    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Thu Jul 30 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...

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 28W, south of 19N just
    west of the Cabo Verde Islands, moving westward at 15 to 20 kt.
    Any nearby convection is described with the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ
    section below.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 47W, south of 17N,
    moving westward at around 20 kt. Any nearby convection is
    described with the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ section below.

    An eastern to central Caribbean tropical wave is along 70W, south
    of 20N near the eastern Dominican Republic to western Venezuela,
    moving westward at around 20 kt. Any nearby convection is described
    with the Monsoon Trough/ITCZ section below.

    A now departed NW Caribbean tropical wave is along 90W, south of
    19N over the central Yucatan Peninsula, moving westward at around
    15 kt. Any nearby convection is described with the Monsoon
    Trough/ITCZ section below.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic from Mauritania at 19N16W
    to 10N20W to 14N34W. The ITCZ extends from 14N34W to along the
    northern coast of South America at 06.5N58W. Isolated to widely
    scattered moderate convection is noted from 05N to 10N between 21W
    and 31W, and from 05.5N to 10.5N between 44W and 58W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A persistent surface trough is from near Cape Coral, Florida to
    the eastern Gulf near 26N88W. A cluster of scattered moderate to
    strong convection is noted from 26N to 29N between 83W and 86W.
    Otherwise, 1015 mb high pressure near 27N93W controls the basin
    with light to gentle anticyclonic winds from northwest of the high
    to the southeast of the high, with moderate return flow closer to
    the coastal locations around the periphery of the high. Seas are 1
    to 3 ft across the basin.

    For the forecast, a surface ridge will remain in control of the
    weather pattern across the Gulf region promoting gentle to
    moderate winds for the next several days. The exception will be
    fresh NE winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula
    nightly into the weekend. A trough extends from Tampa, Florida to
    29N87W while a mid to upper level broad trough north of the area
    is slowly advancing southward toward a very moist and unstable
    Gulf airmass. This set-up will maintain active weather in the form
    of scattered showers and thunderstorms mainly over the NE Gulf
    through the rest of the week.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A mid to upper level feature is supporting moderate convection in
    the NW Caribbean just southeast of the Yucatan Channel. Otherwise,
    high pressure at the surface over the central Atlantic and low
    pressure over northern Colombia supports the typical moderate to
    fresh trades across the basin from 11N to 18N, except locally
    strong near northern Colombia. Gentle to moderate winds are
    elsewhere. Seas are 5 to 8 ft from 10N to 18N to the east of 80W,
    and mainly 3 to 5 ft elsewhere except lower in the lee of Cuba.

    For the forecast, the coverage area and strength of the trades
    will increase into Thu as the pressure gradient between the
    Atlantic ridge and the Colombian Low increases. By that time,
    expect fresh to strong winds and moderate to rough seas across
    most of the eastern and central Caribbean, with the strongest
    winds to near gale, or possible brief gusts to gale and highest
    seas offshore Colombia. Fresh to strong winds are expected in the
    Gulf of Honduras nightly through Fri.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A frontal trough extends from near Bermuda to the NW Bahamas.
    Divergence aloft associated with an upper-level trough north of
    our waters supports scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
    within 120 nm of the trough axis. The remainder of the basin in
    under the influence of a broad subtropical ridge anchored by a
    1024 mb high pressure system near 30N50W.

    The pressure gradient between the aforementioned ridge and frontal
    trough support fresh to strong S-SW winds and seas of 6 to 9 ft
    north of 28N and west of 65W. Stronger winds and higher seas may
    be occurring near the stronger convection. Moderate to locally
    fresh easterly winds and seas of 5 to 7 ft are noted north of the
    ITCZ and monsoon trough to 22N and west of 40W. In the far
    eastern Atlantic, fresh to strong N to NE winds and seas of 4 to 7
    ft are evident from 15N to 30N and east of 20W. Elsewhere,
    moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas are
    prevalent.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the Bermuda High will maintain a
    ridge farther south than usual, roughly along 24N-25N, through
    Fri. This, in combination with a frontal trough over the western
    Atlantic will support fresh to strong SW winds along with
    scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms primarily north of
    27N and west of 65W for the next several days. Fresh to strong
    trades will pulse just north of Hispaniola at night and into the
    mornings through the upcoming weekend.

    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...

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
