    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sun Jun 21 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
    1045 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 27W from
    03N to 16N. It is moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. This well-
    defined in satellite imagery, with a atmospheric moisture
    maximum as noted on Total Precipitable Water (MIMIC-TPW)
    animation imagery. Scattered moderate convection is from 02N
    to 07N between 24W and 30W.

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave has its axis along 42W from 02N
    to 17N moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Scattered moderate
    convection is within 180 nm east of the wave from 08N to 10N.

    An eastern Caribbean tropical wave has its axis along 64W/65W
    south of 19N to inland Venezuela. It is moving westward at
    15 to 20 kt. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are east of the
    axis in the vicinity of the Windward Islands. Scattered showers
    and thunderstorms are well inland Venezuela within 180 nm east of
    the wave axis.

    A western Caribbean tropical has wave moved inland Central America
    near 87W south of south of 19N. It is moving westward near 20 kt.
    An upper level low near the Yucatan Peninsula is helping to sustain
    scattered moderate to isolated strong convection east of the
    northern portion of the wave from along the eastern coast of
    Honduras north to 19N between the wave and 83W. For future
    information on this wave, please see the eastern Pacific Tropical
    Weather Discussion (TWDEP).

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic ocean near 19N16W,
    and continues southwestward to 06N25W and westward to 07N35W to
    07N41W and to 06N44W, where it transitions to the ITCZ to the
    coast of South America near 03N51W. Scattered moderate convection
    is within 180 nm south of the trough between 30W-35W, and
    within 120 nm north of the trough between 38W-41W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure ridging stretches westward from the western
    Atlantic to across Florida and to the central Gulf, reinforced by
    a 1016 mb high in the eastern Gulf. The pressure gradient between
    the ridge and the relatively lower pressures over Texas and
    northeastern Mexico has induced moderate to fresh southeast
    winds west of about 88W along with seas of 3 to 6 ft. Elsewhere,
    light to gentle winds prevail along with seas of 2 to 4 ft.

    Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is just inland
    the coast of Mexico from 20N to 26N supported mainly by a mid-
    level low feature and a nearby surface trough. Scattered showers
    and a few thunderstorms are over extreme southeast Texas.

    For the forecast, the high pressure will change little through
    much of the week. The pressure gradient between the high pressure
    and relatively lower pressures over Texas and northeastern Mexico
    will maintain mostly fresh southerly winds over the western and
    central Gulf through late Mon night before diminishing to gentle
    to moderate speeds. Slight to moderate seas will be with these
    winds. Light winds along with slight seas will be over the eastern
    Gulf through Thu night as a new high center becomes situated over
    the central Gulf.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Tropical Waves section above for convection
    across the basin.

    Broad high pressure is north of the basin over central Atlantic.
    The pressure gradient between the high pressure and lower
    pressures in northern South America will continue to generally
    allow for fresh to strong trade winds across the central
    Caribbean and the western Caribbean south of 19N through Mon.
    Seas over the south-central basin waters are 7 to 11 ft as
    confirmed by recent satellite altimeter passes and a few buoy
    observations. Seas are 4 to 6 ft south of 19N west of 80W.
    Moderate to fresh trade winds are elsewhere along with seas
    of 5 to 7 ft, except for gentle to moderate east to southeast
    winds and seas of 3 to 4 ft over the waters south of Cuba to
    near 19N.

    An area of scattered to numerous moderate to strong convection
    is confined to the southwestern section of the sea south of 12N
    and west of 78W to inland Panama, primarily due to the eastern
    segment of the East Pacific monsoon trough that reaches into that
    part of the basin.

    For the forecast, the high pressure will prevail north of the
    area into next week. The pressure gradient between the high
    pressure and lower pressures in northern South America will
    support fresh to strong trade winds and moderate to rough seas in
    the central Caribbean through the forecast period. The trade winds
    are expected to increase to near gale force across the central
    portion of the basin over a large area south of 15N, including
    along the coast of Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela starting
    Mon night through Tue night as Atlantic high pressure shifts
    southeastward. Seas are expected to build to around 13 ft with
    these winds. Pulsing fresh to strong winds and moderate to rough
    seas are expected in the Gulf of Honduras nightly well into the
    upcoming week. Moderate to fresh winds are expected over much of
    the remainder of the Caribbean through the middle portion of next
    week. A tropical wave currently in the eastern Caribbean near 65W
    will move across the rest of the eastern Caribbean this morning,
    and across the rest of the basin through late Wed. Scattered
    showers and thunderstorms are expected mainly east of the wave.
    A tropical wave has moved inland Central America, with trailing
    scattered moderate to isolated strong convection along the coasts
    of eastern Honduras and northeastern Nicaragua, and extending
    offshore to near 81W.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Broad high pressure that is anchored by a 1022 high center at 28N53W
    covers the area north of about 19N. The associated ridge axis near
    26N stretches west-southwestward along 25N/26N to South Florida and
    the Straits of Florida. The related pressure gradient is generally
    supporting moderate to fresh trade winds and moderate seas across
    most of the Atlantic south of about 22N as indicated by overnight
    satellite scatterometer data. Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds
    are north of 22N along with seas of 3 to 5 ft in southeast swell
    west of 55W, except mixed with northwest swell north of 27N between
    55W and 74W, and primarily in northwest swell east of 55W. In the
    eastern part of the area, a stationary front is from 32N30W to near
    31N39W. No convection is present with this feature. A trough to its
    southwest is analyzed from near 31N29W to 28N35W and to 27N39W.
    Isolated mostly light showers are possible near this trough.

    Upper-level jet dynamics along the southeastern periphery of a broad
    upper trough that is along the U.S. east coast are sustaining an
    area of scattered showers and thunderstorms north of 28N between 70W
    and 78W. A broad mid to upper-level low has helped to induce an area
    of multilayer clouds with embedded patches of rain and scattered
    showers over the waters northeast of the Lesser Antilles, roughly
    from 17N to 27N between 50W and 58W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the weak ridge along 25N/26N will
    shift slightly south today, and change little through Thu night as
    surface troughing lingers near and offshore Florida. Moderate to
    fresh trade winds south of 24N will pulse to strong speeds between
    the Turks and Caicos and Hispaniola through the forecast period.

    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.
