    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Sat Sep 12 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
    2300 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    The axis of a tropical wave is near 36W, south of 21N, moving
    westward at around 20 kt. Scattered showers are near the wave
    axis.

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean with axis along
    76W, south of 20N and extends southward into northern Colombia,
    moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. The wave is enhancing convection
    over eastern Cuba and Jamaica.

    A second tropical wave is over the NW Caribbean near 83W, south
    of 20N, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered to numerous
    showers and thunderstorms are along the wave axis affecting
    parts of Honduras and Nicaragua as well as Costa Rica.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 18N16W, and continues southwestward to 10N42W.
    The ITCZ extends from 10N42W to the coast of Guyana near 07N60W.
    Aside from convection associated with the tropical wave, scattered
    moderate convection is noted N of the ITCZ to about 11N and W of
    50W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Convection continues to flare-up over the Gulf region, mainly
    north of 25N, and over the Florida Peninsula as abundant tropical
    moisture remains in place. A diffluent pattern aloft is also
    helping to induce this convective activity. A surface trough is
    analyzed over south Florida and runs from 28N78W to 24N83W.
    Another surface trough is over the central Bay of Campeche. Under
    this weather pattern, gentle to locally moderate winds with slight
    to moderate seas are noted.

    For the forecast, NE to E winds will pulse to fresh each night off the
    W Yucatan peninsula due to a diurnal trough moving toward the SW
    Gulf. Elsewhere, winds will be moderate or weaker through early
    next week due to the influence of weak high pressure centered
    over the N Gulf.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    High pressure N of the area combined with the Colombian low continues
    to support fresh to strong trade winds and rough seas over much of
    the central Caribbean, as noted on scatterometer data. Seas are 8
    to 11 ft per altimeter data over the south-central Caribbean.
    Elsewhere moderate to locally fresh trade winds and moderate seas
    are evident, with the exception of light to gentle winds over
    the NW Caribbean. Numerous showers, with embedded thunderstorms,
    are occurring over Cuba and Jamaica. An upper-level low spinning
    over the NW Caribbean is enhancing this convective activity.
    Scattered showers and thunderstorms are also noted over Hispaniola.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient from ridging north of the
    area to the Colombian Low will continue to force strong to locally
    near-gale trades over the central Caribbean for the next several
    days. From late Sat through Mon night, trades over the Gulf of
    Honduras will increase to fresh to locally strong. Elsewhere,
    winds will be moderate or weaker.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A frontal trough extends from 31N44W to 25N53W to 31N65W. Scattered
    showers and thunderstorms are observed in association with this
    trough, mainly N of 25N between 55W and 70W. The remainder of
    the forecast waters are dominated by high pressure, with the main
    center of 1023 mb located near the Azores. The pressure gradient
    between the high pressure and lower pressures over NW Africa is
    promoting moderate to fresh N to NE winds N of 20N and E of 20W,
    including the Canary Islands. Moderate to fresh trade winds are
    observed E of the Lesser Antilles to about 40W, and also just N
    of Hispaniola. Moderate or weaker winds prevail elsewhere. Seas
    are in general moderate across the Atlantic forecast waters.

    For the forecast west of 55W, trades north of Hispaniola into
    the Windward Passage will be fresh to locally strong through
    early next week. Elsewhere, the Bermuda-Azores High situated
    along 30N should support moderate or weaker winds across the
    remaining forecast waters for the next several days.

    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
