    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Sat Sep 5 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
    1610 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave has emerged off the coast of West Africa and is
    along 18.5W, south of 20N. Scattered moderate convection is
    depicted from 11N to 13N and west of 20W.

    A tropical wave is along 32.5N, south of 20N, moving W at around
    15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is depicted from 03N to 10N
    between 26W and 35W.

    A tropical wave is along 62.5W, south of 20N, moving W at around
    15 kt. Isolated moderate convection is noted from 16N to 20N
    between 58W and the wave axis.

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean with axis along 76W,
    and extends from eastern Cuba to near western Colombia. No
    significant convection is associated with this wave at this time.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 19N16W and continues
    southwestward to 08N40W. The ITCZ extends from 08N40W to 11N59W.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted from 05N to 07N between
    38W and 48W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A weak ridge continues to dominate the Gulf region supporting light
    to gentle winds, except gentle to moderate winds over the Bay of
    Campeche likely due to the pressure gradient between the ridge
    and a surface trough. Seas are generally 1 to 3 ft. Isolated
    showers, with embedded thunderstorms, dot the central and north-
    central part of the basin.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient will support light to
    gentle winds and slight seas over much of the waters through the
    middle of next week. Winds will pulse to fresh with moderate seas
    off western Yucatan during the evenings due to a diurnal surface
    trough moving west off the peninsula each night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between high pressure to the north and the
    Colombian low is maintaining fresh trades and 5 to 7 ft seas
    offshore Colombia, and in the Gulf of Venezuela. Similar wind
    speeds are also noted in the Gulf of Honduras. Gentle to moderate
    winds and slight to moderate seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the subtropical
    ridge and the Colombian low is supporting fresh to locally strong
    trades along with moderate seas over the central Caribbean. This
    gradient will tighten starting Mon, leading to a broader area of
    strong, with locally near-gale force winds and rough seas, early
    next week. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    moderate seas will prevail into the middle of next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A surface trough extends from near 30N78.5W to southern Florida.
    Scattered showers and thunderstorms are associated with this
    feature. Additional showers and thunderstorms are active along a
    trough reaching from 28N68W to just north of Hispaniola. Another
    surface trough is supporting scattered moderate convection north
    of 26N between 45W and 55W. A 1019 mb high pressure remains over
    the Atlantic and is centered near 24N40W. The remainder of the
    Atlantic forecast region is also under the influence of a ridge,
    with the main high pressure center of 1023 mb located midway
    between the Azores and the Madeira Islands. Under this weather
    pattern, moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure will generally
    prevail across the area through early next week, supporting
    moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas. A weak cold front is
    likely to approach the northern waters, then stall along 31N for
    the first part of next week.

    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
    55W AND 64W...

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
