    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Thu Jul 9 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1800 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the central
    Atlantic high pressure and lower pressures over northern South
    America will support strong to near gale-force northeast to east
    trades over the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of
    Venezuela into the weekend. Winds are forecast to pulse to gale-
    force off the coast of Colombia and the Gulf of Venezuela Fri
    night and again Sat night. Seas are expected to peak around 14 ft
    off Colombia Sat night.

    Please refer to the latest NWS High Seas Forecast at website:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 40W south of
    15N moving westward at 15-20 kt. No significant convection is
    occurring near the wave.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave is along 67W south of 18N
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
    are occurring from the Mona Passage south to about 14N between 64W
    and 70W.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave is analyzed along 76W from 19N
    southward. It is moving westward around 10-15 kt. Numerous strong
    and large convective clusters have recently formed over Colombia
    and the offshore waters S of 11N and E of 78W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 19N16W and continues southwestward to 10N24W,
    where it transitions to the ITCZ to 10N37W. It resumes at 08N42W
    to 05N52W. Scattered moderate convection is S of 08N and W of 49W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Numerous moderate to strong convection is ongoing along a surface
    trough running from the Bay of Campeche to the W Gulf. Upper
    level troughing N of the region as well as convergent surface
    winds in the E Gulf also support widely scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms across portions of the Gulf N of 24N
    between 85W and 90W. Outside of convection, gentle to moderate or
    weaker E to SE winds and slight seas prevail across the Gulf.

    For the forecast, high pressure extending westward from the
    Atlantic across central Florida and over the Gulf will change
    little through Sat, then shift slightly southeastward afterward.
    The weather pattern will support gentle to moderate east to
    southeast winds south of 26N east of 94W, and light to gentle
    southeast to south-southwest winds north of 26N into the weekend.
    Light and variable winds are south of 26N west of 94W. These winds
    will gentle to moderate east to southeast winds tonight and
    change little into next week. The exception will be occasional
    fresh to strong northeast to east winds offshore the Yucatan
    peninsula at night. A mid-level trough combined with a very moist
    and unstable environment is generating scattered to numerous
    showers and thunderstorms over the SW Gulf. Isolated showers and
    thunderstorms are elsewhere south of about 28N. This activity is
    expected to persist into tonight as it lifts north.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
    gale conditions offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela
    later this week and weekend.

    The pressure gradient between ridging over the Atlantic and lower
    pressures over northern South America continues to support fresh
    to strong trades and rough seas across much of the central to SW
    Caribbean, as well as through the Windward Passage. An altimeter
    pass from early this morning confirmed seas of 13-15 ft occurring
    offshore NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh trades and moderate seas
    prevail in the eastern Caribbean and the Gulf of Honduras. Gentle
    to moderate or weaker winds and 2-5 ft seas prevail elsewhere.
    Scattered moderate convection is ongoing across the SW Caribbean,
    enhanced by the eastern extension of the East Pacific monsoon
    trough. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are also
    occurring over the waters between Jamaica, Cuba, and Haiti.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between central Atlantic
    high pressure and lower pressure over northern South America will
    support fresh to near gale trades over the central Caribbean for
    the next several days. Winds will pulse to gale-force Fri night,
    and Sat night off Colombia. Gale-force winds are also expected in
    the Gulf of Venezuela Fri night and Sat night. Trades over the
    Gulf of Honduras will pulse to fresh to strong speeds in the late
    afternoons and evenings through early next week. A tropical wave
    in the eastern Caribbean is accompanied by scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms. This activity will continue near the
    tropical wave as it moves rapidly across the central and western
    Caribbean the next couple of days.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A weak stationary front segment runs along 30/31N between 34W and
    44W. No notable convection or changes in marine conditions are
    occurring. Ridging prevails across much of the tropical and
    subtropical Atlantic, with moderate to fresh trades and moderate
    seas prevailing across areas S of 22N and W of 35W. Locally
    strong trades are seen along the northern coast of Hispaniola and
    into the Windward Passage, as well as from 02N to 08N between 40W
    and the Lesser Antilles. Another area of fresh to strong winds
    from the NE is occurring N of 22N and E of 35W between a stronger
    pressure gradient between Atlantic high pressure and lower
    pressures over Africa. Gentle to moderate or weaker winds and 3-6
    ft seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure ridging near 27N will
    change little through the period. The weather pattern will
    generally support moderate to fresh trades south of 23N, and light
    to gentle winds north of 23N, except north of 29N where moderate
    to fresh south to southwest winds will prevail through Sat night.
    Strong winds along with moderate to rough seas are expected at
    night north of Hispaniola, including the approaches to the
    Windward Passage through early next week.

    Marine Weather Discussion

    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...

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.
