    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Fri Jul 10 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
    1800 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the central
    Atlantic high pressure and lower pressures over northern South
    America will support strong to near gale-force northeast to east
    trades over the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of
    Venezuela into early next week. Winds are forecast to pulse to
    gale- force off the coast of Colombia and the Gulf of Venezuela
    tonight and again Sat night. Seas are expected to peak to around
    14 ft off Colombia Sat night.

    Please refer to the latest NWS High Seas Forecast at website:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A central Atlantic tropical wave extends from near 16N51W to
    03N53W. It is moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are seen near the wave axis.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave is along 74W south of 19N
    moving westward at about 15 kt. The wave appears to enhance some
    convection over Hispaniola, eastern Cuba, and the nearby waters
    including the Windward Passage.

    Another central Caribbean tropical wave is along 83W south of 19N
    moving westward also at about 15 kt. Numerous moderate to strong
    convection continues across the far SW Caribbean offshore of
    Colombia, Panama, Costa Rica, and SE Nicaragua where the East
    Pacific monsoon trough is analyzed and the wave appears to enhance
    convection. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are near its
    northern portion from 15N to 20N and between 80W and 84W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 18N16W and continues southwestward to 08N28W,
    where it transitions to the ITCZ. The ITCZ then runs from 08N28W
    to 09N50W. Scattered moderate convection is occurring from 06N to
    12N and E of 20W. Elsewhere, no significant convection is seen
    along either feature.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Combined support from an upper level trough over the SE US and a
    surface trough in the Bay of Campeche supports widely scattered
    showers and thunderstorms across the western and northern Gulf.
    Outside of convection, ridging dominates the basin with gentle to
    moderate or weaker E to SE winds and slight seas prevalent across
    the region.

    For the forecast, a weak ridge axis extending westward from the
    Atlantic across the Gulf along 28N will change into next week.
    This will support gentle to moderate east to southeast winds south
    of 26N, and mostly light to gentle southeast to south- southwest
    winds north of 26N through the period. Winds become mostly light
    and variable starting Mon over the north- central and NE Gulf.
    Pulsing fresh northeast to east winds are expected offshore the
    Yucatan peninsula each night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
    gale conditions forecast for offshore Colombia and in the Gulf
    of Venezuela, and the Tropical Waves section for details on
    convection in the Caribbean.

    The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and lower
    pressures over Colombia supports a large swath of fresh to strong
    trades and rough seas over the central to SW Caribbean. Winds near
    gale force are confirmed in the Gulf of Venezuela, per a recent
    scatterometer pass. Moderate to fresh trades and moderate seas
    prevail across the remainder of the Caribbean.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between central Atlantic
    high pressure and lower pressure over northern South America will
    support strong trades over the central Caribbean into next week.
    Winds will pulse to gale-force off Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela tonight and Sat night. Trades over the Gulf of Honduras
    will pulse to strong in the late afternoons and evenings through
    early next week. A pair of tropical waves will move across the
    basin through Sat.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A frontal boundary SE of Bermuda is aiding in the development of
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms N of 26N between 50W
    and 65W. An upper level trough also supports scattered shower and
    thunderstorm development over the southern Bahamas and the Turks
    and Caicos. Ridging dominates much of the remaining Atlantic, with
    a large and persistent Saharan Dust plume also helping to keep
    much of the remaining basin free of convection. Moderate to fresh
    trades and moderate seas prevail S of 22N and W of 35W, as well as
    N of 22N and E of 35W. Fresh to locally strong trades are
    confirmed by a recent scatterometer pass from 10N to 20N between
    50W and the Lesser Antilles. Gentle to moderate or weaker winds
    and 2-5 ft seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will remain
    dominant through the period, supporting moderate to fresh trades S
    of 23N, with mainly gentle winds to the N. Pulsing strong winds
    are expected each N offshore Hispaniola and in the Windward
    Passage. An upper-level low pressure will move W from the Bahamas
    and Florida through the weekend, bringing thunderstorms with
    locally strong winds and frequent lightning.

    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.
