    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
    0430 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Tropical Storm Dolly is centered near 13.8N 42.3W at 28/0300 UTC
    or 1140 nm E of the Leeward Islands, moving W at 20 kt.
    Estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb. Maximum sustained
    wind speed is 35 kt with gusts to 45 kt. Peak seas are near 12
    ft. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is occurring
    within 90 NM of the center in the northern semicircle. A fast
    westward motion is expected to continue for the next couple of
    days. On the forecast track, this system should be nearing the
    Leeward Islands this weekend. Little change in strength is likely
    during the next 48 hours, and Dolly is forecast to degenerate into
    a tropical wave before it reaches the Leeward Islands. Heavy rain
    from Dolly could affect the Leeward Islands late Saturday into
    Sunday, with rainfall moving into the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico
    and Hispaniola Sunday and Monday. This heavy rain may produce
    flash flooding within areas of higher terrain of the Leeward
    Islands. Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the
    National Hurricane Center -
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml and the latest Dolly
    NHC Forecast/Advisory and Public Advisory at www.hurricanes.gov
    for more details.

    Caribbean Gale Warning: A tight pressure gradient between the
    subtropical ridge north of the area and the Colombian low will
    support fresh to strong easterly trade winds and rough seas to
    locally very rough seas in the south-central Caribbean through
    early next week. Winds will pulse to gale-force tonight off
    Colombia. The ASCAT scatterometer passes around 0130 UTC showed
    peak winds of near gale at 12N75W. Please refer to the latest
    HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National Hurricane Center at
    website
    - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is analyzed along 25W, south of
    20N over the Cabo Verde Islands while moving westward at about 15
    kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 09N-13N between
    24W-29W.

    A new tropical wave was introduced in Atlantic approaching the
    Lesser Antilles along 57W south of 20N. It is likely moving
    westward around 15 kt. No deep convection is noted in association
    with this system.

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean along 71W, south of
    19N from Hispaniola to Venezuela. It is quickly moving westward
    at around 20 kt. No significant convection is observed with this
    wave.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough exits West Africa from the Senegal coast near
    14N17W and extends southwestward to 10N24W. The ITCZ starts at
    09N36W to 07N58W along the coast of Guyana. Scattered moderate
    convection is noted from 09N-13N between 24W-29W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A weak 1015 mb high is centered over the central Gulf near 25N89W.
    Winds across the Gulf are moderate or weaker with seas 1-3 ft.
    Isolated moderate convection is noted north of 24N east of 90W.

    For the forecast, weak high pressure will persist across the Gulf
    waters through the next several days, supporting moderate or
    lighter winds and slight seas. Winds will pulse to fresh to
    locally strong with moderate seas off western Yucatan during the
    evenings due to a diurnal surface trough moving west off the
    peninsula each night. A frontal boundary will meander near the
    northern Gulf waters during the next few days producing scattered
    showers and isolated thunderstorms. Mariners can expect gusty
    winds and higher seas associated with these storms.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for details on the
    Gale Warning in effect for the waters off Colombia.

    Other than the gale winds just north of Colombia for a few more
    hours, fresh to near gale trades are occurring over the central
    Caribbean with seas 6-11 ft. Elsewhere, winds are moderate or
    weaker with seas 3-5 ft. Scattered moderate convection is
    occurring south of 12N west of 80W, associated with the eastern
    extent of the northeast Pacific monsoon trough.

    For the forecast, a tight pressure gradient between the
    subtropical ridge north of the area and the Colombian low will
    support fresh to strong easterly trade winds and rough seas to
    locally very rough seas in the south-central Caribbean through
    early next week. Winds will pulse to gale-force tonight off
    Colombia. Winds will pulse to fresh to locally strong in the
    Windward Passage at night. Tropical Storm Dolly is near 13.8N
    42.3W at 11 PM EDT, and is moving west at 20 kt. Maximum sustained
    winds are 35 kt with gusts to 45 kt, and the minimum central
    pressure is 1007 mb. Dolly will move to 14.3N 45.7W Fri morning,
    15.2N 50.2W Fri evening, 16.0N 54.7W Sat morning, become post-
    tropical and move to 16.7N 59.0W Sat evening, weaken to a remnant
    low near 17.0N 63.0W Sun morning, and dissipate Sun evening.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please refer to the Special Features section for more details on
    the Tropical Storm Dolly.

    Aside from the winds associated with Tropical Storm Dolly, the
    trades are moderate or weaker across the tropical North Atlantic
    except for fresh to locally strong N along Western Sahara and
    Mauritania. Seas are 3-7 ft across forecast waters. A weak surface
    trough extends from 28N67W to 31N65W and is associated with
    isolated moderate convection north of 22N between 61W-70W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will dominate
    the SW N Atlantic waters over the next several days supporting
    mainly moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas. Winds
    will pulse to fresh to locally strong off northern Hispaniola at
    night. Tropical Storm Dolly is near 13.8N 42.3W at 11 PM EDT, and
    is moving west at 20 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 35 kt with
    gusts to 45 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 1007 mb. Dolly
    will move to 14.3N 45.7W Fri morning, 15.2N 50.2W Fri evening,
    16.0N 54.7W Sat morning, become post-tropical and move to 16.7N
    59.0W Sat evening, weaken to a remnant low near 17.0N 63.0W Sun
    morning, and dissipate Sun evening.

    Tropical Storm Dolly Discussion Number   3
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL042026
    1100 PM AST Thu Aug 27 2026
    
    Dolly appears to be more or less maintaining its intensity at this 
    time.  However, the associated deep convection is not very 
    well-organized, with no well-defined banding features evident on 
    satellite images.  The center of circulation is estimated to be on 
    the north side of the main area of convection.  The Dvorak 
    intensity estimate from TAFB remains at 35 kt.  There was a 
    Metop-B scatterometer pass from just before 00Z which showed just a
    couple of 35-kt vectors.  Therefore the advisory intensity is kept 
    at 35 kt.  The scatterometer pass did not completely capture the 
    circulation of the storm but it did suggest some 
    north-northeastward to south-southwestward elongation of the center.
    
    The storm continues to move quickly toward the west and the initial 
    motion estimate is 280/20 kt, about the same as before.  Dolly is 
    forecast to move mainly westward at a fast forward speed for the 
    next couple of days on the south side of a strong high pressure 
    ridge over the central Atlantic.  There have been no significant 
    changes in the track guidance from earlier today.  There is 
    fairly good agreement amongst the various model tracks, and the 
    official track forecast is roughly in the middle of these tracks.  
    This is close to the latest Google DeepMind solution.
    
    Although it will encounter warmer ocean waters, Dolly is likely to 
    move into less favorable atmospheric conditions during the next 
    couple of days.  Some slight short-term strengthening is possible, 
    but increasing vertical wind shear, relatively dry air and the 
    fast forward motion of the system should begin to adversely affect 
    Dolly fairly soon.  The global models show the system degenerating 
    into a tropical wave while it approaches the Lesser Antilles, and 
    the NHC intensity forecast is close to the model consensus.   
    Post-tropical positions are provided at 48-60h given the risk of 
    gusty winds and heavy rainfall.
     
    KEY MESSAGES:
     
    1. Heavy rains from Dolly or its remnants could affect the Leeward
    Islands late Saturday into Sunday with possible impacts in the
    Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and Hispaniola Sunday and Monday.  This
    heavy rain may produce flash flooding, especially in areas of
    higher terrain of the Leeward Islands.

    SUMMARY OF 1100 PM AST...0300 UTC...INFORMATION
    -----------------------------------------------
    LOCATION...13.8N 42.3W
    ABOUT 1315 MI...2120 KM E OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS
    MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH...65 KM/H
    PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 280 DEGREES AT 23 MPH...37 KM/H
    MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1007 MB...29.74 INCHES
     
     
    WATCHES AND WARNINGS
    --------------------
    There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
     
    Interests in the Leeward Islands should monitor the progress of
    Dolly.
     
     
    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dolly was
    located near latitude 13.8 North, longitude 42.3 West.  Dolly is
    moving toward the west near 23 mph (37 km/h), and this motion is
    expected to continue for the next couple of days.  On the forecast
    track, this system should be nearing the Leeward Islands this
    weekend.
     
    Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts.
    Little change in strength is likely during the next 48 hours, and 
    Dolly is forecast to degenerate into a tropical wave before it 
    reaches the Leeward Islands.
    
    Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 115 miles (185 km)
    from the center.
     
    The estimated minimum central pressure is 1007 mb (29.74 inches).
     
     
    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    Key messages for Dolly can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
    Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT4 and WMO header WTNT44 KNHC.
    
    RAINFALL: Heavy rain from Dolly could affect the Leeward Islands 
    late Saturday into Sunday, with rainfall moving into the Virgin 
    Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola Sunday and Monday.  This heavy 
    rain may produce flash flooding within areas of higher terrain of 
    the Leeward Islands.
     
    NEXT ADVISORY
    -------------
    Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST.

    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.

    .CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
    55W AND 64W...
    None.

    .SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

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
