    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Fri Oct 23 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0330 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Heavy Rainfall in the North Caribbean: A broad upper-level
    trough extends from the United States into the NW Caribbean,
    while deep moisture convergence is ongoing at lower levels in the
    southern Caribbean. A broad plume of very moist air will interact
    with the upper level trough in the NW Caribbean, sustaining
    moisture into Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas over the
    next several days. Low-level winds will also lead to moist onshore
    flow entering along the southern coasts of east Cuba and Haiti,
    where heavy precipitation is expected through Sunday. Expect the
    heaviest precipitation to occur across all other aforementioned
    areas on Sat and Sun. 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 extends off the coast of Africa near 07N12W
    and extends to 07N18W. The ITCZ extends from 07N18W to 08N27W. It
    resumes from 08N33W to 06N54W. Scattered moderate convection is
    noted from 02N to 09N between 16W and 27W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure over the eastern of the United States supports
    moderate to fresh NE to E winds across the Gulf region. Slight to
    moderate seas are noted.

    For the forecast, a tightening pressure gradient between the high
    pressure and a low pressure forecast to develop near the Bahamas
    will bring fresh to strong NE winds and rough seas over the
    eastern Gulf, including the Florida Straits, Fri night through
    early next week.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    An upper level trough over NW Caribbean supports scattered to
    numerous showers and thunderstorms over the north-central
    Caribbean and Windward Passage. A weak pressure gradient over the
    area is generating moderate or weaker winds, and slight to
    moderate seas, over the basin.

    For the forecast, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
    over the north-central Caribbean and Windward Passage will
    prevail through Sat. Meanwhile, a broad trough over the central
    and western Caribbean will support light winds and slight to
    moderate seas west of 75W through Sat, and moderate to fresh E to
    SE winds and moderate seas east of 75W. Fresh N to NE winds
    across the western Caribbean with building seas west of 80W are
    expected by early next week as high pressure builds north of the
    area. Expect rough seas and large swell across the Yucatan Channel
    Mon and Tue. Little change is expected elsewhere.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A 1011 mb low is centered to the northe of the area, with a
    trough extending from the low to 24N53W. Scattered moderate
    convection is in the vicinity of the trough. Fresh to strong
    southerly winds, and moderate to rough seas are east of the trough
    between 44W and 51W. Large northerly swell generated from Post-
    Tropical Josephine north of the area is generating rough seas N of
    25N and W of 65W. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds, and
    moderate seas prevail as surface ridging dominates the area.

    For the forecast west of 55W, large northerly swell will continue
    to propagate across the forecast region W of 65W and NE of the
    Bahamas through Fri. A tightening pressure gradient will develop
    beginning late Fri as high pressure builds southward over the
    western Atlantic and low pressure deepens near the Bahamas along a
    trough or developing frontal boundary. This setup is expected to
    induce widespread fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough to very
    rough seas, with winds likely reaching gale-force over much of the
    waters north of 27N and W of 60W Sat night through Sun night.
    Mariners are urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine
    conditions, and take the necessary precautions to avoid the
    affected areas.

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

    Subtropical Central Atlantic:
    A trough of low pressure located several hundred miles east of
    Bermuda is producing a large area of disorganized showers and
    thunderstorms. Further development of this system is not expected as
    it moves north-northeastward into increasingly unfavorable
    environmental conditions during the next day or so.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.

    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.

    .GULF OF MEXICO...

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
