    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Fri Jun 26 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
    2130 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning:
    A tight pressure gradient between an Atlantic Ridge and the
    Colombian Low will cause tradewinds off Colombia and over the Gulf
    of Venezuela to peak at minimal gale-force Fri night and early Sat
    morning. Seas under these winds are expected to range between
    12-15 ft north of Colombia and 4-7 ft in the Gulf of Venezuela.
    Please refer to High Seas and Offshore Waters Forecasts issued by
    the National Hurricane Center at websites:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml and
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/marine/offshores.php for more
    information.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 40W from 16N
    southward, and moving westward at 15-20 kt. Isolated moderate
    convection is observed from 00N-13N between 33W-46W.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave is near 71W from Dominican
    Republic southward into Venezuela, moving westward at 15-20 kt.
    No significant deep convection is occurring with this wave this
    afternoon.

    A western Caribbean tropical wave is near 83W from 19N southward
    along coastal Nicaragua. It is moving westward around 5-10 kt.
    Scattered moderate convection is occurring from 11N-16N west of
    82W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 14N17W near coastal
    Gambia and extends to 07N20W. The ITCZ extends from 07N20W to
    06N36W. It begins again at 05N41W to 04N53W. Isolated moderate
    convection is observed from 00N-13N between 33W-46W and from
    03N-08N between 21W-26W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Gentle to moderate or weaker E to SE winds and slight seas
    prevail across much of the Gulf. Isolated moderate convection is
    occurring from 25N-27N east of 83W.

    For the forecast, a ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf
    region into early next week. Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds
    will generally prevail across the basin during this time, except
    for fresh to locally strong NE to E winds pulsing off the
    northwestern Yucatan Peninsula nightly, and moderate to fresh SE
    to S winds across the far northwestern Gulf through the weekend.
    Looking ahead, a weak frontal boundary will sink southward into
    the east-central Gulf Mon night and Tue.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please read the Special Features section about an upcoming Gale
    Warning, and please refer to the Tropical Waves section for
    details on convection in the basin.

    The pressure gradient between ridging across much of the Atlantic
    and the Colombian Low supports fresh to strong trades across much
    of the central Caribbean, as well as seas of 8-9 ft in the south-
    central to SW Caribbean. Moderate to fresh trades and moderate
    seas prevail in the E Caribbean, with gentle to moderate or weaker
    winds and 2-5 ft seas elsewhere.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Atlantic
    ridge and the Colombian low will support fresh to strong trade
    winds, and rough to very rough seas in the central Caribbean
    through Sat morning. Expect winds at near-gale force offshore of
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela during the nighttime and
    early morning hours. On Fri night and early Sat morning, winds off
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela will peak at minimal gale-
    force. Pulsing fresh to strong winds and moderate to locally rough
    seas are expected in the Gulf of Honduras nightly through Sat
    night.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An upper-level shortwave centered at 31N63W is helping to enhance
    isolated moderate convection north of 28N between 60W-70W. The
    remainder of the Atlantic is dominated by ridging, supporting
    moderate to fresh trades and moderate seas across much of the
    basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a ridge will continue to dominate
    the forecast area through the weekend. Fresh to strong easterly
    winds, with locally rough seas are expected offshore Hispaniola,
    including approaches to the Windward Passage, each late afternoon
    and night through Fri night. A nearly north-to-south aligned
    surface trough across the central Atlantic will shift westward
    across the region Fri through Sun, reaching near 70W by Sun
    morning. This will weaken the ridge and lead to diminishing winds.
    Looking ahead, a weak cold front will sink southward into the
    waters off northeastern Florida Mon night.

    Scattered moderate convection is occurring from 11N-16N west of
    82W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 14N17W near coastal
    Gambia and extends to 07N20W. The ITCZ extends from 07N20W to
    06N36W. It begins again at 05N41W to 04N53W. Isolated moderate
    convection is observed from 00N-13N between 33W-46W and from
    03N-08N between 21W-26W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Gentle to moderate or weaker E to SE winds and slight seas
    prevail across much of the Gulf. Isolated moderate convection is
    occurring from 25N-27N east of 83W.

    For the forecast, a ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf
    region into early next week. Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds
    will generally prevail across the basin during this time, except
    for fresh to locally strong NE to E winds pulsing off the
    northwestern Yucatan Peninsula nightly, and moderate to fresh SE
    to S winds across the far northwestern Gulf through the weekend.
    Looking ahead, a weak frontal boundary will sink southward into
    the east-central Gulf Mon night and Tue.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please read the Special Features section about an upcoming Gale
    Warning, and please refer to the Tropical Waves section for
    details on convection in the basin.

    The pressure gradient between ridging across much of the Atlantic
    and the Colombian Low supports fresh to strong trades across much
    of the central Caribbean, as well as seas of 8-9 ft in the south-
    central to SW Caribbean. Moderate to fresh trades and moderate
    seas prevail in the E Caribbean, with gentle to moderate or weaker
    winds and 2-5 ft seas elsewhere.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Atlantic
    ridge and the Colombian low will support fresh to strong trade
    winds, and rough to very rough seas in the central Caribbean
    through Sat morning. Expect winds at near-gale force offshore of
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela during the nighttime and
    early morning hours. On Fri night and early Sat morning, winds off
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela will peak at minimal gale-
    force. Pulsing fresh to strong winds and moderate to locally rough
    seas are expected in the Gulf of Honduras nightly through Sat
    night.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An upper-level shortwave centered at 31N63W is helping to enhance
    isolated moderate convection north of 28N between 60W-70W. The
    remainder of the Atlantic is dominated by ridging, supporting
    moderate to fresh trades and moderate seas across much of the
    basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a ridge will continue to dominate
    the forecast area through the weekend. Fresh to strong easterly
    winds, with locally rough seas are expected offshore Hispaniola,
    including approaches to the Windward Passage, each late afternoon
    and night through Fri night. A nearly north-to-south aligned
    surface trough across the central Atlantic will shift westward
    across the region Fri through Sun, reaching near 70W by Sun
    morning. This will weaken the ridge and lead to diminishing winds.
    Looking ahead, a weak cold front will sink southward into the
    waters off northeastern Florida Mon night.

    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.
