    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sun Oct 25 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
    1030 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: A tightening pressure gradient will
    continue to develop across the western and central offshore zones
    today through this evening as strong high pressure builds
    southward over the western Atlantic, and low pressure deepens ENE
    of the central Bahamas, and just S of a stationary front along
    27N-30N. This setup is expected to induce widespread strong to
    near gale-force NE to E winds and very rough seas building to 20
    ft, with gale-force winds expected over much of the waters north
    of 27N and between 60W and 80W today through early Mon morning.
    The front is expected to stall from near Bermuda to the central
    Bahamas on Mon, with winds and seas diminishing very slowly
    through Thu. Mariners are urged to remain alert to these dangerous
    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: A mid to upper level
    trough over Florida, the NW Caribbean and the Bahamas combined
    with abundant tropical moisture will support periods of heavy rain
    over eastern Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica, the southern Bahamas, and
    the Turks and Caicos Islands through Mon. Today, model guidance
    indicates that the trough will begin to weaken and meander
    northward. The main areas that are expected to be impacted by
    abundant tropical moisture and heavy rainfall will then shift to
    north and east of Cuba over the southern Bahamas, Turks and
    Caicos, the Windward Passage and Hispaniola. The heavy rainfall
    will raise concerns for dangerous and life-threatening flash
    flooding. 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 the coast of Africa near
    14N16W southwestward to 07N27W. The ITCZ extends from 10N43W to
    10N60W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is seen
    from 04N to 25N between 20W-41W, and from 09N to 14N between
    56W-61W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A strong ridge extends over most of the eastern United States and
    into the central Gulf, supporting moderate to locally fresh NE to
    E winds across most of the E Gulf region, except locally strong E
    of 86W. Moderate to fresh ENE winds are elsewhere. Moderate seas
    prevail, with locally rough seas offshore NW Florida.

    For the forecast, a tightening pressure gradient between the high
    pressure and a low pressure forecast to deepen near the central
    Bahamas will bring fresh to strong NE winds and rough seas over
    the eastern Gulf, including the Florida Straits through early Wed.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for information
    about the potential for heavy rainfall over eastern Cuba,
    Hispaniola, and Jamaica, the Turks and Caicos and locations farther
    east through the early part of the upcoming week.

    A broad surface trough over the central Bahamas extends southward
    across E Cuba to a 1009 mb low E of Jamaica near 19N75W. Numerous
    moderate to strong convection is ahead of this low under an area
    of upper level diffluence that covers Hispaniola and adjacent
    waters. Gust to gale force winds and rough seas are likely within
    this area of convection south of Hispaniola between 68W and 75W.
    Winds over the NW and portions of SW Caribbean are moderate to
    fresh from the NNW while ENE winds of the same speeds are E of
    72W. Seas over these regions are moderate and slight between 74W
    and 78W where winds are light to gentle and variable due to the
    low pressure E of Jamaica.

    For the forecast, the mid to upper level trough over Florida, the
    NW Caribbean and the Bahamas will shift very slowly eastward
    through Mon and support scattered to numerous showers and
    thunderstorms over the central Caribbean and Windward Passage.
    The broad surface trough over the central Bahamas that extends
    across E Cuba to a 1009 mb low E of Jamaica 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 Jamaica through
    late Tue. Expect rough seas in large N swell across the Yucatan
    Channel late tonight through early Tue. Otherwise, moderate to
    fresh ESE 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 southern Bahamas, the Turks and Caicos
    Islands, the Windward Passage, and Hispaniola.

    A stationary front extends from near 31N48W to 28N65W. There is a
    1013 mb low just E of the central Bahamas while earlier scatt data
    also showed the presence of a stronger low of 1012 mb south of the
    front near 26N65W. A surface trough then extends southward from
    this low to Hispaniola adjacent waters. These features are
    supporting scattered moderate convection across the Atlantic
    offshores, except S of 24N between 55W and 63W. Widespread strong
    to gale-force winds and rough seas are north of the front or
    across many of the offshores N of 27N. Otherwise, the Azores
    ridge dominates the remainder Atlantic subtropical waters,
    providing mainly moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas,
    except for strong winds funneling through the Canary Islands where
    rough seas are ongoing.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a tightening pressure gradient will
    continue to develop across the western and central offshore zones
    today through this evening as strong high pressure builds
    southward over the western Atlantic, and low pressure deepens ENE
    of the central Bahamas, and just S of a stationary front along
    27N-30N. This setup is expected to induce widespread strong to
    near gale-force NE to E winds and very rough seas building to 20
    ft, with gale-force winds expected over much of the waters north
    of 27N and between 60W and 80W today through early Mon morning.
    The front is expected to stall from near Bermuda to the central
    Bahamas on Mon, with winds and seas diminishing very slowly
    through Thu.

    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.
