    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Mon Jul 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
    0230 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 31W S of 17N, moving W at 10 to 15 kt.
    Convection is described in the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ section below.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 38W and S of 18N, moving W at
    10 kt. Convection is described in the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ section
    below.

    An Atlantic tropical wave is near 48W south of 19N, moving W at
    around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted across the
    southern half of the wave S of 10N.

    A Caribbean tropical wave is near 79W, south of 19N, moving W at
    at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is active from 11N to
    20N between 78W and 86W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 20N16W to 10N20W.
    Segments of the ITCZ extend from 10N21W to 08N30W, from 05N32W to
    07N38W, from 07N39W to 08N47W, and from 08N49W to 08N58W.
    Scattered moderate convection is noted within 240 nm on either
    side of the ITCZ and W of 25W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    1016 mb high pressure is centered over the central Gulf near
    26N88W. A surface trough extends across the Yucatan Peninsula into
    the Yucatan Channel. Another trough extends from the western
    Florida Panhandle to south of Apalachicola, Florida. Isolated
    showers and thunderstorms are active near these troughs across
    the eastern Gulf and over the Yucatan Channel. Moderate to fresh
    NW winds are possible off the western coast of the Yucatan
    Peninsula. Gentle to moderate breezes are evident elsewhere. Seas
    are 1-3 ft seas across the basin.

    For the forecast, surface ridging is forecast to prevail across
    the basin through the forecast period, thus supporting gentle to
    moderate winds over the western half of the Gulf, except for
    locally fresh to strong ENE winds offshore the Yucatan peninsula
    at night. Locally moderate or weaker winds are forecast for the
    eastern half of the Gulf while mainly slight seas are forecast
    basin-wide.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The subtropical ridge extending north of the area across the
    western Atlantic is supporting moderate to fresh trade winds
    across the eastern and central Caribbean, with strong E winds
    noted off northeast Colombia and northwest Venezuela as well as
    the Gulf of Honduras. Gentle to moderate breezes are noted
    elsewhere. Seas are 5-8 ft over the eastern and central
    Caribbean, and 3-5 ft elsewhere except 1-3 ft in the far northwest
    Caribbean. A mid to upper level trough extends from the western
    Atlantic across eastern Cuba and Jamaica, and toward Nicaragua.
    Upper level divergent flow along with convergent lower level trade
    wind flow is supporting scattered showers and thunderstorms across
    much of the northwest Caribbean between Honduras and Jamaica.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge
    north of the basin and the Colombian Low will continue to
    support fresh to strong trade winds and moderate to rough seas
    over the central Caribbean through the weekend. The aerial extent
    of these winds will increase tonight into Mon as the Atlantic
    ridge continues to build westward. By Wed, the fresh to strong
    winds are expected to extend across most of the east, central and
    SW Caribbean. Expect winds to reach near-gale force at night
    offshore of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela from tonight
    through Fri. Moderate or weaker winds will prevail over the NW
    part of the basin, except in the Gulf of Honduras where fresh to
    locally strong E to SE winds are forecast at night through the
    forecast period.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    The Atlantic subtropical ridge dominates the Atlantic north of
    20N, and is anchored by 1026 mb high pressure centered near
    29N39W. Scattered moderate convection is occurring along a surface
    trough analyzed from 31N53W to 29N72W. The pattern is supporting
    gentle to moderate breezes and 3-5 ft seas along and west of the
    ridge axis, and moderate to fresh NE to E trade winds and 5-7 ft
    seas east and south of the ridge axis.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the Atlantic subtropical ridge will stay in place
    through the forecast period, developing a center of high pressure
    E of the Bahamas by Fri. This pattern will continue to support
    moderate to fresh E to SE trade winds S of 23N, and moderate or
    weaker winds elsewhere. Locally strong winds, with moderate to
    rough seas are expected at night north of Hispaniola, including
    approaches to the Windward Passage, through Fri night.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

    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.

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
