    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sun Oct 11 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.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 29W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 10-15 kt. A 1011 mb low pressure is analyzed
    along the wave and monsoon trough near 13N27W. The broad system
    is producing a large area of showers and thunderstorms, mainly
    from 06N to 17N and between 22W and 36W.

    Another eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 38W, south of
    19N, moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated
    strong convection is observed from 08N to 17N and between 33W and
    45W.

    A western Caribbean tropical wave is along 88W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 10-15 kt. The wave continues to interact with
    an upper-level low over the NW Caribbean, and is supporting
    scattered moderate to isolated strong convection over much of the
    NW Caribbean.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 14N17W and continues
    southwestward to a 1010 mb low near 14N27W, to a 1011 mb low near
    10N41W and to 06N46W. The ITCZ extends from that point to 05N52W.
    Aside from the convection associated with the tropical waves,
    scattered moderate convection noted long the monsoon trough and E
    of 24W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A cold front extends from 30N84W to 25N97W, then becomes
    stationary to 23N97W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
    convection is found ahead of the front over the eastern Gulf
    waters. A pair of surface troughs are analyzed S of the front
    across the southwestern portion of the basin. Scattered showers
    are also evident near these troughs.

    The moderate pressure gradient between the high pressure over the
    southern United States and the aforementioned cold front support
    moderate to fresh easterly winds over much of the NW and north-
    central Gulf, along with moderate seas. Elsewhere, moderate or
    lighter winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast, fresh SW winds, moderate seas, and scattered
    thunderstorms will persist over the NE Gulf through today. The
    front will move across the southeast Gulf through mid week. High
    pressure will build behind the front over the north-central Gulf,
    supporting E to SE winds and moderate seas from the Florida
    Straits to the Texas coast by mid week, and gentle breezes and
    slight seas elsewhere.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please read the Tropical Waves section for details on an active
    tropical wave in the western Caribbean.

    High pressure north of the islands extends into the Caribbean,
    forcing moderate to strong easterly trade winds and moderate to
    locally rough seas across much of the basin. The strongest winds
    and highest seas are found off Colombia. A broad upper-level low
    paired with an induced surface trough approaching the Leeward
    Islands is producing scattered showers and thunderstorms over the
    eastern Caribbean, affecting much of the Lesser Antilles.

    For the forecast, the surface trough will maintain unsettled
    weather across the NE Caribbean through today. High pressure north
    of the area will support moderate to fresh trade winds and
    moderate seas across the eastern and central Caribbean through the
    early part of the week, with fresh to strong E winds and rough
    seas across the Windward Passage and off Colombia. These winds and
    seas will diminish through mid week as the high pressure shifts
    eastward ahead of a cold front moving through the Gulf.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A cold front enters the tropical Atlantic near 31N48W and
    continues southwestward to 28N54W, then becomes stationary to
    31N70W. A few showers are noted near these boundaries. Meanwhile,
    showers and isolated thunderstorms are evident off NE Florida
    ahead of a cold front moving across the eastern Gulf of America.
    The modest pressure gradient between a strong ridge over the NW
    Atlantic and the aforementioned front and a trough north of the
    Leeward Islands sustain moderate to locally strong anticyclonic
    winds over much of the SW North Atlantic, west of 60W and north of
    the front west of 50W.

    The remainder of the Atlantic forecast region is under the
    influence of a 1025 mb high pressure located just SE of the
    Azores. The pressure gradient between its associated ridge and
    lower pressures in the vicinity of the monsoon trough supports
    moderate to locally strong NE to E winds N of the monsoon trough
    to about 26N and east of 40W. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds
    and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the cold front will move off the NE
    Florida coast early Mon, reach from 31N75W to near Jupiter Inlet,
    Florida by early Tue, and then stall and dissipate from Bermuda
    to the Upper Florida Keys by early Wed. Fresh N winds and
    building seas may follow another front reaching along 30N east of
    75W by late Thu night.

    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
