    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Thu Sep 17 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.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave axis is near 30W, from 03N to 17N, moving westward
    at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 05N to
    16N between 26W and 38W.

    A tropical is in the E Caribbean with axis near 67W, south of
    22N, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection
    is noted from 14N to 24N between 56W and 70W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 17N16W to 09N37W. The
    ITCZ extends from 09N37W to 09N56W. Aside from convection noted
    in the tropical waves section above, scattered moderate convection
    is noted from 05N to 11N between 10W and 21W, and from 06N to 11N
    between 44W and 54W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The gradient related to high pressure over the SE U.S. that
    stretches a ridge SW to the Gulf is sustaining fresh NE to E winds
    and moderate seas over the NE and north-central Gulf. Elsewhere,
    moderate or weaker winds, and slight seas, are noted.

    For the forecast, fresh winds and moderate seas will spread
    westward to the NW Gulf waters today before improving Fri into
    Sat. A broad upper-level low will move towards Florida from the
    western Atlantic today through Fri. This feature will lead to
    increasing shower and thunderstorm activity over the eastern and
    central Gulf waters.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between ridging north of the area along
    with lower pressure over Colombia-Venezuela is supporting fresh to
    near-gale trades over the S central Caribbean. Moderate to rough
    seas are over these waters. Moderate to fresh winds, and moderate
    seas, are elsewhere east of 80W. W of 80W, gentle to moderate
    winds, and slight to moderate seas, prevail.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure
    over the western Atlantic and relatively lower pressure in NW
    Colombia will generally maintain fresh to locally near gale-force
    trades along with moderate to locally rough seas over most of the
    central Caribbean through the end of the week. Otherwise, moderate
    to fresh trades and moderate seas will continue across the
    eastern Caribbean through the weekend while winds diminish and
    seas subside elsewhere as the pressures gradient relaxes. A
    tropical wave currently moving across the Mona Passage will reach
    the western Caribbean over the weekend. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms will accompany the passage of the wave.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A stationary front extends from near Bermuda west-southwestward to
    the N Bahamas. Fresh NE winds and moderate seas prevail N of the
    front. Light to gentle winds, and slight seas, are SE of the front
    N of 22N and W of 55W. Fresh NE winds, and moderate seas, are
    noted near the Canary Islands, extending SW to near 38W.
    Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a tight pressure gradient between
    high pressure over the southeastern U.S. and the stationary front
    will maintain mostly fresh northeast winds and moderate seas W of
    the front through today. Conditions will improve late today into
    Fri as high pressure becomes the dominant feature across the basin
    into the weekend. A broad upper-level low located just east of
    the northern Bahamas in combination with a very moist and unstable
    environment will continue to support scattered to numerous
    showers and thunderstorms over most of the forecast waters the
    next few days as it moves in a west to northwest direction.

    Tropical Weather Outlook
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    800 AM EDT Thu Sep 17 2026

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

    Central Subtropical Atlantic (AL98):
    Showers and thunderstorms associated with a low pressure area
    located about 350 miles east of Bermuda have changed little in
    organization during the past several hours. Environmental
    conditions could support gradual development of the system during
    the next day or two, and a tropical depression could form during
    that time. The system is forecast to move slowly today, and then
    possibly turn southward on Friday over the subtropical Atlantic. By
    Sunday, environmental conditions are forecast to become less
    favorable for development.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

    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.

    .WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be
    coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by
    telephone:

    .GULF OF MEXICO...
    None.

    .CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN

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
