    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0015 UTC Fri Jul 31 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
    2115 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: A tight pressure gradient between the
    subtropical ridge north of the islands and lower pressures in NW
    South America will support strong to near gale-force winds and
    rough seas in the central Caribbean during the next several days.
    Winds will increase to gale-force in the offshore waters of
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela tonight. Seas are expected
    to build to around 13 ft with these winds. Please read the
    latest High Seas Forecast issued by the National Hurricane Center
    at website - https://www.nhc.gov/text/MIAHFSAT2.shtml

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    An eastern to central Atlantic tropical wave is along 36W, south
    of 20N, moving quickly westward at 20 to 25 kt. Scattered
    moderate to isolated strong convection is present from 04N to 07N
    between 25W and 30.5W.

    A tropical N Atlantic tropical wave is along 57W, south of 19N
    to near Barbados and Suriname, moving quickly westward at around
    20 to 25 kt. Nearby convection which is present is described below
    with the ITCZ.

    An western Caribbean tropical wave is along 79W, south of 20N
    just to the west of Jamaica, moving quickly westward at around 25
    kt. Any nearby convection is currently observed in the far eastern
    Tropical Pacific.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic from the northern coast of
    Mauritania at 20N16W to southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands to
    09N28W to 12N40W. The ITCZ extends from 12N40W to 10N56W, then
    resumes west of a tropical wave from 10N58W to the far NE coast of
    Venezuela at 08N62W. Scattered moderate isolated strong convection
    is noted within 210 nm NNW of the ITCZ between 48W and 59W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    High pressure of 1018 mb is remaining over the central Gulf near
    25N88W with a northwest to southeast ridge through the high. As a
    result, anticyclonic winds are light to gentle along and around
    the ridge axis, and moderate along the periphery closer to the
    Gulf coastlines. Seas are 1 to 2 ft near the weaker winds, and 2
    to 4 ft elsewhere. Some moderate convection is noted near the NW
    coast of Yucatan near a surface trough analyzed over the
    peninsula, with additional activity near the coast of Florida,
    Mississippi and Alabama.

    For the forecast, a surface ridge will remain in control of the
    weather pattern across the Gulf region promoting gentle to
    moderate winds for the next several days. The exception will be
    fresh NE winds off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula
    nightly into the weekend. Unsettled weather in the form of
    scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue over the NE Gulf
    through the weekend as a frontal boundary remains just N of the
    area, and at the same a very moist and unstable airmass prevails
    over region.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please see the Special Features section above for details on the
    Gale Warning in effect for the south-central Caribbean.

    High pressure north of the islands forces fresh to near gale-
    force easterly trade winds and rough seas across the central
    Caribbean, with the strongest winds and highest seas to 11 ft
    occurring off NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly breezes and
    moderate seas are found elsewhere from 11N to 18N. Across the
    remainder of the basin, moderate or weaker winds and slight to
    locally moderate seas prevail. Some convection is present near
    eastern Honduras and Nicaragua due to the proximity of a tropical
    wave and lower to mid level support.

    For the forecast, a Gale Warning is in effect tonight for the
    offshore waters of Colombia and for the Gulf of Venezuela. Seas
    are expected to build to around 14 ft with these winds. Elsewhere
    across the central Caribbean, fresh to near gale trades will
    continue to expand in coverage through early Fri as the pressure
    gradient between the Atlantic high pressure and low pressure in
    northern Colombian tightens. Mostly fresh trades will continue
    elsewhere south S of about 18N through the rest of the forecast
    period. Fresh to strong winds will pulse in the Gulf of Honduras
    tonight and Fri night, then to fresh speeds for the remainder of
    the period.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    A frontal boundary is just north of the discussion waters and SW N
    Atlantic offshore waters zones from northwest of Bermuda to 1011
    mb low pressure near 32N79.5W to near Savannah, Georgia.
    Associated scattered moderate isolated strong convection is north
    of 27N and west of 69W. Fresh to strong SW winds and 5 to 9 ft
    seas are there as well. Otherwise, a broad subtropical ridge
    continues to dominate much of the tropical Atlantic waters
    anchored by a 1025 mb high pressure center near 31N51W. Moderate
    to locally fresh trades are noted north of the monsoon trough and
    ITCZ to 20N, except fresh to strong N to NE winds from offshore
    Africa to the Cabo Verde Islands. Seas are 6 to 9 ft across the
    area of fresh to strong winds, as well as in the Tropical N
    Atlantic offshore waters zones due to the proximity of a tropical
    wave. Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas dominate the
    remainder of the tropical Atlantic waters.

    For the forecast west of 55W, a high pressure ridge extending
    from near 25N65W to the Straits of Florida will change little
    through Sat night before it shifts northward to near 28N into
    early next week. The gradient between the ridge and a frontal
    boundary just NW of the forecast waters will continue to generally
    support fresh to strong SW winds along with scattered showers and
    thunderstorms primarily north of 27N and west of 65W for the rest
    of the week and into the weekend. Fresh to strong trades will
    pulse just north of Hispaniola at night and into the mornings
    through the upcoming weekend.

    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

    .GULF OF MEXICO...

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.
