    Tropical Weather Discussion
    NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
    1815 UTC Fri Sep 4 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
    1630 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave is moving across the eastern Atlantic. Its axis
    is along 27N, south of 20N, moving W at around 15 kt. Scattered
    moderate convection is depicted from 05N to 07N between 26.5W and
    29W.

    A tropical wave is along 53.5W, south of 20N, moving W at around
    15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted near the northern
    end of the wave axis and mainly from 15N to 19N between 47W and
    56W.

    A tropical wave is moving across the eastern Caribbean. Its axis
    is along 69W, south of 19N, moving west at around 15 kt. No
    significant convection is associated with this wave at this time.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 16.5N16.5W and
    continues southwestward to 05N41W. The ITCZ extends from 05N41W to
    09N57W. Scattered moderate convection is depicted from 4N to 19N
    and east of 23W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    An upper level trough is supporting scattered moderate convection
    over the central and NE Gulf. A ridge dominates most of the Gulf
    region supporting gentle to moderate winds. Seas are generally 1
    to 3 ft.

    For the forecast, a weak pressure gradient will support moderate
    or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas over much of the
    waters through early 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 trades and 5 to 7 ft seas
    offshore Colombia and western Venezuela. Mainly moderate E winds
    and moderate seas prevail across the remainder of the basin,
    except the NW Caribbean where gentle winds and slight seas are
    present. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are occurring over
    portions of central America.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the subtropical
    ridge and the Colombian low is supporting fresh to strong trades
    along with moderate seas over the central Caribbean. Winds over
    these waters will briefly diminish this weekend, but increase to
    fresh to strong speeds early next week. Elsewhere, moderate or
    weaker winds and slight to moderate seas will prevail through
    early next week.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Scattered to numerous moderate convection prevails north of 27N
    and west of 77W in association to a mid level trough. A weak low
    pressure of 1016 mb is located near 33N57W. A surface trough
    extends from the low center to near 29N64W. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are near these features. A 1019 mb high pressure
    remains over the western Atlantic and is centered near 30N71W. Its
    associated ridge reaches the Bahamas. Gentle to moderate east to
    southeast winds are seen over the waters west of 74W. The
    remainder of the Atlantic forecast region is under the influence
    of a ridge, with the main high pressure center of 1023 mb located
    SE of the Azores. Moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate
    seas prevail across much of the Atlantic S of 25N and away from
    any convection or tropical waves. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker
    winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure will prevail across
    the area through early next week, generating a weak pressure
    pattern. This will support moderate or weaker winds and moderate
    seas across the area.

    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
    55W AND 64W...
    None.

    .SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...

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
