    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1015 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 23W, south of 18N,
    moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
    convection is observed from 04N to 15N and between 19W and 31W.

    A sharp tropical wave is moving across the Lesser Antilles,
    located along 61W, south of 20N, moving westward at 10-15 kt.
    Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is present from
    12N to 20N and between 54W and 64W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 17N16W and continues
    to 09N30W and to 08N44W. The ITCZ extends from 08N44W to 06N57W.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted within 90 nm on either
    side of the boundaries between 33W and 55W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A dissipating stationary front is located from Tampa Bay to
    29N85W. A few showers and isolated thunderstorms dot the Gulf
    waters, with the strongest storms occurring off NW Yucatan. High
    pressure over the SE United States supports moderate to fresh
    easterly winds and moderate seas east of 90W and in the eastern
    Bay of Campeche. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    moderate seas are prevalent.

    For the forecast, the aforementioned front is expected to
    dissipate later today. A 1027 mb high pressure system over the SE
    United States will support fresh to locally strong NE-E winds and
    moderate to rough seas starting in the NE Gulf this afternoon,
    spreading over the rest of the northern Gulf waters through Thu
    night. Conditions will improve across the basin Fri into Sat,
    allowing for moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas
    during the weekend. Meanwhile, a broad upper-level trough over the
    Bahamas will move toward Florida over the next few days,
    increasing shower and thunderstorm activity over the eastern and
    central Gulf waters..

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A tight pressure gradient continues to sustain fresh to strong
    easterly trade winds and moderate to locally rough seas across the
    central Caribbean. Moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate
    seas are found in the eastern Caribbean, Windward Passage and lee
    of Cuba. Light to gentle winds and slight seas prevail elsewhere.

    Divergence aloft support scattered showers and a few thunderstorms
    over eastern Cuba, Hispaniola and surrounding waters. Similar
    convection is seen in the Bay of Campeche and SW Caribbean.

    For the forecast, high pressure north of the Caribbean will force fresh
    to locally near gale-force trades and moderate to locally rough
    seas across across much of the central Caribbean. Moderate to
    fresh easterly winds and moderate seas will prevail in the eastern
    Caribbean. These conditions will persist through Fri night. Winds
    will diminish and seas subside across the basin during the
    weekend as the pressures gradient relaxes. A strong tropical wave
    will move across the basin over the next few days supporting
    scattered showers and thunderstorms.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A stationary front extends from near Bermuda to near Cocoa Beach,
    Florida. Fresh to locally strong NE winds and seas of 5-9 ft are
    noted behind the front. A buoy near 31N71W recently reported 9 ft.
    Meanwhile, a broad upper-level trough over the SE Bahamas and
    Hispaniola is producing scattered to numerous showers and isolated
    thunderstorms west of 62W and south of the front. Moderate to
    fresh easterly trade and moderate seas are noted south of 25N and
    west of 55W. Elsewhere, weak high pressure supports slight to
    gentle winds and slight to moderate seas in the rest of the SW
    North Atlantic.

    Another upper-level trough is noted in the north-central Atlantic
    producing scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms north of
    25N and between 47W and 57W. The remainder of the tropical
    Atlantic is under the influence of a strong subtropical ridge
    centered north of the Azores. Moderate to fresh easterly winds and
    moderate seas are evident south of 20N and west of 40W. Moderate
    to locally fresh anticyclonic winds and moderate seas are
    occurring in the remainder of the eastern and central tropical
    Atlantic.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the aforementioned front will shift
    southward over the next day or so and dissipate. The tight
    pressure gradient between a 1027 mb high pressure over the SE
    United States and the aforementioned front will result in fresh to
    locally strong NE winds and seas to build to rough N of the
    Bahamas and W of 70W today through Thu. Conditions will improve
    late Thu into Fri, as broad ridging dominates the basin into the
    weekend. 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. .

    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.
