    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Thu Aug 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1020 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The Bermuda High will shift southward to
    the SW N Atlantic waters over the weekend, which will tighten the
    pressure gradient in the central and portions of the SW Caribbean,
    thus resulting in the acceleration of winds from fresh to strong
    to fresh to near gale force off Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela. Regional effects will further enhance the winds to
    gale force offshore Colombia at night Fri and Sat, thus building
    seas from rough to very rough. Please read 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...

    A tropical wave is over the E Atlantic with axis near 33W,
    extending from 06N to 16N, and moving west at around 15-20 kt.
    Scattered moderate convection is from 06N to 13N between 31W and
    39W.

    A tropical wave is over the central Atlantic with axis near 48W,
    extending from 07N to 18N, and moving west at 15-20 kt. No
    significant convection is associated with this wave at this time.

    A tropical wave is in the far W Caribbean with axis near 87W,
    extending southward from 19N into the E Pacific waters, and
    moving west at 10-15 kt. No significant convection is associated
    with this wave at this time.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 20N16W and continues
    southwestward to 11N30W to 10N40W. The ITCZ extends from 10N40W
    to 09N45W, then resumes W of a tropical wave from 08N49W to 09N60W.
    Aside from the convection associated with two tropical waves in
    the section above, numerous moderate isolated strong convection is
    offshore W Africa associated with the next tropical wave forecast
    to emerge off the coast later this morning.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A 1025 mb high located just NW of Bermuda extends a ridge across
    northern Florida SW into the Gulf, except for the Bay of Campeche
    where a surface trough is generating scattered showers and
    supporting moderate to fresh E winds along with moderate seas.
    Elsewhere, return flow is gentle to moderate and seas slight.

    For the forecast, surface ridging from the Bermuda High will
    dominate across most of the Gulf through late Mon, supporting
    gentle to moderate E to SE winds N of 22N along with slight seas.
    Pulses of fresh winds will occur north and west of the Yucatan
    Peninsula and into the Bay of Campeche each night as a surface
    trough migrates from the Yucatan Peninsula to the SW Gulf. Slight
    to moderate seas are forecast for this portion of the basin
    through Mon night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between a 1025 mb high located just NW of
    Bermuda and relatively lower pressure in northern South America
    continue to support fresh to strong trades over the central basin
    along with moderate to rough seas. Moderate to fresh trades are
    elsewhere over the E Caribbean, the Gulf of Honduras and in the
    lee side of Cuba. Seas are slight to moderate over the NW basin
    and moderate over the E Caribbean. In terms of shower activity, a
    surface trough starting to move across the Turks and Caicos is
    supporting scattered showers and tstms in the Windward Passage
    while the E extension of the E Pacific monsoon trough is
    supporting similar convection offshore Costa Rica, Nicaragua and
    Panama.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
    and relatively lower pressure in northern South America will
    continue to support fresh to strong trades in the south-central
    and portions of the SW basin through Mon night. Over the weekend,
    the ridge N of the region will shift southward, acting to increase
    the pressure gradient and accelerating the winds offshore
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela to near gale-force speed and
    to gale-force speed at night. Rough seas will prevail there,
    building to very rough at times this weekend with the increase in
    wind speed. Fresh winds will pulse in the Gulf of Honduras and
    Windward Passage through the forecast period, except over the
    weekend when winds are likely to pulse to strong speed. Otherwise,
    mainly moderate to fresh easterlies will prevail elsewhere.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Surface ridging from the Azores-Bermuda Highs dominate the
    subtropical Atlantic waters, which is supporting gentle to
    moderate NE to E winds between 23W and 60W. Over the far NE
    Atlantic, strong N-NE winds and moderate to rough seas are evident
    off Morocco and in the passages of the Canary Islands while a
    surface trough moving across the Turks and Caicos is supporting
    fresh to strong winds and scattered heavy showers over the Bahamas
    offshores.

    For the forecast west of 55W, an upper-level low NE of Freeport
    will continue to support scattered showers and thunderstorms
    offshore E Florida and in the Great Bahama Bank through early this
    evening. However, a westward moving surface trough over the
    central and southern Bahamas offshores, will resume the shower
    activity across the Florida seaboard and offshores Fri morning
    before shifting west of the area Fri night into early Sat. Aside
    from the shower activity, the surface trough will bring fresh to
    locally strong winds and rough seas across the Bahamas offshores
    through tonight. Fresh E winds will prevail N of Hispaniola and in
    the approaches of the Windward Passage through the period,
    reaching strong speeds Sun night into Mon as the Bermuda High
    shifts southward.

    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.

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
