    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1215 UTC Sat Jul 11 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1025 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning: The pressure gradient between the central
    Atlantic high pressure and lower pressures over northern South
    America will support strong to near gale-force northeast to east
    trades over the south-central Caribbean, including the Gulf of
    Venezuela into early next week. Winds are forecast to pulse to
    gale-force off the coast of Colombia tonight. Rough to very rough
    seas are forecast with these winds.

    Please refer to the latest NWS High Seas Forecast at website:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFEP2.shtml for more details.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 59W, south of 17N,
    moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
    observed from 10N to 14N and between 53W and 65W.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 20N16W and continues southwestward to 08N34W. The
    ITCZ extends from 08N34W to 06N53W. Scattered moderate convection
    is occurring from 04N to 11N and between 22W and 50W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The storm activity over the SE Gulf has diminished in the past
    couple of hours, however, some showers and isolated thunderstorms
    are noted in the northern and NW Gulf. The subtropical ridge
    weakly extends into the Gulf waters supporting moderate or lighter
    winds and seas of 2-4 ft.

    For the forecast, an upper level low pressure currently over the NW
    Bahamas will progress westward over the next several days, supporting
    scattered moderate to strong convection. Additionally, a frontal
    boundary will approach the northern Gulf coast enhancing the storm
    activity across the area this weekend and into early next week.
    Mariners should expect gusty winds, frequent lightning and higher
    seas near the strongest storms. Elsewhere, high pressure will
    dominate into next week, supporting mainly gentle to moderate SE
    winds. However, fresh to strong easterly winds will pulse offshore
    the Yucatan Peninsula each night.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please refer to the Special Features section above for details on
    gale conditions forecast for offshore Colombia.

    Divergence aloft and plenty of tropical moisture is producing
    scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms over the NW
    Caribbean, especially west of 82W. Similar convection is noted in
    the SW Caribbean. Meanwhile, a tropical wave approaching the
    Lesser Antilles is bringing some showers to the SE Caribbean.

    The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and the Colombian
    low is supporting strong to near gale-force easterly trade winds
    and rough to very rough seas over the central Caribbean and
    Windward Passage, reaching gale force off Colombia. Elsewhere,
    moderate to fresh trades and moderate seas prevail across the
    remainder of the Caribbean.

    For the forecast, high pressure north of the islands and lower
    environmental pressures over northern South America combine to
    support strong to near gale-force easterly trades and rough seas
    over the central Caribbean, including the Windward Passage. This
    pattern will persist into next week. Winds will pulse to gale-
    force off Colombia this morning and tonight. Trades over the Gulf
    of Honduras will pulse to strong each evening through the forecast
    period. Finally, moderate to locally fresh easterly breezes and
    moderate seas are expected in the eastern Caribbean into next
    week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An upper level low pressure and abundant tropical moisture
    combine to produce numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms
    across the NW Bahamas and nearby waters. Farther east, divergence
    aloft and a frontal boundary just north of our area support
    scattered showers north of 26N and between 53W and 61W. The rest
    of the tropical Atlantic is under the influence of a broad
    subtropical ridge that sustains fresh to strong easterly trade
    winds and locally rough seas off Haiti and eastern Cuba and the SE
    Bahamas. The strongest winds and seas are at the entrance of the
    Windward Passage. Moderate to fresh easterly winds and seas of 5-9
    ft are noted south of 23N. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and
    moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, an upper level low pressure
    currently over the NW Bahamas will move westward through the
    weekend, bringing thunderstorms with locally strong winds,
    frequent lightning and higher seas. Meanwhile, the subtropical
    ridge will remain dominant through the period, supporting moderate
    to fresh trades south of 23N, with mainly gentle winds to the
    north. Pulsing strong and locally rough seas winds are expected
    each night offshore Hispaniola and in the Windward Passage.

    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

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.
