
    convection is occurring along and within 250 nm of these features
    generally E of 53W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A cold front reaches from the SE LA coast near 29N91W to the NE
    Mexico coast just north of Tampico. Moderate to fresh N to NE
    winds follow the front. Scattered moderate convection is occurring
    in the far NE Gulf, driven by convergent surface winds in the E
    Gulf and a pre-frontal trough near the FL Panhandle. Surface
    ridging prevails elsewhere across much of the Gulf, supporting
    gentle to moderate or weaker winds and 2-5 ft seas.

    For the forecast, a cold front across the NW Gulf will weaken and
    dissipate by tonight. Moderate northwest to north winds prevail
    west of the front. The next cold front is expected to move across
    the Gulf waters this weekend. Fresh to strong north winds will
    develop west of the front and west of 93W on Sun, with moderate
    north to northeast winds elsewhere behind the front.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Deep-layer troughing across the northwestern Caribbean supports
    scattered moderate to strong convection from 08N to 18N between
    71W and 81W. Elsewhere, the pressure gradient between surface
    ridging in the Atlantic and the 1009 mb Colombia low supports
    moderate to fresh trades across the north-central and NW Caribbean
    N of 14N between 75W and 82W. Gentle to moderate or weaker trades
    prevail across the remainder of the basin. Seas of 1-4 ft are seen
    across the Caribbean.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the area is
    supporting moderate trade winds, along with moderate seas, over
    the central and eastern Caribbean. Light to gentle winds and
    slight to moderate seas are over the western Caribbean. The
    pressure gradient will further loosen across the area today. This
    will diminish the moderate trades across the central and eastern
    Caribbean.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section for information on a Gale
    Warning in the western Atlantic.

    A frontal boundary extends from a 1013 mb low near 30N35W to
    26N38W to 28N64W. Scattered moderate to strong convection is
    occurring from 23N to 30N between 54W and 63W, with additional
    scattered moderate convection occurring farther east along the
    front from 21N to 29N between 37W and 54W. In addition to the
    winds and seas described in the Special Features section above,
    moderate to fresh NE winds and 5-8 ft seas prevail across much of
    the waters W of 70W. Fresh to strong SW winds and seas of 5-8 ft
    prevail E of the front across areas N of 27N and W of 30W. Gentle
    to moderate or weaker trades and 3-6 ft seas prevail elsewhere
    across the basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a 1010 mb low pressure centered
    near 26N66W will track slowly east- northeastward during the rest
    of the week and the weekend. A broad zone of strong to gale- force
    winds, and rough to very rough seas, peaking near 14 ft, will
    develop north of the low pressure and expand eastward from this
    afternoon through Sun, impacting the waters mainly north of about
    27N. The gale-force winds will likely be north of 29N from this
    afternoon through Sat night. A weakening cold front will move
    across the waters between Florida and 75W Fri and Fri night, then
    dissipate Sat and Sat night.

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

    Western and Central Atlantic:
    A non-tropical low pressure area is located a few hundred miles
    south of Bermuda. Environmental conditions could support this
    system gradually acquiring subtropical characteristics through this
    weekend while it moves slowly eastward over the western and central
    subtropical Atlantic. By early next week, environmental conditions
    are forecast to become unfavorable for further development. For
    more information on this system, including Gale Warnings, please see
    High Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 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.

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.
