    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Tue Nov 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1700 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: Broad low pressure is expected to
    develop tonight along an old frontal boundary that extends from
    25N60W to the central Bahamas, near 26N between 65W and 70W. A
    very tight pressure gradient between the low pressure and strong
    high pressure to its north is expected to induce near-gale to
    gale-force northeast to east winds beginning Wed afternoon,
    roughly over the waters from 29N to 31N between 63W and 69W. Seas
    are expected to build to 10-16 ft (3-5 m) with these winds
    through Thu as the low pressure drifts east-northeastward. The low
    pressure could acquire some subtropical characteristics late this
    week.

    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 western Caribbean will interact with enhanced low-level
    moisture and onshore flow over the next several days. This will
    favor heavy precipitation developing across Central America,
    northern South America, as well as Jamaica starting today and
    lasting through Friday. The heaviest precipitation is expected
    across southern and western portions of Costa Rica, Panama, and
    Nicaragua, with the bulk of precipitation occurring today through
    Thursday. Heavy rainfall will raise concerns for life-threatening
    flash flooding and landslides. Please refer to your local weather
    services and the International Desk at the Weather Prediction
    Center for more details.


    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis reaches the Atlantic from coast of Guinea
    near 11N15W, and continues southwestward to 06N21W, where it
    transitions to the ITCZ and continues to 09N61W. Scattered
    moderate and isolated strong convection is occurring E of 20W
    between 03N and 14N. Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms
    are also occurring along and within 200 nm N of the ITCZ.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The interaction between strong high pressure over the eastern
    United States and a trough over the southern and eastern Gulf is
    maintaining fresh to strong northeast to east winds and seas of
    4-6 ft over the NE Gulf. Gentle to moderate southeast to east
    winds and slight seas are elsewhere. Scattered moderate convection
    is ongoing along the eastern end of a surface trough in the Gulf,
    while more scattered showers and thunderstorms are occurring
    offshore south-central Louisiana as an upper-level trough moves
    across the central US.

    For the forecast, fresh to locally strong northeast to east winds
    over the NE Gulf will shift north of the area today. A cold front
    will enter the NW Gulf tonight through Wed, then weaken and
    dissipate Wed night. Moderate to fresh northwest to north winds
    are expected west of the front. Another cold front is expected to
    move into the NW Gulf waters Fri through Sat night, followed by
    moderate to fresh northeast winds.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Deep-layer troughing in the western Caribbean supports scattered
    moderate to strong convection N of 15N between 74W and 83W. In the
    SW Caribbean, the influences from a surface trough and the East
    Pacific monsoon trough are combining to support scattered moderate
    convection S of 14N and W of 80W. Elsewhere, the pressure
    difference between surface ridging across the Atlantic and lower
    pressure over Colombia supports moderate to fresh trades and 4-6
    ft seas across much of the central and eastern Caribbean. Gentle
    to moderate or weaker winds and 2-5 ft seas prevail elsewhere.

    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 by midweek.
    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 is analyzed from a 1016 mb low near 31N36W to
    28N39W to 26N60W, where it then transitions to a shear line that
    extends westward through the central Bahamas and to the SE FL
    coast. Scattered moderate convection is occurring N of 22N between
    55W and 66W. Winds quickly increase from gentle to moderate
    trades S of the front and shear line to fresh to strong speeds N
    of these features. Seas of 8-11 ft are seen N of the front and
    shear line as well, with 5-8 ft seas S of these features. The
    remainder of the Atlantic is seeing gentle to moderate or weaker
    trade winds and 4-7 ft seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, an old frontal boundary extends
    from near 26N55W westward to 26N60W, then becomes a shear line to
    27N70W and to the central Bahamas near 25N78W. Strong high
    pressure is centered north of Bermuda. The pressure gradient
    between these features will support widespread fresh to strong
    northeast to east winds and rough seas to 11 ft north of the
    frontal boundary and shear line west of about 60W today. Broad low
    pressure is expected to develop along the frontal boundary
    southwest of Bermuda, roughly from 27N to 28N, tonight through
    Wed, and track slowly east- northeastward during the rest of the
    week. A broad zone of strong to gale-force winds, and rough to
    very rough seas, peaking near 16 ft, will develop north of the low
    pressure and expand eastward Wed through Fri, impacting the
    waters mainly north of about 27N. The gale- force winds will
    likely be north of 29N from Wed afternoon through early Fri. A
    weakening cold front will move across the waters between Florida
    and 75W Fri and Fri night, then dissipate Sat and Sat night.

    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.
