    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Tue Jul 14 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
    1700 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is analyzed in the far eastern Atlantic along
    20W, south of 18N, moving westward at 10-15 kt. Numerous moderate
    to strong convection is seen from 04N to 15N and E of 25W, likely
    enhanced by the Atlantic monsoon trough.

    A western Caribbean tropical wave is along 88-89W, south of 20N,
    moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate to strong
    convection is found south of 17N and west of 81W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 18N16W and continues southwestward to 06N40W. The
    ITCZ then continues from 06N40W to 03N51W. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted along the monsoon trough between 25W and 30W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A frontal boundary draped across the southern and southeastern
    United States, along with diurnal heating and plenty of moisture
    combine to support scattered moderate convection across much of
    the northern Gulf waters, especially north of 27N. A surface
    trough in the Bay of Campeche supports scattered moderate
    convection across the far SW Gulf. Outside of convection, the
    Atlantic ridge extends across Florida and into the Gulf. This
    pattern is supporting moderate to fresh NE-E winds and moderate
    seas off Yucatan and in the Bay of Campeche. Moderate to fresh
    westerly winds and moderate seas are occurring north of 29N.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight seas prevail.

    For the forecast, a stationary front will prevail just N of the
    area through midweek, enhancing thunderstorms across the northern
    Gulf waters. Mariners can expect gusty winds, frequent lightning,
    and locally higher seas near the stronger thunderstorms. Fresh to
    strong easterly winds will pulse offshore the Yucatan Peninsula
    each night. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds will prevail.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between the persistent subtropical ridge
    anchored north of the islands and lower pressures in northern
    South America continue to support strong to near gale-force
    easterly winds and rough seas in the south-central Caribbean.
    Fresh to strong NE-E winds and moderate seas are occurring in the
    remainder of the central Caribbean, Windward Passage and the Gulf
    of Honduras. Meanwhile, moderate to fresh easterly winds and
    moderate seas are noted in the eastern Caribbean, the Windward
    Passage, and the Gulf of Honduras. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker
    winds and slight to moderate seas are prevalent.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure
    north of the basin and lower pressures over northern South America
    will support strong to near-gale force trade winds across the
    central Caribbean through the week. Rough seas will prevail with
    these winds. East winds will pulse fresh to locally strong each
    evening in the Gulf of Honduras and Windward Passage.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An extensive subtropical ridge dominates the tropical Atlantic,
    supporting moderate to fresh easterly trade winds south of the SE
    Bahamas and between 70W and 80W, along with fresh NE winds E of
    Cabo Verde between 15N and 25N. Moderate easterly winds and
    moderate seas are occurring south of 22N and west of 30W.
    Elsewhere, gentle to moderate or lighter winds and moderate seas
    prevail.

    A surface trough is analyzed from the central and northern
    Bahamas to near 31N74W. Another surface trough is analyzed from
    22N68W to 29N54W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are
    occurring along and within 100 nm of both trough axes. Convection
    is suppressed elsewhere across much of the basin due to a large
    plume of Saharan dust and mid- latitude dry air.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will remain
    dominant through the forecast period. The weather pattern will
    support moderate to fresh trades south of 23N, with gentle winds
    to the north. Pulsing strong winds are expected each night
    offshore Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage.

    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
