    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0400 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Atlantic Gale Warning: A tightening pressure gradient the
    northwestern zones into Sun, the result of strong high pressure
    building southward over the western Atlantic and low pressure
    deepening near the Bahamas along a nearly stationary front that
    extends NE toward Bermuda, will induce widespread gales. NE to E
    winds of up to 40 kt and very rough seas will prevail for waters N
    of 27N between 60W and 76W through early Mon as the front remains
    in place, with conditions only slowly improving through mid-week.
    Mariners are urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine
    conditions, and take the necessary precautions to avoid the
    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 the northern Caribbean 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. By Sun, 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
    15N17W southwestward to 07N25W. The ITCZ extends from 08N38W to
    10N57W. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is seen
    from 09N to 16N between 22W-35W, and from 06N to 12N between
    31W-40W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure building into the southeastern United States
    continues to support fresh to strong NE winds over the NE basin,
    with moderate to fresh NE winds elsewhere. Moderate seas prevail,
    with locally rough seas offshore Florida.

    For the forecast, a tightening pressure gradient between the high
    pressure and 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 tonight 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 surface trough extends southward from 1013 mb low pressure
    centered just E of the Bahamas across eastern Cuba and Jamaica.
    The trough combined with upper-level diffluence east of a mid to
    upper-level trough axis over the NW Caribbean is support numerous
    strong convection N of 15N between 71W and 76W, including waters
    near Haiti and through the Windward Passage. Convection in the SW
    basin in association with the East Pacific monsoon trough has
    diurnally waned. Moderate to fresh NE winds encompass the NW
    Caribbean to the west of the aforementioned surface trough, and
    moderate to locally fresh trades are present in the eastern
    basin. Seas are generally moderate, except slight in the SW. The
    highest seas are in the Yucatan Channel, where heights are
    estimated to 7 ft.

    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 north-central Caribbean and Windward
    Passage. Meanwhile, a broad surface trough over the central
    Bahamas extending southward across Jamaica to 15N77W will drift
    eastward through Tue. Strong high pressure across the eastern U.S.
    will build southward across Florida and the Gulf of America
    through the weekend and lead to fresh N to NE winds and building
    seas across the western Caribbean W of the trough. Expect rough
    seas in large N swell across the Yucatan Channel Mon through Tue.
    Little change is expected elsewhere.

    ...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 31N52W to 29N69W to a 1013 mb
    low pressure near 26N74W. A surface trough then extends southward
    from this low across eastern Cuba. Widespread strong to gale-force
    winds and rough seas are north of the front, and to the east of
    the surface trough, numerous thunderstorms are noted from the
    Turks and Caicos southward into the Windward Passage and nearshore
    waters of Haiti. To the east, another surface trough extends from
    27N62W to just north of Dominican Republic. Numerous moderate to
    isolated strong convection is noted in association with this
    feature from 20N to 30N between 60W and 70W. Away from the
    convection strong S winds are E of the trough from 23N to 27N
    between 62W and 67W. Farther east, the Azores ridge dominates,
    providing mainly moderate E winds and moderate seas. Strong winds
    are funneling through the Canary and Cabo Verde Islands.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a tightening pressure gradient will
    continue to develop across the northwestern zones tonight through
    Sun as strong high pressure builds southward over the western
    Atlantic, and low pressure deepens near the central Bahamas, and
    just S of a stationary front along 28N-29N. 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 76W early
    Sun through 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.

    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...

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.
