    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Sat Nov 7 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
    2230 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A 1003 mb low pressure area, Invest
    AL94, is located near 25N64.5W, with a cold front extending from
    the low east-northeastward across the basin to 31N34W. High
    pressure is centered north of these features over the NW Atlantic.
    The resultant pressure gradient is producing fresh to near gale-
    force NE to E winds across the north semicircle of the low east of
    69W, and extending eastward, north of the cold front, to 40W, per
    recent satellite scatterometer data. Seas are 8 to 15 ft within
    these winds. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection is also
    noted in the same region while numerous moderate to strong
    convection is north of 20N between 47W and 62W. The chances of
    this low acquiring subtropical characteristics are decreasing due
    to strong upper-level winds that are expected to persist over the
    system into the weekend. The low is forecast to move generally
    eastward over the western and central subtropical Atlantic during
    the next couple of days and become absorbed by a new non-tropical
    low pressure system to its east later this weekend. Regardless,
    gale-force winds are likely to develop across the northern
    semicircle of the low this evening, and then along the cold front
    Sat through Sun morning, as the low tracks slowly eastward. For
    more information, including Gale Warnings, see High Seas Forecasts
    issued by the National Weather Service. Please read the latest
    High Seas Forecast issued by the National Hurricane Center at
    website:
    https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html and the latest Tropical
    weather outlook at website:
    https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/TWOEP.html for more details.

    Eastern Atlantic Gale Warning:
    The pressure gradient between the aforementioned cold front and
    an eastern Atlantic high pressure ridge S of 20N between 30W and
    60W is supporting near-gale to gale force SW to W winds from 25N
    to 27.5N between 33W and 39W. Seas within these winds are 8 to 11
    ft. A non-tropical low is forecast to develop across this area
    tonight and move eastward, accompanied by near-gale to gale force
    SW winds. By Sat 12Z near- gale to gale force winds will prevail
    north of 26.5N between 21W and 25W. Peak seas to around 14 ft will
    likely occur late tonight and Sat morning. Conditions will
    improve Sat evening and the system move north of the area. Please
    read the latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at website:
    https://nhc.noaa.gov/text/HSFAT2.html for more information

    Heavy Precipitation across Central America: Middle-level
    troughing over the SW Caribbean and upper level divergence over
    Central America and into the tropical eastern Pacific will
    interact with enhanced low-level moisture and onshore flow south
    of the monsoon trough over the next few days. This will favor
    heavy precipitation developing across Central America through at
    least Saturday. The heaviest precipitation is expected across
    Nicaragua and Costa Rica, which 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 enters the Atlantic near 11N15.5W and extends
    to 08.5N18W, where it transitions to ITCZ, continuing on to 08N30W
    to 05.5N50W. Scattered to numerous moderate isolated strong convection
    is noted from 01N to 11N between 24W and 41W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A front has become stationary from the Florida Panhandle near
    31N84W and continues southwestward to 25.5N91W to 26N96W.
    Scattered moderate convection is found from 22N to 26.5N and west
    of 94W. Gentle N to NE winds prevail north of the front. Elsewhere,
    a weak pressure gradient supports mainly light to gentle winds,
    with slight seas basin-wide.

    For the forecast, the front will slowly shift across the basin
    into early next week as high pressure builds north of the front.
    Mainly moderate to fresh winds will prevail behind the front.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    The broad low pressure across the western Atlantic the past few
    days has completely disrupted the trade wind flow across the
    Caribbean basin. Over the NE part of the basin, a deep- layered
    trough is supporting scattered to numerous moderate convection N
    of 14.5N between 70W and the Anegada Passage. Light to gentle S to
    SW winds prevail across the area. Broad cyclonic flow generally
    dominates the rest of the basin. A surface trough is supporting
    scattered convection from 15N to 19N and west of 80W, where 1009
    mb low pressure is anaylzed near 15N82W. Light to gentle cyclonic
    winds prevail W of 70W, except stronger in convection. Seas are 1
    to 3 ft E portions and 2 to 5 ft W portions.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient across the basin will
    result in moderate or weaker winds, with slight to moderate seas,
    through early next week. Easterly winds will begin to return to
    the basin Monday and strengthen over the central Caribbean
    Tuesday.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Please see the Special Features section for information on the
    Gale Warnings and the potential for subtropical development of
    Invest AL94.

    A stationary front extends from 31N34W to near Invest AL94.
    Scattered to numerous moderate convection is depicted north of
    22N between 28W and 63W. Aside from the Gale Warnings moderate to
    fresh winds along with seas 5 to 8 ft previal N of the front to
    75W. To the south of Invest AL94, fresh SW to W winds prevail
    between 50W and 70W and become N to NE across the central and SE
    Bahamas. Farther east, a ridge extends south of the front through
    20N35W to the central Lesser Antilles. gentle to moderate
    anticyclonic winds generally prevail there, with seas of 4 to 6 ft
    in N swell. Elsewhere, gentle or lighter winds and seas 4 to 5 ft
    prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the 1003 mb low pres near 25N64.5W,
    Invest AL94, will drift slowly move east-northeastward. A second
    low may develop east of this low by Sat. The lows will merge over
    the eastern waters late in the weekend, then shift east of the
    area by early next week. An area of strong to gale- force winds,
    and rough to very rough seas, peaking near 15 ft, will persist
    north of the lows, impacting the waters mainly north of about 27N
    and east of 65W through Sat night. Elsewhere, a weakening cold
    front will move across the waters between Florida and 75W tonight,
    then dissipate by Sun.

    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.
