--------------------------------------------------------------------------- TROPICAL WEATHER DISCUSSION (NORTH ATLANTIC AREA) MESSAGES T1T2: AX A1A2: NT Date: 2026-05-27 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message File: T_AXNT20KNHC270004_C_KWBC_20260527000438_49676782-4066-TWDAT.txt ****0000006056**** AXNT20 KNHC 270004 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0015 UTC Wed May 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 2345 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 45W south of 12N. It is moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are within 60 nm east of the wave from the Equator to 01N and from 05N to 10N between 42W-45W. A central Caribbean tropical wave has its axis near 73W south of 15N to inland South America. It is moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. No significant convection is noted. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic through the coast of Mauritania near 18N16W, and continues southwestward to 07N25W, where it transitions to the ITCZ to 04N34W, where it briefly pauses. It resumes at 04N46W to the NE coast of Suriname near 04N51W. Scattered moderate convection is within 120 nm north of the ITCZ between 26W-29W and within 60 nm north of the ITCZ between 31W-34W. ...GULF OF AMERICA... The rather weak western extension of central Atlantic high pressure stretches westward across northern Florida and to north-central Gulf. The related weak pressure gradient is generally allowing for moderate to fresh SE winds along with moderate seas E of 90W, and for gentle to moderate southeast winds and slight seas W of 90W. Divergence aloft attributed to a deep upper-level trough, and while abundant tropical moisture is being pulled northward from the Caribbean Sea is resulting in numerous showers and thunderstorms south of 27N between 83W-91W, including the northern Yucatan Peninsula, and the SE Gulf waters to along the coast of Cuba. Isolated showers and thunderstorms are elsewhere E of 91W. For the forecast, the Atlantic ridge extending west- southwestward across Florida into the central Gulf will sustain gentle to moderate SE to S winds through the weekend. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh off the northern Yucatan through Thu night. An upper-level trough across the central Gulf should continue to couple with abundant tropical moisture to produce scattered heavy showers and strong thunderstorms over the central and eastern Gulf through Thu. These thunderstorms are capable of producing gusty winds, frequent lightning, reduced visibility, and locally rough seas. Mariners are urged to keep up to date with the latest forecast. ...CARIBBEAN SEA... The interaction between strong high pressure over the central Atlantic and relatively lower pressure to its south related to low pressure over northern S America has created a tight pressure gradient over the central part of the basin. This is inducing strong to near-gale trade winds along with rough seas across the central Caribbean. Moderate to fresh trade winds along with moderate seas are over the eastern Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras. Long-period E swell is creating rough seas in the Atlantic water passages of the Lesser Antilles. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and moderate seas are prevalent. The southeastern periphery of a well pronounced upper-level trough is supporting scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Yucatan Channel and waters adjacent to the northeast portion of the Yucatan Peninsula and the western tip of Cuba. Similar activity is inland over some sections of Cuba, and over the southwestern Caribbean S of 14N and W of 78W. This activity extends to inland Central America. Isolated showers are elsewhere N of 18N and W of Jamaica. For the forecast, the tight pressure gradient in place over the central part of the basin will continue to support fresh to strong trades across the central Caribbean with rough seas through Fri. These winds are expected to pulse to near-gale force off Barranquilla, Colombia, during night-time and morning hours through Thu. Trades in the Gulf of Honduras will reach fresh to strong each evening through the same period. By Fri night, most of the basin should experience moderate with locally fresh winds and moderate seas, except the south- central basin in which fresh to strong winds and rough seas will remain through the weekend. ...ATLANTIC OCEAN... A weak cold front is analyzed from near 31N29W southwestward to 26N36W, where it transitions to a dissipating stationary frontal boundary to 24N45W, then extends northwestward to weak low pressure of 1023 mb at 26N55W and to 26N65W. Isolated showers are possible near this boundary. Moderate to locally fresh winds and seas of 6-9 ft are behind the frontal boundary. The remainder of the basin is under the influence of a broad and strong area of high pressure centered over the central Atlantic. The pressure gradient between the high pressure and relatively lower pressure in the deep tropics is sustaining fresh to strong E to SE winds and rough seas south and west of a line from 27N74W to 19N60W. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh easterly winds along with seas of about 6-8 ft are south of 20N and west of 30W. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail. For the forecast west of 55W, fresh to strong winds along with moderate to rough seas are anticipated across waters south of 25N and west of 60W through Wed, including the Great Bahama Bank, as the Atlantic high pressure shifts southeastward, tightening the pressure gradient. As the high weakens Wed night, winds and seas will diminish from east to west. $$ Aguirre ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message File: T_AXNT20KNHC270007_C_KWBC_20260527000751_47448518-4178-TWDAT.txt ****0000006072**** AXNT20 KNHC 270007 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0015 UTC Wed May 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.

Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0400 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A central Atlantic tropical wave has its axis near 46W south of 11N, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered showers are within 60 nm on either side of the wave axis. A central Caribbean tropical wave has its axis near 74W south of 15N to inland South America, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted along the wave portion that remains over South America. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Africa near 17N16W, and continues southwestward to 08N25W. The ITCZ continues from that point to 02N45W. Scattered moderate convection is noted along the ITCZ. ...GULF OF AMERICA... Divergent flow aloft attributed to a deep upper-level trough, combined with abundant tropical moisture pulled northward from the Caribbean, results in numerous showers and thunderstorms south of 28N and E of 91W. Moderate to fresh SE winds prevail across the basin, with moderate seas. For the forecast, the Atlantic ridge will sustain moderate to fresh SE to S winds through the weekend. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh winds off the northern Yucatan through Thu night. The upper-level trough across the central Gulf should continue to couple with abundant tropical moisture to produce scattered heavy showers and strong thunderstorms over the central and eastern Gulf through Thu. These thunderstorms are capable of producing gusty winds, frequent lightning, limited visibility, and locally rough seas. Mariners are urged to keep up to date with the latest forecast. ...CARIBBEAN SEA... The interaction between strong high pressure over the central Atlantic and lower pressure to its south related to low pressure over northern S America has created a tight pressure gradient over the central part of the basin. This is inducing strong to near- gale trade winds along with rough seas across the central Caribbean. Moderate to fresh trade winds along with moderate seas are over the eastern Caribbean and Gulf of Honduras.

Similar activity is inland over some sections of Cuba, and over the southwestern Caribbean S of 14N and W of 78W. This activity extends to inland Central America. For the forecast, the tight pressure gradient between high pressure in the western Atlantic and the Colombian low will continue to support fresh to strong trades across the central Caribbean with rough seas through Thu. These winds are expected to pulse to near-gale force off Barranquilla, Colombia, during night-time and morning hours through Thu morning. Trades in the Gulf of Honduras and just north of Jamaica will reach fresh to strong each evening through the same period. By Fri night, most of the basin should experience moderate with locally fresh winds and moderate seas, except the south-central basin in which fresh to strong winds and rough seas will remain through the weekend. ...ATLANTIC OCEAN... A weak cold front is analyzed from near 31N28W southwestward to 28N30W, where it transitions to a stationary front to 25N37W. To the W of the front, a 1023 mb low pres is analyzed near 26N55W. The remainder of the basin is under the influence of a broad and strong area of high pressure centered over the central Atlantic. The pressure gradient between the high pressure and relatively lower pressure in the deep tropics is sustaining fresh to strong E to SE winds and rough seas south S of 25N between 67W-74W. Elsewhere, moderate to fresh easterly winds along with seas of about 6-8 ft are south of 20N and west of 30W, and moderate or weaker winds and moderate are over the remainder of the basin. For the forecast west of 55W, fresh to strong winds with moderate to rough seas are will prevail south of 25N and west of 68W through Wed, including the Great Bahama Bank, as the Atlantic high pressure shifts southeastward, tightening the pressure gradient. The high will weaken on Wed night, allowing winds and seas to diminish from east to west. A weakening stationary front from 25N35W to 24N41W will dissipate tonight. In the longer term, two cold fronts passing across the north Atlantic might cause increasing winds and seas north of 28N and east of 70W from Thu night through Fri, and again from Sat night through Sun. $$ ERA ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Message File: T_AXNT20KNHC271029_C_KWBC_20260527102942_49676782-4096-TWDAT.txt ****0000006032**** AXNT20 KNHC 271029 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1215 UTC Wed May 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.

Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1000 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A central Atlantic tropical wave IS 46W from 11N southward, and moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered showers are seen from 04N to 06N between 45W and 48W. A central Caribbean tropical wave is near 75W from 15N southward across western Colombia. It is moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. It is enhancing convection near the East Pacific monsoon trough. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... A monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near the coastal border of Mauritania and Senegal, then runs southwestward to 10N25W. An ITCZ continues from 10N25W to 03N43W. Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is occurring south of the monsoon trough from 02N to 09N east of 19W. Widely scattered moderate convection is seen up to 100 nm along either side of the ITCZ. The eastern end of the East Pacific monsoon trough is triggering numerous heavy showers and isolated strong thunderstorms across the Caribbean waters near eastern Panama and northwestern Colombia. ...GULF OF AMERICA... Divergent flow aloft attributed to a deep upper-level trough, combined with abundant tropical moisture pulled northward from the Caribbean, results in numerous showers and thunderstorms south of 28N and E of 91W. Moderate to fresh SE winds prevail across the basin, with moderate seas. For the forecast, a squall line is going to produce heavy showers, dangerous lightning and strong to near-gale W winds along with locally rough seas for the northwestern Gulf this morning. Otherwise, the Atlantic ridge extending west-southwestward across Florida into the central Gulf will sustain gentle to moderate with locally fresh SE to S winds through the weekend.

The following information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis. Based on 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1555 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... A tropical wave has been introduced along 35W, south of 15N, based on recent satellite imagery, total precipitable water data and tropical wave diagnostics. The wave is moving westward at 15 kt. The wave is embedded in a dry Saharan airmass that is suppressing the shower and thunderstorm activity. A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 48W, south of 11N, and moving westward at 10-15 kt. A few showers are seen near the trough axis. A central Caribbean tropical wave is along 76W, south of 15N, and moving westward at 10-15 kt. It is enhancing convection near the East Pacific monsoon trough. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Guinea-Bissau near 12N16W and continues southwestward to 06N22W. The ITCZ extends from 06N22W to 04N34W and then from 04N36W to 02N47W. Scattered moderate convection is occurring south of 10N and east of 22W. Similar convection is observed near and north of the ITCZ between 36W and 47W. ...GULF OF AMERICA... Divergent flow aloft attributed to a deep upper-level trough, combined with abundant tropical moisture pulled northward from the Caribbean, results in numerous showers and thunderstorms over the NW and eastern Gulf. A squall line is moving quickly across the NW Gulf waters, producing wind gusts to gale force. Mariners are advised to use caution. Elsewhere, a weak gradient prevails supporting moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas. For the forecast, very active thunderstorms continue across portions of the Gulf today, with one squall line moving southeastward off the SW Louisiana coast and a second moving offshore of south Texas. Expect heavy rainfall, frequent lightning, wind gusts to gale- force and locally rough seas with this activity. Otherwise, the Atlantic ridge extends westward across north Florida and the northern Gulf coasts, and will sustain moderate to locally fresh SE to S winds through the weekend. The exception will be evening pulses of fresh winds off the northern Yucatan through Thu night. An upper- level trough across the central Gulf should continue to combine with abundant tropical moisture to produce scattered heavy showers and strong thunderstorms over the central and eastern Gulf through Thu. Mariners are urged to keep up to date with the latest forecasts. ...CARIBBEAN SEA... High pressure north of the islands forces fresh to near gale-force easterly trade winds and rough to locally very rough seas across the central Caribbean. A recent scatterometer satellite pass captured winds to 31 kt. Latest altimeter satellite pass showed seas up to 13 ft off NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly breezes and moderate seas are present elsewhere. The southeastern periphery of a well pronounced upper- level trough is supporting scattered showers and thunderstorms over the Yucatan Channel, western Cuba and nearby waters in the NW Caribbean. Similar convection is noted off Nicaragua and Panama, while weak, light showers travel through the basin in the trades. For the forecast, tight pressure gradient between 1024 mb high pressure in the western Atlantic and a 1006 mb Colombian low will continue to support fresh to strong trades and rough seas across the central Caribbean through Thu. Winds are expected to pulse to near-gale force off NW Colombia tonight through Thu morning. Trades in the Gulf of Honduras and just north of Jamaica will reach fresh to strong this evening through early Thu morning. By Fri night, the high will shift E and weaken, leaving most of the basin with moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate seas, except the south- central basin, where fresh to strong winds and rough seas will remain through the weekend. ...ATLANTIC OCEAN... A weak stationary front extends from 31N23W to 26N30W, followed by a surface trough to 24N48W. The remainder of the basin is under the influence of an expansive subtropical ridge that covers much of the basin along 30N. Moderate to fresh easterly winds and moderate to locally rough seas are found south of the ridge, especially south of 20N and east of 35W and south of 25N and east of 35W. Also, similar conditions are noted south of a line from NE Florida to the northern Leeward Islands. Elsewhere, light to gentle winds and moderate seas are prevalent. For the forecast west of 55W, the Atlantic ridge extends E to W along 29N-30N today and across north Florida. This pattern is expected to produce fresh to strong winds with moderate to rough seas south of 25N and west of 68W through this afternoon, including the Great Bahama Bank, as ridge shifts southeastward. This high will begin to weaken tonight, allowing winds and seas to begin to diminish. A dissipating frontal trough from 30N48W to 26N70W will dissipate today. In the longer term, two cold fronts sweeping eastward across the north Atlantic are expected to produce increasing winds and seas north of 28N and east of 70W from Thu night through Fri, and again from Sat night through Sun. $$ Delgado ########################### END OF MESSAGE SET ############################
