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

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is expected to emerge off the west coast of Africa
    soon, and will likely be added to the 0600 UTC analysis/surface
    map.

    A tropical wave is along 29N, south of 20N, moving W at around 15
    kt. Scattered moderate convection is near the southern end of the
    wave axis.

    A tropical wave is along 56W, south of 20N, moving W at around 15
    kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 16N to 20N between
    54W and 58W.

    A tropical wave is over the central Caribbean with axis along 72W,
    and extends from Hispaniola to near the Venezuela/Colombia border.
    No significant convection is associated with this wave at this
    time.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Senegal
    near 14N16W and continues southwestward to 10N24, then westward
    to 07N40W. The ITCZ extends from 07N40W to 08N53W. Scattered
    moderate convection is noted from 05N to 09N between 20W and 45W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A weak ridge continues to dominate the Gulf region supporting light
    to gentle winds, except gentle to moderate winds over the western
    Gulf likely due to the pressure gradient between the ridge and a low
    pressure area over NE Mexico. Seas are generally 1 to 3 ft. Isolated
    showers, with embedded thunderstorms, dot the central part of the
    basin. Convection increases over north-central Florida where a
    surface trough is analyzed. Once again, convection has flared-up
    over the western Yucatan peninsula and SE Mexico.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient will support moderate
    or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas over much of the
    waters into the middle of 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 strong trades and 5 to 7 ft
    seas offshore Colombia, and in the Gulf of Venezuela. Similar wind
    speeds are also noted in the Gulf of Honduras. Moderate to fresh
    winds are blowing across the Windward Passage. Gentle to moderate
    winds and slight to moderate seas prevail elsewhere. Scattered showers
    and thunderstorms are occurring over parts of Cuba and the Cayman
    Islands and regional waters under a diffluent pattern aloft. Similar
    convective activity is observed over northern central America.

    For the forecast, the fresh to strong winds over the central Caribbean
    will briefly diminish this weekend, then increase to strong speeds
    early next week. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    moderate seas will prevail through early next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A 1014 mb low pressure is centered off northeast Florida near 30.5N79W.
    A surface trough extends from the low center across northern Florida.
    Scattered showers and thunderstorms are associated with these features.
    Additional showers and thunderstorms along with moderate winds are
    active along a trough reaching from 25N68W to just north of Hispaniola.
    A 1018 mb high pressure remains over the western Atlantic and is
    centered near 28N74W. The remainder of the Atlantic forecast region
    is also under the influence of a ridge, with the main high pressure
    center of 1023 mb located midway between the Azores and the Madeira
    Islands. Under this weather pattern, moderate or weaker winds and
    moderate seas prevail. A band of showers and thunderstorms ahead
    of a cold front is reaching 30N between 40W and 50W.

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

    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

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
