    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Mon Sep 14 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
    0330 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 47W, south of 18N,
    moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated
    strong convection is found from 07N to 16N between 43W and 49.5W.

    Another central Atlantic tropical wave is along 50W, south of
    17N, moving westward at near 15 kt. A few showers are found ahead
    of this wave between 10N and 13N.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic along the coast of Guinea-
    Bissau near 11N15W and continues to 10.5N19W to 08N31W to 11N44W.
    The ITCZ extends from 9.5N51W to near 12N67W. Scattered to locally
    numerous moderate isolated strong convection is observed from 06N
    to 12N between 11W and 22W. Scattered moderate isolated strong
    convection is noted from 05N to 10N between 22W and 34W, and from
    05N to 11.5N between 35W and 45W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A middle to upper-level low is centered over the western gulf and
    continue to promote unstable conditions and areas of active
    convection across the basin. However, as has been the case in
    recent nights, late afternoon-early evening convection has
    diminished significantly in recent hours. Scattered showers and
    isolated thunderstorms are occurring in a band over the central
    Gulf from 24.tN to 27N between 95W and the W coast of Florida.
    Scattered strong evening convection occurring over southern Mexico
    has drifted across the near shore coastal waters in the Veracruz
    area, and across much of the southern Bay of Campeche. At the
    surface, a 1017 mb high is analyzed near 28.5N86W, while a weak
    surface trough extends from central Florida southwestward into
    the coastal waters offshore of Marco Island. A weak pressure
    pattern prevails over the basin with light to gentle anticyclonic
    flow over most of the basin, with 1-3 ft seas, and fresh NE flow
    along the NW and W coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, where seas are
    3 to 5 ft.

    For the forecast, weak ridging centered over the NE Gulf will
    persist into Tue, supporting relatively tranquil conditions
    across much of the basin. The exception will be the Bay of
    Campeche, where a diurnal trough will move westward offshore the
    Yucatan Peninsula each evening through late this week, bringing
    nightly pulses of fresh NE winds. Starting late Tue, stronger high
    pressure building southward from the eastern United States will
    lead to increasing NE to E winds over the basin, with speeds
    reaching fresh to strong and rough seas over the northern Gulf Wed
    through Thu night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Middle to upper-level low pressure is centered over Haiti, and
    promoting unstable conditions over south and east portions of the
    Caribbean. Multi-layered clouds with scattered showers and a few
    thunderstorms prevail over most of the eastern basin E of 71W,
    across the Lesser Antilles to 58W. Scattered strong convection is
    occurring across the SW Caribbean south of 13.5N from western
    Panama to central Nicaragua. Weak high pressure across the NE Gulf
    of America and the western Atlantic is combining with a 1006 mb
    Colombian Low to sustain strong to near gale-force NE to E winds
    over much of the central Caribbean S of 16N. Rough seas of 7 to 11
    ft are occurring in these waters. Fresh to strong NE to E winds
    and seas of 4-7 ft are found in the Windward Passage and Gulf of
    Honduras. Moderate to locally fresh easterly winds and moderate
    seas are evident elsewhere south of 18N, including the eastern
    Caribbean. Moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas
    prevail across the remainder of the NW basin.

    For the forecast, the western Atlantic subtropical ridge centered
    NE of the Bahamas and extending into the NE Gulf of America will
    combine with lower pressure in Colombia to sustain fresh to strong
    with locally near gale-force easterly trade winds, and moderate to
    rough seas across much of the central Caribbean through the
    workweek. Strong winds are expected tonight in the Gulf of
    Honduras. Meanwhile, moderate to fresh easterly breezes are
    expected over the next several days in the eastern Caribbean.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas
    are expected.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Of note, Meteo-France has issued a Gale Warning for the ongoing
    easterly gap wind event through the Straits of Gibraltar. This
    warning will remain in effect through 14/06Z.

    A low level trough persists across the central Atlantic, with
    surface trough analyzed from 22N46W to 29N47W. A small and tight
    deep layered upper low is centered just W of this trough near
    27.5N50W, and is supporting scattered moderate isolated strong
    convection from 24N to 30N between 43W and 49W. Widely scattered
    moderate convection is also occurring near a pair of low level low
    centers along 30N between 55W and 68W. Otherwise, weak ridging
    continues from near Bermuda to the NW Bahamas, yielding light to
    gentle anticyclonic winds N of 24N and W of 65W, where seas are 3
    ft or less, while moderate to fresh easterly trades are occurring
    through the SE Bahamas and near the N coast of Hispaniola, where
    seas are 3 to 5 ft. A relatively weak pressure gradient dominates
    the tropical Atlantic with moderate or weaker winds across the
    waters between 30W and 65W, except moderate to fresh near the two
    tropical waves, and the surface trough along 46W-47W. Across the
    NE Atlantic waters moderate NE winds prevail from the Canary
    Islands to 30W and N of 20N, with seas of 5 to 6 ft.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a broad subtropical ridge dominates
    much of the basin W of 50W, and will force fresh to locally
    strong easterly winds off Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage
    tonight and Mon night, and moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. On
    Tue, strong high pressure building southward through the eastern
    United States will bring a cold front into the NW waters,
    producing fresh to locally strong NE winds and rough seas building
    6 to 9ft N of the Bahamas and W of 70W through Wed night. During
    the middle to later portion of the week, a trough of low pressure
    is forecast to move west- northwestward into the NE portion of the
    waters, bringing active thunderstorms.

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

    Central Subtropical Atlantic:
    A trough of low pressure located more than 1000 miles east-southeast
    of Bermuda continues to produce disorganized showers and
    thunderstorms. Environmental conditions over the system are
    currently unfavorable for development due to strong upper-level
    winds. However, as the system moves west-northwestward across the
    central part of the Subtropical Atlantic, it is forecast to enter a
    more conducive environment for gradual development by the middle to
    latter portion of this week.
    * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 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.
