    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Wed Sep 9 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    2200 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave along 17W north of 03N is moving into the eastern
    Atlantic at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is evident
    from 10N to 15N between 17W and 22W.

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 49W from 02N
    to 18N, moving westward at about 15 to 20 kt. Scattered moderate
    and isolated strong convection is noted from 08N to 16N between
    50W and 55W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 60W from 19N
    southward, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted from 12N to 15N between 58W and 62W.

    A central western tropical wave has its axis near 82W, south of
    19N. It is moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate to
    isolated strong convection is noted from 17N to 21N between 80W
    and 85W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 21N16W, and continues
    southwestward to 09N30W. The ITCZ continues from 09N30W to 08N35W
    to 10N45W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is
    seen from 06N to 11N between 30W and 35W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front extends across the eastern waters from Venice,
    Florida to south-central Louisiana. A few showers and thunderstorms
    are in the vicinity of the front. A surface trough persists over
    the southwest Gulf, northeast of Veracruz. Gentle to moderate
    winds are active over the central and west-central Gulf north of
    the trough. Light to gentle winds are over the SE Gulf. Gentle
    winds and slight seas are noted elsewhere.

    For the forecast, weak high pressure will persist across the Gulf
    through the weekend, producing a weak pressure gradient. This
    will support mostly light to gentle winds and slight seas over
    much of the waters. Winds will pulse to fresh with moderate seas
    off the western Yucatan Peninsula during the evenings due to a
    diurnal surface trough moving westward from the peninsula each
    night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    An upper low is centered between Panama and Jamaica, supporting
    clusters of showers and thunderstorms over the northwest Caribbean
    between Cuba and Belize. The pressure gradient between high
    pressure over the western Atlantic and the Colombian low is
    supporting fresh to strong trades along with moderate seas over
    the south- central Caribbean. Moderate to fresh trades and
    moderate are over the rest of basin, with the exception of the
    northwestern waters, where light to gentle winds are noted.

    For the forecast, the western Atlantic ridge extends E to W along
    about 26N to the NW Bahamas. The pressure gradient between the
    ridge and the Colombian low will support strong winds, locally
    to near- gale force, through Wed night before diminishing
    modestly through Fri. Rough seas will develop over these waters
    with the persistent strong winds. Fresh to locally strong winds
    will pulse tonight in the Gulf of Honduras. Elsewhere, moderate
    or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail. Large
    easterly swell will accompany a tropical wave into the Tropical N
    Atlantic waters early Wed through Thu morning.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A stationary front extends from Bermuda to Fort Pierce Florida. A
    pre-frontal trough also extends from 31N63W to the Windward
    Passage. Numerous showers and thunderstorms are active along the
    trough from 25N to 30N. The subtropical ridge dominates the
    remainder of the basin, anchored by 1027 mb high pressure near
    31N38W, and extending westward through the northwest Bahamas.
    This pattern is supporting gentle breezes and 3-5 ft seas along
    the ridge axis through the Bahamas, and moderate to fresh NE winds
    and 6-9 ft seas south of the ridge.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the ridge will gradually shift
    northeastward and strengthen through mid week. This will cause
    winds to increase slightly S of 21N through Thu. A stationary
    front will linger near 31N through mid week before lifting
    northward. Showers and thunderstorms will remain active across
    these northern waters W of 60W through tonight.

    Marine Weather Discussion

    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
