    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Mon Jul 13 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1700 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A central Caribbean tropical wave is near 80W, south of 19N,
    moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate to strong
    convection prevails S of 16N and W of 78W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Mauritania
    near 19N16W and continues southwestward to 07N41W. The ITCZ
    extends from 07N41W to the coast of Guyana near 08N59W. Scattered
    showers and thunderstorms are noted along the monsoon trough and
    E of 30W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    Divergence aloft supports scattered showers over the north-
    central and NE Gulf waters. Scattered moderate convection is also
    occurring in the far SW Gulf along a surface trough. Ridging
    expanding from the Atlantic and into the Gulf sustains fresh
    easterly winds south of 24N. Seas in these waters are 3-5 ft.
    Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas
    prevail.

    For the forecast, a stationary front will prevail just N of the
    area through midweek, enhancing thunderstorms across the northern
    Gulf waters. Mariners can expect gusty winds, frequent lightning,
    and locally higher seas near the stronger thunderstorms. Fresh to
    strong easterly winds will pulse offshore the Yucatan Peninsula
    each night. Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds will prevail.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A broad subtropical ridge centered north of the Caribbean forces
    strong to near gale-force easterly trade winds across the central
    and SW Caribbean. Seas of 8-10 ft are occurring in the central to
    SW Caribbean. Fresh to strong NE-E winds and moderate seas are
    noted in the Windward Passage and the Gulf of Honduras. Moderate
    to locally fresh NE-E winds and moderate seas are evident in the
    eastern Caribbean and the lee of Cuba. Elsewhere, moderate or
    weaker winds and slight to moderate seas are prevalent.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure
    north of the basin and lower pressures over northern South America
    will support strong to near-gale force trade winds across the
    central Caribbean through the week. East winds will pulse fresh to
    locally strong each evening in the Gulf of Honduras and Windward
    Passage.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An extensive subtropical ridge dominates the tropical Atlantic,
    supporting fresh easterly trade winds south of the SE Bahamas and
    between 70W and 80W. Moderate easterly winds and moderate seas
    are occurring south of 22N and west of 40W. Elsewhere, moderate or
    lighter winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the subtropical ridge will remain
    dominant through the forecast period. The weather pattern will
    support moderate to fresh trades south of 23N, with gentle winds
    to the north. Pulsing strong winds are expected each night
    offshore Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage.

    Marine Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1122 AM EDT Mon May 17 2021

    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...
    None.

    .SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

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
