    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Fri Jul 3 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
    2220 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 22W, south of 16N,
    moving W at 5 to 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted
    from 06.5N to 11N between 20W and 30W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 55W, south of 16N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate isolated strong
    convection is noted from 11N to 13.5N between 53W and 61W.

    A Caribbean tropical wave is along 84W-85W, south of 20N and
    extending into the tropical eastern Pacific, moving westward at
    15 to 20 kt. Scattered to numerous moderate to strong convection
    is along the monsoon trough near the coast of Costa Rica, and
    extends ahead of the wave across Central America and into the
    adjacent Pacific waters.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 21N16.5W and continues southwestward to 06.5N35W.
    The ITCZ extends from 06.5N35W to 06N45W to 9.5N53W. Scattered
    moderate convection is evident from 06.5N to 12N E of 19W and into
    western Africa, and from 06N to 10N and between 30W and 35W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Weak high pressure extends from the western Atlantic southwestward
    across the SE U.S. and the northern Gulf waters, supporting
    moderate or lighter winds and slight seas across the entire
    basin. Divergence aloft is supporting a few showers and isolated
    thunderstorms over the western Bay of Campeche and Mexican coastal
    waters south of Tampico. Similar activity is also noted weakening
    across the NE Gulf. Scattered afternoon thunderstorms across
    southern Florida are moving westward and reaching the coasts
    between Tampa Bay and Naples.

    For the forecast, a weak surface ridge will dominate the basin
    through the forecast period. Fresh to strong NE to E winds will
    pulse off the NW Yucatan Peninsula nightly through early next week
    due to local effects associated with a daily surface trough.
    Gentle to moderate easterly winds will prevail across the western
    half of the Gulf while moderate or lighter winds are expected
    elsewhere E of 90W.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    High pressure across the NE Atlantic extends southwestward through
    30N39W and then west-southwestward to the NW Bahamas. The pressure
    gradient across the basin has tightened behind a tropical wave
    move moving into Central America, and supports fresh to strong
    easterly trade winds and seas of 8-11 ft in the central to SW
    Caribbean. The strongest winds and highest seas are found off NW
    Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly winds and moderate seas are
    occurring in the eastern Caribbean. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter
    winds and slight to moderate seas prevail. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are occurring ahead of a tropical wave approaching
    the Lesser Antilles, and are weakening as they cross the islands
    and encounter SW wind shear. Scattered thunderstorms are along the
    monsoon trough S of 10N across the coastal waters of western
    Panama and Costa Rica.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the subtropical
    ridge north of the basin and the Colombian Low will continue to
    support fresh to strong trade winds and moderate to rough seas
    over the central Caribbean through Fri morning, then diminish
    slightly through the weekend. Expect winds to reach near-gale
    force each night offshore of Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela. Otherwise, moderate to fresh trades will continue in
    the eastern Caribbean while moderate or weaker winds will prevail
    over the NW part of the basin. Active showers and thunderstorms
    are expected across the SE Caribbean tonight through Fri night as
    an upper-level trough sinks across the basin.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A weakening front remains stationary along about 31N, from 55W to
    1017 mb low pressure near 31.5N73W, then becomes a surface trough
    extends from 31N74W to the upper Florida Keys. Low level
    convergence south of the front, and along the trough are aiding
    in the development of scattered moderate convection between the NW
    Bahamas and SE Florida, and S of the front to 28N between 47W and
    72W. A 1033 mb high pressure system centered NE of the Azores
    extends a ridge southwestward through 30N39W then west-
    southwestward to the waters east of the Bahamas. Moderate to
    fresh easterly winds and seas of 4-8 ft are found south of 22N
    and west of 35W to the SE Bahamas. Moderate to fresh N-NE winds
    and seas of 5-8 ft are present north of 20N and east of 35W.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a surface trough extending from
    31.5N73W to the Upper Florida Keys will gradually dissipate
    tonight while drifting northwestward toward the southeastern U.S.
    coast. The Atlantic ridge will then build weakly from the central
    Atlantic westward into central Florida through early next week.
    This pattern will support moderate to fresh E-SE trade winds S of
    22N, and moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. Expect fresh to
    strong winds each late afternoon into the early evening hours near
    the coasts of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico.

    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. The new <br />web-based format allows the information to be updated once the <br />post-analysis for the season is complete. <br /><br />For more information, see Service Change Notice 25-22: Migration of <br />the Tropical Weather Summary Information from Text Product Format to <br />hurricanes.gov:<br /><br />https://www.weather.gov/media/notification/pdf_2025/scn25-<br />22_moving_info_from_tws_to_hurricanes.gov.pdf
