    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Fri Nov 6 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
    1920 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A 1004 mb low pressure area,
    located near 27N65.5W, is producing gale force winds to the north
    and north of the center, as observed on afternoon scatterometer
    satellite data. Widespread strong winds are occurring across much
    of the central tropical Atlantic, generally north of 27N between
    55W and 70W. Moderate to fresh winds are elsewhere from 20N to 31N
    between 55W and 72W. Recent buoy data indicate that rough seas of
    8 to 12 ft are occurring in this region, with locally higher seas
    to 16 ft noted near the gale force winds. Scattered moderate to
    isolated strong convection is also noted. Environmental conditions
    could allow this system to gradually acquire some subtropical
    characteristics during the next couple of days or so while it
    moves slowly eastward over the western and central subtropical
    Atlantic. By late this weekend, upper-level winds are forecast to
    become unfavorable for further development of this system. A new
    non- tropical low could form to its east this weekend. Although
    environmental conditions are unlikely to support significant
    subtropical or tropical development of that system, gale-force
    winds are possible over parts of the central subtropical Atlantic
    through the weekend. Winds and seas start to diminish thereafter,
    as environmental conditions are forecast to become unfavorable for
    further development. Please read the latest High Seas Forecast
    issued by the National Hurricane Center at website:
    https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html and the latest Tropical
    weather outlook at website: https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/TWOEP.html
    for more details.

    Heavy Precipitation across Central America: Deep-layer troughing
    over the northwestern Caribbean extends southwestward across
    northern portions of Central America and into the tropical
    eastern Pacific. This feature will interact with enhanced low-
    level moisture and onshore flow south of the monsoon trough over
    the next several days. This will favor heavy precipitation
    developing across Central America starting today and lasting
    through at least Friday. The heaviest precipitation is expected
    across Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with the bulk of precipitation
    occurring through today. Heavy rainfall may lead to life-
    threatening flash flooding and landslides. Please refer to your
    local weather agency and the International Desk at the Weather
    Prediction Center for more details.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 10N14W and extends to
    08N15W. The ITCZ extends from 08N15W to 10N40W to the coast of
    northern South America at 08N60W. Isolated to widely scattered
    moderate convection is noted from 01N to 14N between 16W and 42W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A stationary front extends from the northeastern Gulf near
    Pensacola, Florida and continues southwestward to 25N96.5W
    offshore of NE Mexico. Farther southeast, a weak 1013 mb high
    prevails, centered near 25N88W. This pattern is supporting
    moderate or weaker winds, and 1-3 ft seas across the basin.

    For the forecast, the stalled frontal boundary from the Florida
    panhandle to the NW Gulf will start to push southward as a cold
    front across the Gulf waters Friday. Near gale NW winds are
    expected in the SW Gulf Sun night and Mon west of the front.
    Moderate to fresh winds will prevail elsewhere west of the front
    on Sun through early next week as it moves east across the basin.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A 1008 mb low is centered over the northwestern Caribbean near
    17N82W with limited convection. Afternoon scatterometer satellite
    data indicate mainly light to locally moderate NE to NE winds are
    occurring northwest of this feature. Elsewhere, moderate to
    locally strong convection is noted south of Hispaniola, and gusty
    winds and rapidly building seas are likely in this region.
    Otherwise, moderate or weaker winds and 1-3 ft seas are occurring
    across the rest of the basin, slightly higher seas near Atlantic
    passages.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the basin will
    result in moderate or weaker trade winds, along with slight to
    moderate seas, through early next week. Winds will strengthen over
    the central Caribbean Tuesday.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section for information on a Gale
    Warning in the western Atlantic and the potential for subtropical
    development of this system (Invest AL94).

    Elsewhere, a cold front enters the central Atlantic near 31N25W
    and extends southwestward to 25N37W. Moderate to locally fresh SW
    winds are occurring south and east of the front. Farther west, a
    surface trough extending from 25N38W to 27N51W to 31N52W is
    producing locally fresh winds on either side of the feature.
    Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas are noted elsewhere
    over the basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a 1004 mb low pres centered near
    27N65W will drift through Fri then slowly move east-northeastward
    during the weekend. An area of strong to gale-force winds, and
    rough to very rough seas, peaking near 14 ft, prevails north of
    the low and will expand eastward through Sun, impacting the waters
    mainly north of about 27N. Elsewhere, a weakening cold front will
    move across the waters between Florida and 75W Fri and Fri night,
    then dissipate Sat and Sat night.

    100 PM EST Thu Nov 5 2026

    For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

    Western and Central Atlantic:
    A gale-force, non-tropical low pressure area located a few hundred
    miles south of Bermuda is producing disorganized convection to the
    north and east of its center. Environmental conditions could allow
    this system to gradually acquire some subtropical characteristics
    during the next couple of days or so while it moves slowly eastward
    over the western and central subtropical Atlantic. By late this
    weekend, upper-level winds are forecast to become unfavorable for
    further development of this system. A new non-tropical low could
    form to its east this weekend. Although environmental conditions are
    unlikely to support significant subtropical or tropical development
    of that system, gale-force winds are possible over parts of the
    central subtropical Atlantic through the weekend. For more
    information, including Gale Warnings, please see High Seas Forecasts
    issued by the National Weather Service.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
    * Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

    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
