    Tropical Weather Discussion

    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
    0500 UTC.

    ...SPECIAL FEATURES...

    Caribbean Gale Warning:
    A tight pressure gradient between an Atlantic Ridge and the
    Colombian Low will cause trade winds off Colombia and over the
    Gulf of Venezuela to peak at minimal gale-force Fri night through
    early Sat morning, and possible on Sat night again. Seas under
    these winds are expected to range from 12 to 15 ft north of
    Colombia and 4 to 7 ft in the Gulf of Venezuela. Please refer to
    High Seas and Offshore Waters Forecasts issued by the National
    Hurricane Center at websites:
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml and
    https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/marine/offshores.php for more
    information.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A newly analyzed far eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 24W
    from 10N southward, and moving westward at 5 to 10 kt. Scattered
    moderate convection is seen from 02N to 08N between 23W and 31W.

    An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 43W from 16N southward,
    and moving westward at 15 to 20 kt. Widely scattered moderate
    convection is observed from 08N to 15N between 38W and 48W.

    A central Caribbean tropical wave is near 72W from Haiti southward
    to the Colombia-Venezuela border. It is moving westward at 10 to
    15 kt. Isolated thunderstorms are occurring near the border.

    A western Caribbean tropical wave is near 85W from 19N southward
    across Honduras and Nicaragua into Costa Rica. It is moving
    westward at 10 to 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is present
    over Honduras and Nicaragua.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    A monsoon trough enters the Atlantic along the Gambia coast, then
    curves southwestward to 07N19W. An ITCZ continues from 07N19W to
    04N24W, then from 04N25W westward to near the coastal border of
    French Guiana and Brazil. Scattered moderate convection is evident
    near the monsoon trough, near the coast of Gambia and southern
    Senegal. Similar convection is noted up to 200 nm along either
    side of the second ITCZ segment.

    The eastern end of the East Pacific monsoon trough is producing
    scattered to numerous moderate to isolated strong convection in
    the Caribbean waters near Costa Rica and western Panama.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...

    A diurnal trough is triggering scattered showers and isolated
    thunderstorms in the southeastern Bay of Campeche. Otherwise, a
    surface ridge running southwestward from a 1018 mb high at the
    northeastern Gulf to near Tampico, Mexico dominates much of the
    Gulf. Light to gentle winds and seas of 1 to 2 ft are found at the
    northeastern Gulf, and the western Bay of Campeche. Moderate to
    fresh with locally strong NE winds and 3 to 6 ft seas exist at the
    eastern Bay of Campeche. Gentle to moderate with locally fresh E
    to SE winds and seas at 2 to 4 ft prevail for the rest of the
    Gulf.

    For the forecast, the ridge will continue to dominate the Gulf
    into early next week. Gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds will
    generally prevail across the basin during this time, except for
    fresh to locally strong NE to E winds pulsing off the northwestern
    Yucatan Peninsula nightly, and moderate to fresh SE to S winds
    across the far northwestern Gulf through the weekend. Looking
    ahead, a weak frontal boundary will sink southward into the east-
    central Gulf Mon night and Tue.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    Please read the Special Features section about an upcoming Gale
    Warning.

    Convergent trade winds are occurring near Jamaica and near the
    southern coast of Cuba. Refer to the Tropical Waves section for
    additional convection in the basin. Tight pressure gradient
    between a broad Atlantic Ridge and the Colombian Low supports
    strong to near-gale NE to E winds and seas of 8 to 11 ft at the
    south-central basin. Fresh to strong easterly trades and 6 to 8
    ft seas dominate the north-central and part of the southwestern
    basin. Gentle to moderate E to ESE winds and seas at 2 to 4 ft are
    noted at the northwestern basin. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds
    and 4 to 6 ft seas prevail elsewhere, except light to gentle winds
    with 1 to 3 ft seas near Costa Rica and Panama.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient will support fresh to
    strong easterly trade winds, and moderate to locally very rough
    seas in the central basin through early next week. Elsewhere,
    pulsing fresh to strong winds and moderate to locally rough seas
    are expected in the Gulf of Honduras nightly through Sat night.
    Moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas are forecast
    in the remainder of the basin.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    An upper-level shortwave near 31N61W is enhancing scattered
    moderate convection north of 25N between 55W and 65W. Refer to the
    Monsoon Trough/ITCZ and Tropical Waves sections at the beginning
    for additional convection in the Atlantic Basin. A broad Atlantic
    Ridge stretching west-southwestward from a 1032 mb high near
    34N47W across 31N68W to beyond central Florida is supporting
    gentle to moderate ENE to SSE winds with 4 to 6 ft seas, north of
    25N between 35W and the coast of Floria/southern Georgia. From 07N
    to 25N between 35W and the Bahamas/Lesser Antilles, moderate to
    locally fresh ENE to E trade winds and seas of 5 to 7 ft are
    evident. For the remainder of the Atlantic west of 35W, gentle to
    moderate NE to E to SE winds and 5 to 6 ft seas in mixed moderate
    swells prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, the aforementioned ridge will
    continue to dominate the western Atlantic through the weekend.
    Fresh to strong easterly winds, with locally rough seas are
    expected offshore Hispaniola, including approaches to the Windward
    Passage, each late afternoon and night through Fri night. A
    nearly north-to-south aligned surface trough across the central
    Atlantic will shift westward across the region Fri through Sun,
    reaching near 70W by Sun morning. This will weaken the ridge and
    lead to diminishing winds. Looking ahead, a weak cold front will
    sink southward into the waters off northeastern Florida Mon night.

    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.
