    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sun Jul 12 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
    1000 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the Atlantic
    ridge and the Colombian Low will continue to gale-force off the
    coast of Colombia through this morning. Rough to very rough seas
    are expected with these winds.

    Please refer to the latest NWS High Seas Forecast at website:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean with axis along 70W
    south of 18N, moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Scattered showers
    and isolated thunderstorms are depicted along the wave axis from
    11N to 13N.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through near 18N16W and
    continues southwestward to 09N41W. The ITCZ continues from 09N41W
    to 07N57W. Scattered moderate convection is noted along the ITCZ
    and W of 47W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The western Atlantic surface ridge extends west-northwestward
    across Florida into the Gulf region. Associated southeasterly
    low-level flow continues to transport abundant low level moisture
    into the basin. Scattered showers are noted over the central
    Gulf. The subtropical ridge is supporting light to gentle winds
    east of 88W. Gentle to moderate E to SE winds prevail west of
    88W, except for moderate to fresh winds north of the Yucatan
    Peninsula. Seas 2 to 4 ft prevail across the basin.

    For the forecast, a frontal boundary will remain N of the area
    through midweek, enhancing thunderstorms across the northern Gulf
    waters. Mariners can expect gusty winds, frequent lightning, and
    locally higher seas near the stronger thunderstorms. Elsewhere,
    high pressure will dominate, supporting gentle to moderate SE
    winds. Fresh to strong easterly winds will pulse offshore the
    Yucatan Peninsula each night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
    gale conditions forecast for offshore Colombia.

    The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and the
    Colombian Low supports fresh to strong winds over the central
    Caribbean, with the strongest winds reaching minimal gale-force
    offshore Colombia. Rough to very rough seas are with these winds.
    Fresh to strong winds are also noted in the Gulf of Honduras.
    Moderate to fresh trade winds and moderate seas dominate the
    eastern Caribbean. Rough seas, generated by the strong winds in
    the central Caribbean, are reaching the SW part of the basin where
    moderate to fresh trades prevail. Scattered showers, with
    embedded thunderstorms, are over the SW Caribbean.

    For the forecast, the aforementioned pressure gradient between
    high pressure north of the basin and lower pressures over northern
    South America supports gale-force NE winds and rough seas over
    the south central Caribbean through this morning, and strong to
    near-gale trade winds across the central portion of the basin
    through the weekend. Trades over the Gulf of Honduras will pulse
    to strong each evening through the forecast period.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A diffluent pattern aloft is helping to induce scattered showers
    and thunderstorms across the waters N of 24N between 53W and 64W.
    The rest of the tropical Atlantic is under the influence of a
    broad subtropical ridge that sustains moderate to fresh winds
    south of 23N and moderate seas, except for strong winds north of
    the Hispaniola and the Windward Passage. Elsewhere, moderate or
    weaker winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will remain
    dominant through the forecast period, supporting moderate to fresh
    trades south of 23N, with mainly gentle winds to the north.
    Pulsing strong winds are expected each night offshore Hispaniola
    and in the Windward Passage.

    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.

    .GULF OF MEXICO...

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
