Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1815 UTC Sun Oct 25 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
1650 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Atlantic Gale Warning: A tightening pressure gradient will
continue to develop across the western and central offshore zones
today through this evening as strong high pressure builds
southward over the western Atlantic, and low pressure deepens ENE
of the central Bahamas along a stationary front extending from 31N56W to
the NW Bahamas near 27N77W to the Florida Straits. This setup is
inducing widespread strong to gale- force NE to E winds and very
rough seas building to 20 ft. Gale- force winds to 40 kt prevail north
of 27N between 61.5N and 72.5W according to the latest wind-
derived satellite. Strong to gale winds north of 27N between 61W
and 80W will prevail today through early Mon morning. The portion
of the front E of 70W is expected to begin to lift northward
tonight through Mon morning, and stall from near Bermuda to W Cuba
Mon and Mon night, then drift southeastward Tue through Wed
night. Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S. will shift
slowly eastward and into the NW Atlantic during this time, and
maintain fresh to strong winds and rough to very rough seas in NE
swell to the north of the front through the period. Mariners are
urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine conditions, and
take the necessary precautions to avoid these affected areas.
Please, see the latest NWS High Seas
Forecast issued by the National Hurricane Center at website
https:www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for further details.
Heavy Rainfall in the Northern Caribbean: A mid to upper level
trough over Florida, the NW Caribbean and the Bahamas combined
with abundant tropical moisture will support periods of heavy rain
over eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, the southern Bahamas, and
the Turks and Caicos Islands through Mon. Today, model guidance
indicates that the trough will begin to weaken and meander
northward. The main areas that are expected to be impacted by
abundant tropical moisture and heavy rainfall will then shift to
north and east of Cuba over the southern Bahamas, Turks and
Caicos, the Windward Passage and Hispaniola. The 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 axis extends from the coast of Africa near
16N17W southwestward to 09N34W. The ITCZ extends from 09N44W to
11N59W. Scattered moderate convection is seen from 04N to 25N
and east of 40W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A strong ridge extends over most of the eastern United States and
into the central Gulf, supporting fresh to strong winds east of
90W along with seas 6 to 9 ft. Elsewhere, mainly moderate winds
prevail along seas 4 to 6 ft.
For the forecast, the tight pressure gradient between the high
pressure and a stationary front across the NW Bahamas and into the
eastern Florida Straits will maintain fresh to strong NE winds
and rough seas over the eastern Gulf, including the Florida
Straits, through Wed.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Please see the Special Features section above for information
about the potential for heavy rainfall over eastern Cuba,
Hispaniola, and Jamaica, the Turks and Caicos and locations farther
east through the early part of the upcoming week.
A broad surface trough over the central Bahamas extends southward
across E Cuba to a 1010 mb low NE of Jamaica near 19.5N76W.
Numerous moderate to strong convection is along and ahead of this
low under an area of upper level diffluence that covers
Hispaniola and adjacent waters. Gust to gale force winds and rough
seas are likely within this area of convection between eastern
Cuba and Jamaica and south of Hispaniola between 69W and 72.5W.
Winds over the NW and portions of SW Caribbean are moderate to
fresh from the N while ENE winds of the same speeds are E of 74W.
Seas over these regions are moderate and slight between 74W and
78W where winds are light to gentle and variable due to the low
pressure.
For the forecast, a middle to upper level trough over Florida,
the Bahamas and NW Caribbean will shift very slowly eastward
through Tue and support scattered to numerous showers and
thunderstorms over the central Caribbean and Windward Passage.
Meanwhile, a broad surface trough over the central Bahamas
extending southward across E Cuba to a 1010 mb low N of Jamaica
near 19.5N76.5W, continuing to the SW Caribbean, will drift
eastward through Tue. Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S.
will continue to build southward across Florida and the Gulf of
America through early next week, leading to moderate to fresh N
winds and moderate seas across the western Caribbean W of the
trough through late Tue. Expect rough seas in large N swell across
the Yucatan Channel late tonight through early Tue. Otherwise,
moderate to fresh E-SE winds in the E Caribbean will diminish to
gentle to moderate speeds by Mon evening.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the Special Features section above for information
about a Gale Warning over the western Atlantic, and on heavy
rainfall expected for the southern Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos
Islands, the Windward Passage, and Hispaniola.
A stationary front extends from 31N56W to the NW Bahamas near
27N77W to the Florida Straits. Along the front, a 1010 mb low
pressure is near 28.5N66W. A surface trough then extends
southward from this low to Hispaniola adjacent waters. These
features are supporting scattered moderate convection north of 20N
and between 58W and 74W. Widespread strong to gale-force winds
and rough seas are north of the front and along the trough or
across many of the offshores N of 27N. Otherwise, the Azores ridge
dominates the remainder Atlantic subtropical waters, providing
mainly moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas, except for
fresh to strong winds funneling through the Canary Islands and
west of Cape Verde where rough seas are ongoing.
For the forecast west of 55W, strong to gale-force NE to E winds
will continue through early tonight, across the western and
central offshore zones, along and N of a stationary front
extending from 31N56W to the NW Bahamas near 27N77W to the Florida
Straits. Very rough seas to 20 ft are expected. The portion of
the front E of 70W is expected to begin to lift northward tonight
through Mon morning, and stall from near Bermuda to W Cuba Mon and
Mon night, then drift southeastward Tue through Wed night. Strong
high pressure across the eastern U.S. will shift slowly eastward
and into the NW Atlantic during this time, and maintain fresh to
strong winds and rough to very rough seas in NE swell to the north
of the front through the period. Mariners are urged to remain
alert to these dangerous marine conditions, and take the necessary
precautions to avoid these affected areas.

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.
