    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Sun Sep 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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    0400 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is analyzed along 21W, south of 20N, moving W at
    10 to 15 kt. No convection is noted with this feature at this
    time.

    A tropical wave is along 36N, south of 20N, moving W at around 10
    to 15 kt. Scattered showers are seen near the wave axis and S of
    15N.

    A tropical wave is over the eastern Caribbean along 67W, south of
    20N, moving W at around 10 to 15 kt. Scattered showers are near
    the northern end of the wave axis mainly between 56W and 69W.

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean with axis along 78W,
    and extends from eastern Cuba to near western Colombia. No significant
    convection is associated with this wave at this time.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Mauritania
    near 17N16W and continues southwestward to 09N25W, then westward
    to near 07N42W. The ITCZ extends from 07N42W to the coast of French
    Guiana near 05N52W. Convection is limited across the area.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A weak ridge continues to dominate the Gulf region, anchored by a
    weak 1014 mb high pressure centered near 26N86W. Light to gentle
    winds prevail across most of the basin, except gentle to moderate
    winds over the Bay of Campeche likely due to the pressure gradient
    between the ridge and a surface trough. Seas are generally 1 to 3
    ft. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are noted over south-central
    Florida and in the western Yucatan Peninsula.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient will support light to
    gentle winds and slight seas over much of the waters into late
    next week. Winds will pulse to fresh with moderate seas off western
    Yucatan during the evenings due to a diurnal surface trough moving
    west off the peninsula each night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The pressure gradient between high pressure to the north and the
    Colombian low is maintaining fresh to locally strong trade winds
    and 6 to 8 ft seas offshore Colombia, and in the Gulf of Venezuela.
    Similar wind speeds and moderate seas are noted in the Gulf of
    Honduras. Gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas
    prevail elsewhere. A tropical wave over Puerto Rico is supporting
    some convective activity. Showers and thunderstorms have developed
    over parts of Cuba, more concentrated in the central portion of
    the island. Similar convection is also affecting the Cayman
    Islands.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the subtropical
    ridge and the Colombian low is supporting fresh to locally strong
    trades along with moderate seas over the central Caribbean. This
    gradient will tighten starting Mon, leading to a broader area of
    strong, locally near-gale force, winds and rough seas, early next
    week. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate
    seas will prevail through the middle of next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A surface trough extends from 28N71W to the Turks and Caicos Islands.
    Scatterometer data indicate the wind shift related to the trough
    axis. This feature is producing scattered showers and thunderstorms.
    The remainder of the Atlantic forecast region is under the influence
    of a ridge, with the main center of 1026 mb located midway between
    the Azores and the Madeira Islands. The pressure gradient between
    this high pressure and lower pressures over NW Africa is promoting
    fresh to strong N to NE winds N of 18N and E of 21W, including
    the Canary Islands. Seas are in the 5 to 7 ft range with these
    winds. Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail elsewhere,
    except just offshore Hispaniola where moderate to fresh winds are
    noted.

    For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure will generally prevail
    across the area into the middle of next week, producing a weak
    pressure gradient. This will support moderate or weaker winds and
    moderate seas. A weak cold front will approach the northern waters
    then stall along 31N for the first part of week.

    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.

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
