    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Thu Nov 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0930 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: Latest scatterometer satellite
    pass confirmed winds to gale force south of Bermuda, between 1023
    mb high pressure centered north of Bermuda near 38N63W, and 1007
    mb low pressure near 27N65W. Strong to near-gale force winds are
    noted from 27N to 31N between 55W and 70W, with associated seas
    ranging from 8 ft to 13 ft. Scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms are also active in this area. 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. Chances of this
    development remain low through 48 hours, and medium through the
    next seven days. Regardless of such development, the area of winds
    and seas will expand as the low shifts eastward, with gale force
    wind and very rough seas will expand eastward north of 25N
    reaching as far east as 45W by early Mon. Winds and seas start to
    diminish thereafter, as environmental conditions are forecast to
    become unfavorable for further development.

    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 extends southwestward across
    northern portions of Central America and into the tropical
    eastern Pacific. This feature will interact with enhanced low-
    level moisture and onshore flow south of the monsoon trough over
    the next several days. This will favor heavy precipitation
    developing across Central America starting today and lasting
    through at least Friday. The heaviest precipitation is expected
    across Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with the bulk of precipitation
    occurring through today. Heavy rainfall may lead to 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 11N16W to 08N20W.
    The ITCZ extends from 08N20W to 08N59W. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted from 03N to 11N and E of 47W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front reaches from Gulfport, MS to Tampico, Mexico.
    1014 mb high pressure is over the eastern and central Gulf,
    centered near 26N86W. This pattern is supporting light breezes
    and 1-3 ft seas across the basin.

    For the forecast, the frontal boundary will weaken and dissipate
    today. Moderate northwest to north winds prevail west of the
    front. The next cold front is expected to move across the Gulf
    waters this weekend. Near gale NW winds are expected in the SW
    Gulf Sun night and Mon west of the front. Fresh to strong north
    winds will develop elsewhere west of the front on Sun through
    early next week as it moves east across the basin.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A cluster of thunderstorms is active southeast of Jamaica.
    Scattered thunderstorms are also active across the southern
    approaches to the Windward Passage. Broad 1009 mb low pressure
    near Grand Cayman Island is along a surface trough at 82W from 17N
    and 20N. This pattern is supporting light breezes and 1-3 ft seas
    across the basin.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient prevails across
    the basin supporting moderate trade winds, along with moderate
    seas. The pressure gradient will further loosen across the area
    tonight. This will diminish the moderate trades across the central
    and eastern Caribbean through the forecast period.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

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

    Elsewhere, a cold front enters the central Atlantic near 31N28W
    to 26N38W, then continues as stationary to 27N49W. Farther south,
    a trough reaches from 19N27W to 13N31W. This pattern is
    supporting gentle to moderate breezes and 4-6 ft combined seas in
    N swell.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the low pressure will drift through
    Fri, then slowly move east-northeastward during the weekend. An
    area of strong to gale-force winds, and rough to very rough seas,
    peaking near 14 ft, has developed north of the low pres and will
    expand eastward through Sun, impacting the waters mainly north of
    about 27N. The gale- force winds will likely be north of 29N
    through the end of the week. Elsewhere, 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 broad, non-tropical low pressure area located a few hundred miles
    south of Bermuda is producing some disorganized convection mainly to
    the east of its center. 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.
