    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Wed Sep 16 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
    0400 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    The axis of a tropical wave is near 21W, south of 18N, moving
    westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 05N
    to 12N and between 18W and 26W.

    The axis of a tropical wave is near 60W, south of 20N, moving
    westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 11N
    to 21N and between 54W and 61W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 13N16W and continues
    to 09N44W. The ITCZ extends from 09N44W to 11N55W. Aside from
    convection noted in the tropical waves section above, scattered
    moderate convection is noted within 90 nm on either side of the
    boundaries between 28W and 46W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front extends from Hernando Beach, Florida to Fort
    Walton Beach, Florida. A pressure gradient prevails elsewhere
    over the gulf waters. Gentle to moderate winds and slight to
    moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast, the stationary front will weaken over the next
    couple of days as it slowly drifts southward and dissipates by
    Thu. A strong ridge over the Eastern United States will support
    fresh to locally strong NE-E winds and rough seas starting in the
    NE Gulf late tonight and spreading over the rest of the northern
    Gulf waters through Thu night. Elsewhere, a diurnal trough will
    move westward offshore the Yucatan Peninsula each evening through
    Thu night, bringing nightly pulses of fresh to locally strong NE
    winds. Conditions will improve across the basin Fri, allowing for
    moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas during the
    weekend.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Fresh to near gale E winds, and moderate to rough seas, prevail
    over the south central Caribbean. Gentle winds and slight seas are
    over the NW Caribbean. Moderate to fresh winds, and moderate
    seas, prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast, the pressure will continue to support fresh to
    locally near gale-force easterly trade winds and moderate to rough
    seas across much of the central Caribbean, with moderate to fresh
    trades elsewhere from 11N to 18N. These conditions will persist
    through the workweek. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and
    slight to moderate seas are expected, except moderate to fresh
    mainly in the evenings near the Windward Passage and Lee of Cuba
    through Wed night. Winds will diminish across the basin by the end
    of the week into the upcoming weekend as the pressures gradient
    relaxes, with seas also slightly subsiding.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A stationary front extends from near Bermuda to Cape Canaveral,
    Florida. Moderate to locally fresh winds, and moderate seas,
    prevail N of the front. A surface trough extends from 30N52W to
    26N51W. Scattered moderate convection is in the vicinity of the
    trough. High pressure dominates the remainder of the discussion
    waters N of 20N. Light to gentle winds, and slight seas, prevail N
    of 22N and W of 55W. Gentle to moderate winds, and moderate seas
    are found elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the stationary front will shift
    southward over the next couple of days and dissipate by Thu. A
    tight pressure gradient between the building ridge over the
    eastern United States and the front will result in fresh to
    locally strong NE winds and seas to build to rough N of the
    Bahamas and W of 70W through early Thu. Conditions will improve
    later Thu into Fri. Meanwhile, a broad upper-level trough over the
    SE Bahamas and Hispaniola will support scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms over much of the area over the next few
    days as the system shifts northwestward.

    Central Subtropical Atlantic:
    A trough of low pressure located about 600 miles east of Bermuda
    continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
    Environmental conditions could become a little more conducive for
    development in a couple of days while the system moves slowly
    westward to west-northwestward over the subtropical Atlantic.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1122 AM EDT Mon May 17 2021

    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.

    .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be
    coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by
    telephone:

    .GULF OF MEXICO...
    None.

    .CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN

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
