    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Mon Oct 26 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
    0400 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: A tight pressure gradient between high
    pressure building southward through the Mid-Atlantic U.S. and low
    pressure south of Bermuda and an associated stationary front
    extending into the Bahamas will continue to induce widespread
    strong to gale-froce NE to E winds and very rough seas to 20 ft
    into Mon morning. Gales will be present N of 27N between 62W and
    72W, with a broader area of very rough seas N of 24N and W of 60W.
    The low pressure will lift NE of the region on Mon, and gales will
    end, but with the stationary front remaining in place through
    mid-week, strong winds and very rough seas will likely continue
    through at least Wed night, mainly north of the frontal boundary.
    Mariners are urged to remain alert to these hazardous 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: Deep-layer troughing
    extending southward through the Bahamas into the NW Caribbean
    combined with abundant tropical moisture will support periods of
    heavy rainfall over eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, the southern
    Bahamas, and the Turks and Caicos Islands into Mon night. The
    trough will gradually shift N and E early this week, while
    weakening. Very heavy rainfall will bring a potential for
    dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding, particularly over
    portion of center Cuba and Haiti. 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 15N17W southwestward to
    06N31W. The ITCZ axis extends from 07N45W to 09N60W. Scattered
    moderate convection is noted from 06N to 10N between 22W and 27W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure building in from the Mid-Atlantic U.S. is supporting
    fresh to strong NE winds through the eastern basin, with gentle to
    moderate NE winds in the western Gulf. Rough seas, locally to 12
    ft, are in the eastern Gulf, with moderate seas in the west.

    For the forecast, a tight pressure gradient between a 1033 mb
    high pressure system over the Mid-Atlantic states and a stationary
    front that extends into the Bahamas supports fresh to locally
    near gale-force NE-E winds and rough seas over the E Gulf waters,
    including the Florida Straits. This weather pattern will persist
    into mid- week, followed by diminishing winds and seas into next
    weekend. Elsewhere, gentle to locally fresh easterly winds and
    moderate seas will prevail during much of the workweek.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    See Special Features section above for information on heavy
    rainfall over eastern Cuba and Hispaniola early this week.

    A 1009 mb low pressure is centered over far eastern Cuba near
    20N75W, with a surface trough extending southward from it to
    around 15N78W. A broad area of scattered moderate to isolated
    strong convection extends N of 15N between 71W and 79W, impacting
    both the Windward Passages and nearshore waters of Haiti. Moderate
    to fresh NW winds dominate the western basin, with moderate to
    fresh trades in the east. Seas basinwide are moderate, peaking
    around 7 ft in the Yucatan Channel.

    For the forecast, a deep trough over 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 extends
    from the central Bahamas southward to a 1009 mb low near E Cuba,
    continuing to the central Caribbean, and 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 Turks and Caicos Islands and
    Hispaniola.

    To the south of the gale-related low pressure and stationary
    front described in the Special Features section, a pair of
    troughs reside. One extends southward from 25N73W to far eastern
    Cuba and other stretches from 29N72W to Hispaniola. A broad area
    of numerous moderate convection encompasses the Bahamas, Turks
    and Caicos, and surrounding waters. To the east of the troughs,
    moderate to fresh SE winds and moderate seas extend E of 50W.
    Otherwise, the Azores high pressure ridge dominates the remainder
    Atlantic subtropical waters, providing mainly moderate or weaker
    winds and moderate seas, except for fresh funneling through the
    Canary and Cabo Verde Islands.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a tight pressure gradient between a
    robust ridge over the NW Atlantic and the eastern United States
    and a stationary front from near Bermuda to the Bahamas support a
    large area of strong to gale-force NE to E winds across the
    western and central offshore zones, along and N of a stationary
    front. Very rough seas to 20 ft are expected N of the front
    between 66W and 74W. 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 as a cold front. The
    aforementioned ridge will shift slowly eastward and into the N
    Atlantic during this time. The gale-force winds will diminish
    overnight, however, fresh to strong winds and rough to very rough
    seas in NE swell to the north of the front will persist through
    the period. Mariners are urged to remain alert to these dangerous
    marine conditions, and take the necessary precautions to avoid
    these affected areas.

    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.
