    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Fri Aug 7 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
    0940 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the Bermuda
    High and the Colombian low will continue to support fresh to strong
    trades in the south-central and portions of the SW Caribbean
    through Tue night. Over the weekend, the ridge N of the region
    will shift southward, acting to increase the pressure gradient and
    accelerating the winds offshore Colombia and in the Gulf of
    Venezuela to near gale-force speed and to gale-force speed at
    night. Rough seas will prevail there, building to very rough at
    times this weekend with the increase in wind speed.

    Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at website
    - https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is E of the Cape Verde Islands with axis near 22W,
    extending from 05N to 19N, and moving west at 5-10 kt. Numerous
    moderate to strong convection extends from 06N to 20N between 11W
    and 22W.

    A tropical wave is in the central Atlantic with axis near 41W,
    extending from 05N to 19N, and moving west at 15-20 kt. No
    significant convection is associated with this wave at this time.

    A tropical wave is E of the Lesser Antilles with axis near 53W,
    extending from 05N to 20N, and moving west at 15-20 kt. Scattered
    moderate convection extends from 07N to 12N between 48W and 58W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 17N16W to 12N38W. The
    ITCZ continues from 10N41W to 06N57W. Aside from the convection
    associated with the tropical waves, limited convective activity is
    noted elsewhere.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Weak ridging extends from the southwestern Atlantic to the
    western Gulf. This pattern is supporting gentle to moderate E to
    SE winds across the Gulf and slight seas. In the Bay of Campeche,
    a surface trough is supporting moderate to fresh winds as well as
    scattered showers. Otherwise, scattered showers associated with a
    surface trough moving across the northern Bahamas are reaching the
    SE Gulf.

    For the forecast, surface ridging from the Bermuda High will
    dominate across most of the Gulf through late Tue, supporting
    gentle to moderate E to SE winds north of 24N along with slight
    seas. Pulses of fresh winds will occur north and west of the
    Yucatan Peninsula and into the Bay of Campeche each night as a
    surface trough migrates from the Yucatan Peninsula to the SW Gulf.
    Slight to moderate seas are forecast for this portion of the
    basin through Tue night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between a 1025 mb high located NW of
    Bermuda, and the Colombian low continues to support fresh to
    strong trades over the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf
    of Venezuela, along with moderate to rough seas. Moderate to
    fresh trades are elsewhere over the SW and E Caribbean with
    moderate seas. Otherwise, an upper-level low centered between
    Jamaica and Haiti is supporting scattered showers and
    thunderstorms in the Windward Passage and the lee side of Cuba.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
    and relatively lower pressure in northern South America will
    continue to support fresh to strong trades in the south-central
    and portions of the SW basin through Tue night. Over the weekend,
    the ridge N of the region will shift southward, acting to increase
    the pressure gradient and accelerating the winds offshore
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela to near gale-force speed and
    to gale-force speed at night. Rough seas will prevail there,
    building to very rough at times this weekend with the increase in
    wind speed. Fresh winds will pulse in the Gulf of Honduras and
    Windward Passage through the forecast period, except over the
    weekend when winds may pulse to strong speed. Otherwise, mainly
    moderate to fresh easterlies will prevail elsewhere.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Scattered showers and thunderstorms are active across the northern
    Bahamas and adjacent waters due to a westward moving surface
    trough. Aside from the shower activity, the trough is bringing
    moderate to fresh E to SE winds to the Bahamas offshores along
    with moderate to locally rough seas. Surface ridging dominate the
    remainder subtropical Atlantic waters, thus providing moderate or
    weaker winds between 30W and 65W. East of 30W, fresh to locally
    strong NE winds and moderate seas prevail across the Canary
    Islands and off Western Sahara.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a westward moving surface trough
    over the northern Bahamas offshores will support showers and
    thunderstorms activity across the Florida seaboard and offshores
    through this morning before shifting west of the area tonight into
    early Sat. Aside from the shower activity, the surface trough
    will bring fresh winds and moderate to rough seas across the
    Bahamas offshores through this afternoon. Fresh E winds will
    prevail N of Hispaniola and in the approaches of the Windward
    Passage through the period, reaching strong speeds Sun night, Mon
    night, and Tue night as the Bermuda High shifts southward.

    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
