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
0540 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic through the coast of
Liberia near 10N14W and continues SW to 03N27W. The ITCZ extends
from 03N27W to 00N37W to 01S49W. Scattered moderate convection is
noted from 06S to 03N between 05W and 15W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A ridge extends across Florida into the Gulf region. Under the
influence of this ridge, moderate to fresh SE winds and moderate
seas prevail, except in the Straits of Florida where strong E
winds and 7 to 8 ft seas are ongoing.
For the forecast, high pressure over the region will begin to
retreat eastward Sat evening as a cold front approaches the Texas
coast. The cold front will reach from the Florida Panhandle to Bay
of Campeche by Sun, then stall as low pressure tracks eastward
along it into the middle of next week. Strong northeast winds are
expected across portions of the northern and western Gulf behind
the front along with rough seas. Moderate to fresh east to
southeast winds over the Gulf, with the exception of NE part, will
diminish on Sat, but continue at fresh speeds in the Straits of
Florida through late Sat night.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The pressure gradient between a ridge N of the area and the Colombian
low is supporting fresh trades over the central basin, except for
strong NE winds offshore Colombia. Seas are moderate except rough
within the strong speed winds. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds are
across the NW Caribbean while moderate trades are over the E
basin. Seas over both the NW and E Caribbean are moderate to 5 ft.
For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure
centered near Bermuda and low pressure near Colombia will continue
to support pulsing strong winds and rough seas offshore Colombia
and through the Windward Passage through Sat. The high pressure
will weaken some as it slides eastward this weekend allowing for
the the gradient to slacken. This will lead to diminishing winds
and subsiding seas. An inverted trough will develop from
Hispaniola northward into the open Atlantic Mon through Tue and
drift westward toward the Bahamas. The gradient between it and
central Atlantic high pressure will maintain fresh trade winds
across the eastern Caribbean, with gentle to moderate winds
elsewhere.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
The pressure gradient between high pressure located well north of
the area and relatively lower pressure in the subtropics and
tropics is allowing for generally strong northeast to east winds
along with rough seas over much of the waters S of 26N as
indicated by scatterometer data. Over the far E Atlantic, a
surface trough extends from a 1017 mb low pressure situated near
25N26W to 30N23W. Otherwise, moderate or weaker winds and
moderate seas prevail elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, strong NE to E winds and rough seas
over much of the waters S of 26N will gradually diminish through
the weekend as the high weakens while shifting eastward. An
inverted surface trough is forecast to develop from Hispaniola
northward into the open Atlantic by Sun night allowing for winds
to weaken. The trough will track in a general northwestward
direction into mid-week. A cold front is expected to emerge off
the southeastern United States coast early on Mon, then slowly
move southeastward reaching from near 31N70W to South Florida by
Tue morning and stall into mid-week. Low pressure may then develop
along the trough at about mid-week as it merges with the frontal
boundary and while high pressure builds southward N of the frontal
boundary. The resulting tight pressure gradient will bring strong
to near gale-force northeast winds along with seas building to a
rough state behind this front starting early next week. Mariners
are advised to keep up with the latest forecast, especially beyond
Mon night.

Marine Weather Discussion

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
