    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Tue Oct 27 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
    1615 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Gale Warning: A tight pressure gradient between a strong ridge over
    the eastern United States and a stationary front extending from
    31N60W to a 1008 mb low pres system over the NW Bahamas continues
    to support a large area of strong to gale-force NE winds and rough
    to very rough seas across the waters north of the front and west
    of the low. Scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms are
    associated with these features, more concentrated from 22N to 29N
    between 70W and 74W. Abundant tropical moisture will remain in
    place in this area, favoring periods of locally heavy rain over
    parts of eastern Cuba, Hispaniola and the Bahamas during the next
    few days, resulting in localized flooding.

    Strong high pressure will remain over the eastern United States
    during the next few days. Winds will diminish below gale-force by
    this evening. However, fresh to strong winds and rough to very
    rough seas in NE swell will persist to the north of the front
    through the workweek and into the upcoming weekend, gradually
    diminishing. 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.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic through the coast of
    Guinea near 11N15W and continues to 10N20W. The ITCZ extends from
    10N20W to 09N40W to northern Guyana near 07.5N60W. Scattered
    moderate convection is noted from 06N to 10N between 30W and 50W,
    and from 08N to 13N between 50W and 60W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure over the eastern of the United States extends a
    ridge across the Gulf waters promoting fresh to strong NE winds
    and seas of 5 to 8 ft across the eastern Gulf waters, including
    the Straits of Florida and Yucatan channel. Moderate or weaker
    winds and moderate seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast, a tight pressure gradient between a strong
    ridge over the eastern United States and a complex weather system
    over the Bahamas will force fresh to strong NE to E winds and
    rough seas over the E Gulf into Thu. Winds and seas will gradually
    diminish late this week into the weekend. Elsewhere, gentle to
    moderate winds and moderate seas will prevail through the forecast
    period.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Showers and thunderstorms are currently affecting Hispaniola and
    the Caribbean adjacent waters as well as western Venezuela,
    including Lake Maracaibo, and northern Colombia. This convective
    activity is ahead of an upper-level trough extending from eastern
    Cuba to the SW Caribbean. A weak 1010 mb low is analyzed over the
    Cayman Islands. Visible satellite imagery indicates a well defined
    swirl of low clouds associated with this low. A surface trough
    extends from the low center to near 12N82W. Moderate to fresh
    northerly winds and seas of 3 to 5 ft are found N of 16N and W of
    the low/trough. Higher seas of 6 to 8 ft are occurring in the
    Yucatan Channel due to fresh to strong NE winds in the SE Gulf of
    America. Elsewhere, mainly moderate E to SE winds and moderate
    seas are seen E of 72W while light to gentle winds and slight seas
    prevail between 72W and 82W.

    For the forecast, the surface trough will gradually weaken through
    the middle of the week. Seas up to 8 ft in N to NE swell will continue
    to propagate through the Yucatan Channel into this afternoon. Winds
    and seas will diminish in the W Caribbean Wed. Otherwise, moderate
    to locally fresh trade winds in the E Caribbean will continue over
    the next few days, gradually extending westward this week and into
    the upcoming weekend.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A Gale Warning is in effect for the SW North Atlantic. Please, see
    the Special Features section above for more information.

    A stationary front extends from 31N60W to a 1008 mb low pres system
    over the NW Bahamas. The pressure gradient between the front and
    strong high pressure over the eastern of United States continues
    to support a large area of strong to gale-foce winds N of the
    low/front. Fresh to strong N winds and moderate to locally rough
    seas are occurring between the Bahamas and SE Florida. South of
    the front, moderate to fresh southerly winds and rough seas are
    evident west of 65W. Farther east, another stationary front is
    analyzed and extends from 31N30W to 29N40W to 31N45W. Light to
    gentle winds are near the front. Rough seas are found behind this
    boundary. The remainder of the Atlantic forecast area is under the
    influence of a broad subtropical ridge centered NE of the Azores.
    Moderate to locally fresh easterly winds and seas of 4 to 7 ft
    are observed south of 22N. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and
    moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the portion of the front east of
    62W is expected to move southeastward as a cold front through Thu
    while a stationary front will persist over the waters N of 27N and
    W of 62W. A high pressure center will remain over the SE United
    States during this time. Gale-force winds will diminish by this
    evening. However, fresh to strong winds and rough to very rough
    seas in NE swell will persist to the north of the front through
    the forecast period, gradually diminishing.

    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. 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
