    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Tue Oct 6 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
    0600 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Southwestern Gulf of America (Invest AL92):
    A trough of low pressure over the southwestern Gulf of America is
    producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Although
    environmental conditions appear only marginally conducive for
    development, a tropical depression is likely to form within the next
    couple of days. The system is expected to drift east-northeastward
    through the middle portion of the week before turning northward. It
    is too early to determine specific impacts to the northern Gulf
    Coast, but interests there should closely monitor the progress of
    this system. Chances of tropical cyclone formation through the
    next 48 hours are high.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 61W, south of 21N, moving westward at 10
    to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 10N to 18N
    between 55W and 62W. This wave is also enhancing fresh to strong E
    winds across and in between the Lesser Antilles.

    A tropical wave is over the western Caribbean with axis along
    86W, south of 21N, moving westward at around 5 to 10 kt. Scattered
    moderate convection is active over Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua
    and Costa Rica.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic at 15N17W and extends to
    06N43W. The ITCZ extends from 06N43W to 10N58W. Scattered
    moderate convection is evident from 07N to 15N and E of 38W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Please read the Special Features section above for more
    information on Invest AL92.

    A frontal boundary extends from the Big Bend of FL across the
    northern Gulf to the coastal border of the United States and
    Mexico. A 1011 mb low is analyzed near 29N87W. A surface trough is
    also analyzed across the western Gulf and Bay of Campeche, with
    another surface trough over the Yucatan Peninsula. Scattered
    moderate convection is along and near each of these features.
    Moderate to fresh, locally strong NE winds and moderate seas are N
    and W of the front. Gentle to moderate or weaker winds and slight
    seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast, fresh to locally strong N winds will follow a
    trough along the E Mexican offshores through Tue. Weak surface
    ridging over the NE Gulf will slowly shift eastward through late
    Tue ahead of a front stalling over the northern Gulf through Wed
    before it starts to weaken Wed night. Fresh NE to E winds and
    building seas are forecast N of the front. Looking ahead, gradual
    development of a low E of Tampico is becoming more likely, and a a
    tropical depression is likely to form during the middle or latter
    portion of the week. This system is expected to drift eastward
    over the next few days, before it turns northward. Regardless of
    development, fresh to locally strong winds and rough seas are
    forecast over portions of Gulf Wed through Sat night. Mariners
    should monitor the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane
    Center.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    An upper level trough over the W Caribbean supports scattered
    showers and isolated thunderstorms over portions of Cuba and
    Hispaniola as well as the adjacent coastal waters. Broad ridging
    over the western Atlantic is supporting fresh to strong E to NE
    winds over the south-central and eastern Caribbean, as noted in
    recent scatterometer satellite data. Mostly moderate E to SE winds
    and 3-5 ft seas are noted elsewhere across the Caribbean.

    For the forecast, weak ridging over the western Atlantic will
    support moderate to fresh E to SE winds across the northwest and
    central Caribbean through Tue morning, except offshore Colombia
    and the Gulf of Venezuela where fresh winds will likely pulse to
    strong speeds at night through tonight. Afterward, a cold front
    will move across the waters N of the region, further weakening the
    pressure gradient and supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds
    across the basin through Thu. High pressure is forecast to develop
    to the SE of Bermuda Thu night, which will drift westward through
    Fri evening before dissipating. This will increase the easterly
    winds over the central Caribbean to fresh speed Fri, then moderate
    to fresh Fri night through Sat night.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A frontal boundary extending off the NE FL coast supports
    scattered moderate convection along the central and northern FL
    coast. In the central to eastern Atlantic, a surface trough SW of
    the Azores is interacting with an upper level low overhead to
    support showers along and near the trough axis. Elsewhere,
    broad ridging across the Atlantic supports gentle to moderate
    trades and 3-6 ft seas across much of the basin. E winds are fresh
    to strong E of the Lesser Antilles, enhanced by a tropical wave in
    the region.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front will move slowly E
    over the area tonight and early Tue, stalling from Bermuda to NE
    Florida Tue night into Wed. Fresh to strong NE winds and rough
    seas will follow the front, remaining off NE Florida through Wed
    night. Moderate or weaker winds and slight seas will persist
    elsewhere through Fri. Otherwise, by Fri evening, high pressure
    developing SE of Bermuda and shifting westward will increase
    trades S of 22N to moderate to fresh speeds, continuing Sat and
    Sat 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.

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.

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.
