    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Wed Oct 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
    0550 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is along 35W, from 10N to 22N, moving westward
    near 10 kt. A tight gradient between the wave and high pressure to
    its north is producing fresh to strong easterly winds from 21N to
    26N between 28W and 36W. Seas with these winds are 8 to 11 ft
    (2.5 to 3.5 m). Satellite imagery shows scattered moderate to
    isolated strong convection from 18N to 26N between 27W and 32W.

    A tropical wave is near 48W, from 10N to 20N, moving westward at
    10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is from 15N to 21N
    between 41W and 49W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic near 13N17W to
    19N34W to 12N48W. The ITCZ extends from 11N52W to 09N60W. Scattered
    moderate convection is from 04N to 11N between 25W and 36W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A 1018 mb high is centered over southern Alabama and extends a
    broad ridge south-southwestward across the basin. Recent
    scatterometer data show gentle to moderate northeast to east
    winds across the eastern half of the Gulf S of 28N, and east to
    southeast winds of the same speed W of 90W. Seas basin-wide are
    in the range of 1 to 5 ft. Fair skies prevail.

    For the forecast, high pressure over the north-central Gulf will
    support E to SE winds and moderate seas from the Florida Straits
    to the Texas coast, and gentle breezes and slight seas elsewhere.
    A cold front is expected to enter the northwest Gulf Fri night,
    and reach from southwest Florida to the far southwest Gulf by Sat
    night. Strong to near-gale force winds and rough seas will follow
    the front, with gales possible off the coast of Mexico between
    Tampico and Coatzacoalcos late Fri night into Sun.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A middle-level low is supporting widely scattered showers in the
    lee side of Cuba adjacent waters, and in the Gulf of Honduras
    while an upper-level low over the eastern half of the Caribbean is
    supporting scattered heavy showers and isolated tstms over
    Hispaniola and its adjacent waters, including the Windward Passage
    and the Mona Passage. A recent scatterometer pass show fresh to
    strong ESE winds S of Haiti and in the Windward Passage.
    Elsewhere, winds are moderate or weaker, with seas fluctuating
    between 3 to 5 ft.

    For the forecast, scattered showers and thunderstorms will be
    active across the central Caribbean through tonight, associated
    with an upper-level low. Fresh E to SE winds will persist north of
    13N south and southwest of Jamaica through mid week, north of
    broad low pressure over the southwest Caribbean. Trade winds will
    increase along with building seas over the south-central Caribbean
    as high pressure builds over the western Atlantic.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Surface ridging anchored by a 1019 mb in North Carolina, and a
    1018 mb high in southern Alabama is starting to build over the SW
    N Atlantic waters just N of the Bahamas and west of a couple of
    surface troughs that linger between 53W and 68W. The remainder
    subtropical central and eastern Atlantic is under the influence of
    the Azores High, which is supporting moderate to fresh NE winds
    and moderate seas to 6 ft between the coast of NW Africa and 26W,
    including the Canary Islands. Moderate or weaker winds and
    moderate to slight seas dominate elsewhere N of 20N and W of 26W.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front will move southward
    into the waters east of 75W into Wed, then stall and dissipate
    along 29N through Thu. A stronger cold front will move into the
    waters off northeast Florida by late Fri night into early Sat
    morning, and reach from Bermuda to South Florida by late Sat.
    Strong to near-gale force winds and rough seas will follow the
    front.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL

    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
    55W AND 64W...

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
