    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Mon Oct 5 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0500 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 55W, south of 20N, moving westward at
    10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 10N to
    19N between 49W and 60W.

    A tropical wave is over the western Caribbean with axis along
    83W, south of 21N, moving westward at around 15 kt. A few showers
    and isolated thunderstorms are near the wave axis.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 18N16W and continues southwestward to 07N40W. The
    ITCZ extends from 07N40W to 11N53W. Aside from the convection
    associated with the tropical wave, scattered moderate convection
    is observed from 07N to 15N and E of 35W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front is over the NW Gulf. A weak low pressure of
    1010 mb is analyzed near 22N96W. A surface trough extends from the
    low center to the Big Bend of FL. Fresh to locally strong W to NW
    winds and moderate to locally rough seas are noted between the
    trough axis and the coast of Mexico. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are associated with these features. Similar
    convective activity is also noted over the NE Gulf. Numerous
    moderate to strong convection is affecting the Yucatan Peninsula.
    A ridge extending from the western Atlantic into Florida is
    supporting moderate to locally fresh SE to S winds and moderate
    seas across much of the central and eastern Gulf.

    For the forecast, fresh to locally strong N winds will follow a
    trough along the E Mexican offshores through Tue. Weak surface
    ridging over the NE Gulf will continue to shift E through late Tue
    ahead of a slowly moving front, which will stall over the
    northern Gulf Mon through Tue night. Fresh NE to E winds and
    building seas are forecast N of the front. Looking ahead, broad
    low pressure may develop over the far southwest Gulf Wed night
    into Thu. Although environmental conditions are expected to be
    only marginally conducive, some slow development is possible and a
    tropical depression could form late this week while the system
    drifts northward through Fri. Regardless of development, moderate
    to fresh winds and building seas are forecast over the western
    Gulf during that period.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    An upper-level trough over the Windward Passage and Hispaniola is
    helping to induce widely scattered showers and thunderstorms over
    these regions. High pressure north of the area, combined with the
    Colombian Low is supporting moderate to fresh easterly trade
    winds across much of the Caribbean Sea with moderate seas. Locally
    strong trades are seen offshore NW Colombia.

    For the forecast, weak ridging over the western Atlantic will
    support moderate to fresh E to SE winds across the northwest and
    central Caribbean through Tue morning, except offshore Colombia
    and the Gulf of Venezuela where fresh winds will pulse to strong
    speeds at night through Mon. Afterward, a cold front will move
    across the waters N of the region, further weakening the pressure
    gradient and supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds across the
    basin.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An area of showers, with embedded thunderstorms is located N of
    Puerto Rico, and is associated with an upper-level low. A surface
    trough is analyzed over the central Atlantic, and extends from
    31N32W to 28N38W to 29N44W. Scattered moderate convection is along
    the trough axis. The remainder of the Atlantic forecast waters is
    dominated by high pressure producing mainly gentle to moderate
    winds and moderate seas. Locally fresh NE winds are seen SW of the
    Canary Islands.

    For the forecast west of 55W, weak ridging over the western
    Atlantic across Bermuda will continue to shift eastward through
    Mon ahead of a cold front that will stall from Bermuda to NE
    Florida by midweek. Fresh to strong NE winds and rough seas will
    follow the front, but remain off NE Florida through Wed. Gentle to
    moderate winds and slight seas will persist elsewhere through
    Fri.

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

    Southwestern Gulf of America:
    A surface trough of low pressure has developed along the coast of
    Mexico in the southwestern Gulf of America. Although environmental
    conditions are expected to be only marginally conducive, gradual
    development of this system is possible and a tropical depression
    could form by the second half of this week while it initially
    drifts eastward before turning northward.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...50 percent.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

    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. An account of tropical <br />cyclone names, classification (i.e., tropical depression, tropical <br />storm, or hurricane), and maximum sustained wind speed will be found <br />on hurricanes.gov at this url beginning around July 1: <br /><br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?basin=atl<br /><br />A sample webpage is provided here, with the "2023 Atlantic Summary <br />Table (PDF)" example linked below the Tropical Cyclone Reports <br />(TCRs):<br /><br />https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2023&basin=atl <br /><br />This information will be updated no less frequently than monthly <br />during the hurricane season and will be updated after the season's <br />TCRs are completed to document the official record of the season's <br />tropical cyclone activity. 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
