    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Sun Oct 25 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
    1650 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: A tightening pressure gradient will
    continue to develop across the western and central offshore zones
    today through this evening as strong high pressure builds
    southward over the western Atlantic, and low pressure deepens ENE
    of the central Bahamas along a stationary front extending from 31N56W to
    the NW Bahamas near 27N77W to the Florida Straits. This setup is
    inducing widespread strong to gale- force NE to E winds and very
    rough seas building to 20 ft. Gale- force winds to 40 kt prevail north
    of 27N between 61.5N and 72.5W according to the latest wind-
    derived satellite. Strong to gale winds north of 27N between 61W
    and 80W will prevail today through early Mon morning. The portion
    of the front E of 70W is expected to begin to lift northward
    tonight through Mon morning, and stall from near Bermuda to W Cuba
    Mon and Mon night, then drift southeastward Tue through Wed
    night. Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S. will shift
    slowly eastward and into the NW Atlantic during this time, and
    maintain fresh to strong winds and rough to very rough seas in NE
    swell to the north of the front through the period. Mariners are
    urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine conditions, and
    take the necessary precautions to avoid these affected areas.

    Please, see the latest NWS High Seas
    Forecast issued by the National Hurricane Center at website
    https:www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for further details.

    Heavy Rainfall in the Northern Caribbean: A mid to upper level
    trough over Florida, the NW Caribbean and the Bahamas combined
    with abundant tropical moisture will support periods of heavy rain
    over eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, the southern Bahamas, and
    the Turks and Caicos Islands through Mon. Today, model guidance
    indicates that the trough will begin to weaken and meander
    northward. The main areas that are expected to be impacted by
    abundant tropical moisture and heavy rainfall will then shift to
    north and east of Cuba over the southern Bahamas, Turks and
    Caicos, the Windward Passage and Hispaniola. The heavy rainfall
    will raise concerns for dangerous and life-threatening flash
    flooding. Please refer to your local weather services and the
    International Desk at the Weather Prediction Center for more
    information.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis extends from the coast of Africa near
    16N17W southwestward to 09N34W. The ITCZ extends from 09N44W to
    11N59W. Scattered moderate convection is seen from 04N to 25N
    and east of 40W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A strong ridge extends over most of the eastern United States and
    into the central Gulf, supporting fresh to strong winds east of
    90W along with seas 6 to 9 ft. Elsewhere, mainly moderate winds
    prevail along seas 4 to 6 ft.

    For the forecast, the tight pressure gradient between the high
    pressure and a stationary front across the NW Bahamas and into the
    eastern Florida Straits will maintain fresh to strong NE winds
    and rough seas over the eastern Gulf, including the Florida
    Straits, through Wed.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about the potential for heavy rainfall over eastern Cuba,
    Hispaniola, and Jamaica, the Turks and Caicos and locations farther
    east through the early part of the upcoming week.

    A broad surface trough over the central Bahamas extends southward
    across E Cuba to a 1010 mb low NE of Jamaica near 19.5N76W.
    Numerous moderate to strong convection is along and ahead of this
    low under an area of upper level diffluence that covers
    Hispaniola and adjacent waters. Gust to gale force winds and rough
    seas are likely within this area of convection between eastern
    Cuba and Jamaica and south of Hispaniola between 69W and 72.5W.
    Winds over the NW and portions of SW Caribbean are moderate to
    fresh from the N while ENE winds of the same speeds are E of 74W.
    Seas over these regions are moderate and slight between 74W and
    78W where winds are light to gentle and variable due to the low
    pressure.

    For the forecast, a middle to upper level trough over Florida,
    the Bahamas and NW Caribbean will shift very slowly eastward
    through Tue and support scattered to numerous showers and
    thunderstorms over the central Caribbean and Windward Passage.
    Meanwhile, a broad surface trough over the central Bahamas
    extending southward across E Cuba to a 1010 mb low N of Jamaica
    near 19.5N76.5W, continuing to the SW Caribbean, will drift
    eastward through Tue. Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S.
    will continue to build southward across Florida and the Gulf of
    America through early next week, leading to moderate to fresh N
    winds and moderate seas across the western Caribbean W of the
    trough through late Tue. Expect rough seas in large N swell across
    the Yucatan Channel late tonight through early Tue. Otherwise,
    moderate to fresh E-SE winds in the E Caribbean will diminish to
    gentle to moderate speeds by Mon evening.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about a Gale Warning over the western Atlantic, and on heavy
    rainfall expected for the southern Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos
    Islands, the Windward Passage, and Hispaniola.

    A stationary front extends from 31N56W to the NW Bahamas near
    27N77W to the Florida Straits. Along the front, a 1010 mb low
    pressure is near 28.5N66W. A surface trough then extends
    southward from this low to Hispaniola adjacent waters. These
    features are supporting scattered moderate convection north of 20N
    and between 58W and 74W. Widespread strong to gale-force winds
    and rough seas are north of the front and along the trough or
    across many of the offshores N of 27N. Otherwise, the Azores ridge
    dominates the remainder Atlantic subtropical waters, providing
    mainly moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas, except for
    fresh to strong winds funneling through the Canary Islands and
    west of Cape Verde where rough seas are ongoing.

    For the forecast west of 55W, strong to gale-force NE to E winds
    will continue through early tonight, across the western and
    central offshore zones, along and N of a stationary front
    extending from 31N56W to the NW Bahamas near 27N77W to the Florida
    Straits. Very rough seas to 20 ft are expected. The portion of
    the front E of 70W is expected to begin to lift northward tonight
    through Mon morning, and stall from near Bermuda to W Cuba Mon and
    Mon night, then drift southeastward Tue through Wed night. Strong
    high pressure across the eastern U.S. will shift slowly eastward
    and into the NW Atlantic during this time, and maintain fresh to
    strong winds and rough to very rough seas in NE swell to the north
    of the front through the period. Mariners are urged to remain
    alert to these dangerous marine conditions, and take the necessary
    precautions to avoid these affected areas.

    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.
