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
2100 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough is now confined to on land over Africa. The
ITCZ extends from 06N26W to 00N40W. Convection previously along
these features has diminished over water this evening.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
High pressure over the western Atlantic extends toward the NE
Gulf waters, supporting moderate to locally fresh SE winds and
moderate seas. Divergence aloft is supporting scattered moderate
convection in the Bay of Campeche as well as within 120 nm of the
mouth of the Mississippi River.
For the forecast, high pressure will prevail across the Gulf
waters. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds and moderate seas are
expected over the E Gulf through Sat night. Over the western half
of the Gulf, moderate to fresh SE winds are forecast, except for
strong E to SE winds off the northern Yucatan Peninsula at night.
A cold front may enter the western Gulf Sunday with strong winds
and rough seas expected in its vicinity. .
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Fresh to strong NE to E trades dominate waters offshore Colombia
and in the Windward Passage, with moderate to fresh winds over
most of the rest of the basin, except for the eastern Caribbean
where gentle to moderate NE winds prevail. Seas are 4 to 7 ft,
except rough seas in N swell are spilling through Atlantic
passages.
For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure N
of the area and the Colombian low will support fresh to strong
winds and rough seas offshore Colombia through the forecast
period. This pattern will also support fresh to strong NE winds in
the lee side of Cuba, the Windward Passage, and south of
Hispaniola through Thu night.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A deep layer trough that extends roughly along 60W from 20N to 27N
is inducing numerous moderate convection from 22N to 27N between
53W and 63W. In the far eastern Atlantic, low pressure between the
Canary Islands and Cabo Verde Islands is causing scattered
moderate convection within 200 nm of the coast of Western Sahara.
A relatively tight pressure gradient between subtropical ridging
with an axis along 35 to 40N and lower pressure toward the Equator
is inducing widespread fresh to locally strong trades between 20N
and 30N, with associated rough seas. To the south, moderate to
locally fresh trades and moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast west of 55W, strong high pressure will prevail
across the forecast waters through the remainder of the week into
the weekend. Fresh to strong NE to E winds, and rough to very
rough seas, are expected across most of the offshore forecast
waters through the remainder of the week. Winds will diminish this
weekend with seas slowly subsiding.

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.

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
