    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Mon Jul 13 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    2200 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean with axis along 73W
    and extends from Haiti to the Venezuela/Colombia border where the
    wave appears to enhance moderate to isolated strong convection.
    The wave is moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms follow the wave axis affecting mainly the waters
    from 13N to 16N between 64W and 73W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Mauritania
    near 19N16W and continues southwestward to 09N38W. The ITCZ extends
    from 09N38W to the coast of Guyana near 08N60W. Convection is limited
    across the area.

    ...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 to numerous showers and thunderstorms are noted along the
    coastal waters on the N Gulf states. Similar convective activity
    is occurring over north-central Florida, mainly N of Lake Okeechobee.
    The ridge is supporting gentle to moderate winds, except moderate
    to locally fresh winds over the SW Gulf. Seas are generally 2 to 4
    ft throughout.

    For the forecast, a stationary front will reside just 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. Fresh to strong
    easterly winds will pulse offshore the Yucatan Peninsula each night.
    Elsewhere, high pressure will dominate, supporting gentle to moderate
    SE winds.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and the Colombian
    Low supports fresh to strong winds over the central Caribbean. Seas
    are 10 to 13 ft with these winds offshore Colombia based on altimeter
    data. Fresh to locally strong winds are noted in the Gulf of Honduras,
    and in the SW part of the basin reaching the coast of Nicaragua.
    Moderate to rough seas are with the latter winds. Moderate to fresh
    trade winds and moderate seas prevail across the remainder of the
    basin. Scattered showers, with embedded thunderstorms, are over the
    SW Caribbean, affecting mainly Panama.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure north
    of the basin and lower pressures over northern South America will
    continue to support strong to near-gale force trade winds across
    the central Caribbean into mid-week. East winds will pulse strong
    each evening in the Gulf of Honduras and Windward Passage.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A diffluent pattern aloft is helping to induce scattered showers
    and thunderstorms across the waters N of 23N between 50W and 67W.
    A surface trough is analyzed in this area and runs from 31N57W to
    23N64W. The rest of the tropical Atlantic is under the influence
    of a broad subtropical ridge that sustains moderate to fresh trade
    winds and moderate seas. 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.

    Of note: While The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring
    several areas with the potential for tropical cyclone development
    across the eastern and central Pacific, the Atlantic basin remains
    relatively quiet. No tropical waves are currently noted between W
    Africa and the Lesser Antilles. This pattern is typical during an
    El Nino year.

    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.

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
