    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    0615 UTC Tue Oct 27 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.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Heavy Rainfall in the Northern Caribbean: Deep-layer troughing
    extending southward through the Bahamas into the northern Caribbean
    combined with abundant tropical moisture will support periods of
    heavy rainfall over Hispaniola, the southern Bahamas, and the
    Turks and Caicos Islands through tonight. The trough will
    gradually shift north through Wed while weakening. Very heavy
    rainfall will bring a potential for dangerous and life-
    threatening flash flooding, particularly over portions Haiti and
    the Dominican Republic. Please refer to your local weather
    services and the International Desk at the Weather Prediction
    Center for more information.

    NW Atlantic Significant Swell: A tight pressure gradient between
    a 1028 mb high pressure centered over the eastern United States
    and a stationary front extended from SE of Bermuda to the Bahamas
    is supporting widespread strong to near gale-force NE winds NW of
    the front, along with very rough seas of up to 18 ft. These very
    rough seas extend south to 25N and E to 67W. The front will remain
    generally stationary, and only gradually weaken through Wed as the
    high pressure slides eastward. This will keep strong winds and
    very rough seas in place through at least Wed. Mariners are
    urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine conditions and
    take the necessary precautions to avoid these affected areas.
    Please, see the latest NWS High Seas Forecast issued by the
    National Hurricane Center at website
    https:www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for further details.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic near 14N16W and
    extends southwestward to 06N30W, where it transitions to the ITCZ
    and continues 08N43W and to 10N58W. Scattered moderate convection
    is noted from 04N to 09N E of 30W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    The pressure gradient between a 1028 mb high center over the
    eastern United States lower pressure in the Caribbean is
    supporting fresh to strong NE winds and rough seas over the
    eastern Gulf, including the Florida Straits. Mainly moderate winds
    and seas prevail elsewhere.

    For the forecast, the weather pattern will persist into midweek,
    followed by diminishing winds and seas into the upcoming weekend.
    Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds and moderate seas will prevail
    during much of the workweek.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    See Special Features section above for information on heavy
    rainfall over Hispaniola.


    A deep-layer trough extending from eastern Cuba southward to near
    15N75W continues to support scattered moderate convection mainly
    offshore Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Moderate to locally fresh N
    winds and moderate to locally rough seas are noted in the NW basin
    W of 85W, with moderate trades and seas in the eastern basin.
    Elsewhere, gentle winds and slight seas prevail. The eastern
    extension of the East Pacific monsoon trough is inducing scattered
    moderate convection offshore Colombia.

    For the forecast, the upper level trough will drift eastward
    through mid- week, keeping the chance of showers and thunderstorms
    over Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Meanwhile, a surface trough over
    the central Caribbean will drift westward over the next few days.
    High pressure across the eastern U.S. will continue to build
    southward across Florida and the Gulf of America through midweek,
    leading to moderate to fresh N to NE winds and moderate seas
    across the western Caribbean W of the trough through Tue night.
    Seas of up to 8 ft in N to NE will continue to propagate across
    the Yucatan Channel through Tue. Otherwise, moderate to fresh E to
    SE winds in the E Caribbean will diminish to gentle to moderate
    speeds by tonight.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    See Special Features section above for information on heavy
    rainfall over Hispaniola, the southern Bahamas, and the Turks and
    Caicos Islands and for Significant Swell causing very rough seas
    N of the Bahamas extending eastward to near Bermuda.

    South of the front and significant swell, mainly moderate S winds
    and rough seas prevail E to 55W. Another front has stalled further
    east, from 31N30W to 28N42W to 31N51W. Rough seas are N of this
    boundary, but winds on either side of it are moderate or weaker.
    The remainder of the basin is under broad high pressure that
    supports moderate to locally fresh trades winds south of about
    24N. Seas of 5 to 7 ft are over these waters. Gentle winds and
    mostly moderate seas are elsewhere N of 24N.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the portion of a currently
    stationary front east of 60W is expected to move southeastward as
    a cold front through Thu while a stationary front will persist
    over the waters N of 27N and W of 60W. A high pressure center will
    remain over the SE of the United States during this time. The
    frequent gusts to gale- force will diminish by tonight, however,
    fresh to strong winds and rough to very rough seas in NE swell
    will persist to the north of the front through Wed while gradually
    diminishing.

    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
