    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Thu Nov 5 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
    2000 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A sharp trough is analyzed this
    afternoon from 31N66.5W to 1008 mb low pressure near 27N63W, with
    a stationary front extending from west through the low to east. A
    large area of fresh to strong NE-E winds are found from 27N to 31N
    between 55W and 70W with gale force winds across the northern
    portion of those waters. Associated seas are 8-13 ft. The
    pressure gradient is expected to continue to support near gale to
    gale force NE to E winds roughly over the waters N of 29N between
    60W and 70W. Gale-force winds may continue across northern
    portions of this expected broad low pressure into late Sat. Seas
    are expected to build to 10-15 ft with these winds through Thu as
    the low pressure drifts east-northeastward. Environmental conditions
    could support this system gradually acquiring subtropical
    characteristics through this weekend while it moves slowly
    eastward over the western and central subtropical Atlantic. By
    early next week, environmental conditions are forecast to become
    unfavorable for further development. Please read the latest High
    Seas Forecast issued by the National Hurricane Center at website:
    https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html

    Heavy Precipitation across Central America: Deep-layer troughing
    over the northwestern Caribbean extends southwestward across
    northern portions of Central America and into the tropical
    eastern Pacific. This feature will interact with enhanced low-
    level moisture and onshore flow south of the monsoon trough over
    the next several days. This will favor heavy precipitation
    developing across Central America starting today and lasting
    through at least Friday. The heaviest precipitation is expected
    across Nicaragua and Costa Rica, with the bulk of precipitation
    occurring through Thursday. Heavy rainfall may lead to life-
    threatening flash flooding and landslides. Please refer to your
    local weather agency and the International Desk at the Weather
    Prediction Center for more details.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic from 11N15W to 07N22W. The
    ITCZ extends from 07N22W to 10N35W to 07N45W to near Trinidad and
    Tobago and the NE coast of Venezuela at 10N63W. Scattered to
    numerous moderate convection is noted from 03N to 10N between 21W
    and 44W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A cold front reaches from the SE LA coast and border with
    Mississippi near 30.5N89.5W to just north of Tampico, Mexico.
    Moderate to fresh N to NE winds follow the front. Scattered
    moderate convection is occurring in the far NE Gulf, driven by
    convergent surface winds in the E Gulf and an old pre-frontal
    trough near the FL Panhandle. Surface ridging prevails elsewhere
    across much of the Gulf, supporting gentle to moderate or weaker
    winds and 2-4 ft seas.

    For the forecast, a cold front across the NW Gulf will weaken and
    dissipate tonight. Moderate northwest to north winds prevail west
    of the front. The next cold front is expected to move across the
    Gulf waters this weekend. Fresh to strong north winds will develop
    west of the front and west of 93W on Sun, with moderate north to
    northeast winds elsewhere behind the front.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Deep-layer troughing across the northwestern Caribbean supports
    scattered moderate to strong convection from 14N to 22N between
    75W and 81W. Elsewhere, the pressure gradient between surface
    ridging in the Atlantic and the 1009 mb low just off NW Colombia
    supports mainly moderate trades in the SE and NW Caribbean with
    light to gentle winds across the remainder of the waters. Seas of
    1-4 ft are seen across the Caribbean.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the area is
    supporting moderate trade winds, along with moderate seas, over
    the central and eastern Caribbean. Light to gentle winds and
    slight to moderate seas are over the western Caribbean. The
    pressure gradient will further loosen across the area today. This
    will diminish the moderate trades across the central and eastern
    Caribbean.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section for information on a Gale
    Warning in the western Atlantic.

    A cold front enters the open high seas waters through 31N30W to
    25N38W then continues as stationary through 27N47W to 24N55W to
    the 1008 mb Special Features low near 27N63W to 27N66W. Scattered
    moderate to strong convection is occurring from 22N to 31N between
    50W and 66W. Additional isolated to widely scattered moderate
    convection occurring farther east along the front from 22N to 28N
    between 30W and 50W, as well as ahead of the cold front to 19W to
    the N of 25N. In addition to the winds and seas described in the
    Special Features section above, moderate to fresh NE winds and 5-8
    ft seas prevail across much of the waters N of 25N and the front.
    Gentle to moderate or weaker trades and 3-6 ft seas prevail
    elsewhere across the basin.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a 1008 mb low pressure centered
    near 26N65W will track slowly east- northeastward during the rest
    of the week and the weekend. A broad zone of strong to gale- force
    winds, and rough to very rough seas, peaking near 14 ft, will
    develop north of the low pressure and expand eastward through Sun,
    impacting the waters mainly north of about 27N. The gale-force
    winds will likely be north of 29N through the end of the week.
    Elsewhere, a weakening cold front will move across the waters
    between Florida and 75W Fri and Fri night, then dissipate Sat and
    Sat night.

    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.
