    Tropical Weather Discussion...Corrected
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Wed Oct 14 2026

    Corrected Atlantic section

    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
    1730 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 39W from 10N
    to 20N, moving westward near 10 kt. Scattered showers are west of
    the wave axis from 13N to 17N between 40W and 44W.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along a position
    from 20N55W to 08N56W. It is moving westward at 10 to 15 kt.
    Scattered showers are within 120 nm west of the wave from
    08N to 09N.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic near 11N15W and
    extends to 08N20W, where it transitions to the ITCZ to 05N31W
    to 06N45W and to near 08N56W. Scattered moderate to isolated
    strong convection is within 240 nm north of the ITCZ between
    27W-33W. Scattered moderate convection is within 120 nm south of
    the ITCZ between 18W-22W and between 24W-28W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A high pressure ridge extends from a 1020 mb high center that
    is over eastern Tennessee southwestward to the western Gulf while
    an old frontal boundary extends from the Straits of Florida to
    just west of the western tip of Cuba. Recent scatterometer
    satellite data along with buoy observations reveal mostly moderate
    east winds south of 27N east of 91W, and moderate to fresh east
    to southeast winds west of 91W. Light to gentle winds east to
    southeast winds are elsewhere. Seas are in the range of 3 to 5 ft,
    except for slightly lower seas of 2 to 4 ft over the northern
    Gulf.

    For the forecast, the aforementioned ridge will dominate the Gulf
    region through Fri producing gentle to moderate E to SE winds and
    slight to moderate seas. A cold front is forecast to enter the
    northwest Gulf Fri evening, and reach from southwest Florida to
    the central Bay of Campeche by late Sat. Fresh to strong winds and
    moderate to rough seas will follow the front, with gales possible
    over the west-central Gulf by Sat morning, and over the SW Gulf
    by late Sat. Rough to very rough seas are expected with the
    strongest winds. Gale conditions are forecast to persist over the
    SW Gulf trough Sun.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A mid-level low located south-southwest of the western tip of
    Cuba continues to sustain scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms over the waters south of Cuba, and in the Gulf of
    Honduras while a mid to upper-level low over the central Caribbean
    continues to support scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
    over Hispaniola and its adjacent waters, including the waters just
    south of the Mona Passage. This activity reaches southward to near
    14N and east of 75W to 66W. Latest scatterometer satellite data
    reveals a wide swath of fresh to strong east to southeast winds over
    the waters southwest of Haiti roughly from 14N to 18N between 72W
    and 77W. A container ship, with caller ID "OXK02"-Olivia Maersk,
    reported southeast winds of 35 kt near 17.5N75W at 15Z as a gust
    front racing to the northwest generated by the convective activity
    south of Hispaniola passed over it. This feature helped set-off
    moderate convection over Jamaica. A weak low of 1010 mb is analyzed
    in the southwestern Caribbean near 13N79W. A trough extends from the
    low north-northeastward to just south of Jamaica. Scattered showers
    and thunderstorms are seen from 11N to 17N between 75W and 79W.
    Isolated showers and thunderstorms are elsewhere west of 75W. A 60
    nm wide area of fresh to strong east to southeast winds is south of
    Haiti between 71W and 73W. Similar winds are just offshore the coast
    of Colombia between 73W and 74W. Recent scatterometer satellite data
    reveals moderate or weaker trades elsewhere, except for trades of
    moderate to fresh speeds north and northeast of the western
    Caribbean low pressure. Seas across the basin are mostly in the
    range of 3 to 5 ft, except for slightly higher seas of 4 to 6 ft
    from 11N to 18N between 76W and 80W and lower seas of 2 to 4 ft
    north of 15N between 64W and 85W, and in the Gulf of Honduras and in
    the approaches to the Windward Passage.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure
    over the western Atlantic and relatively lower pressure in
    northern South America will support moderate to fresh trade winds
    offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela through the
    upcoming weekend, with locally rough seas offshore Colombia.
    Moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail
    elsewhere. Moisture associated with a mid to upper-level low over
    the central Caribbean will reach the northwestern Caribbean on
    Thu, keeping the chances of showers and thunderstorms across the
    basin.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...Corrected

    Surface ridging anchored by a 1020 mb in eastern Tennessee
    reaches southward and southeastern to across the waters just north
    of the Bahamas. A trough, an old frontal boundary, extends from a
    1014 mb low well north of the area near 35N55W southwestward to
    31N62W, to 28N70W, to the central Bahamas and to the Straits of
    Florida. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are within 30 to 60
    nm northwest of the trough west of 75W, and within 30 nm either
    side of the trough between 75W and 68W. To the east, a 1015 mb low
    is centered near 25N67W, with a trough extending northeastward to
    31N58W, and another trough extending from the low southwestward
    to near 22N71W. An area of scattered moderate convection is
    evident over the north-central waters north of about 28N and
    between 45W and 49W. This activity is ahead of an upper shortwave
    trough that is approaching from the NW.

    Over the eastern Atlantic, a weak 1013 mb low is near 20N35W as
    detected by a couple of recent scatterometer satellite data passes.
    A trough extends from the low north-northwestward to 28N38W. A small
    mid to upper-level low moving west-southwestward is seen in water
    vapor imagery near 25N41W while a larger upper-level low moving
    westward is seen near 19N51W. Mostly broken to overcast mid to upper-
    level clouds are present to the east and northeast of these
    features. Embedded scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are
    noted from 23N to 28N between 30W and the trough that extends from
    the 1013 mb low. A tight gradient between the trough and high
    pressure to its north has resulted in an area of fresh to strong
    east to southeast winds that covers the water roughly from 20N to
    26N between 30W and 33W, and also from 23N to 26N between 33W and
    37W. Seas are in the range of 8 to 11 ft within this area of winds.
    The remainder subtropical central and eastern Atlantic is under the
    influence of the Azores High, which is generally supporting moderate
    to fresh northeast winds and moderate seas to 6 ft between the coast
    of NW Africa and 24W, including the waters adjacent to the Canary
    Islands. Seas peaking to around 6 ft are with these winds as
    indicated by an overnight altimeter satellite data pass. Moderate or
    weaker winds along with slight to moderate seas are elsewhere north
    of 20N and west of 24W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, moisture associated with the
    scattered shower and thunderstorm activity that is northwest
    of the trough, the old frontal boundary, that extends from 31N62W
    to the Straits of Florida will advect northward through at least
    Thu. A cold front will reach waters east of northeast Florida on
    Fri, with little change in winds and seas. A stronger cold front
    is expected to move across the waters off northeast Florida by
    late Fri night into early Sat morning, then reach from Bermuda to
    South Florida by late Sat. Strong to near-gale force winds and
    rough seas will follow the front.

    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.
