    Tropical Weather Discussion...Corrected

    Corrected forecast for the Gulf of America

    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
    0325 UTC.

    ...TROPICAL WAVES...

    A tropical wave has been introduced in the far eastern Atlantic,
    along 24W, south of 13N, based on wave guidance data. The wave is
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. No significant convection is noted
    near the trough axis.

    A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 44W, south of 17N,
    moving westward at 15-20 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated strong
    convection is present from 02N to 11N and between 33W and 51W.

    Another central Atlantic tropical wave is along 57W, south of
    18N, moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated
    strong convection is observed from 02N to 13N and between 51W and
    59W.

    A western Caribbean Sea tropical wave along 84W, south of 18N,
    moving westward at 10 kt. No significant convection is noted
    near the trough axis.

    ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

    The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
    Mauritania near 21N16W and continues southwestward to 09N26W. The
    ITCZ extends from 09N26W to 07N43W, then continues from 07N45W to
    07N56W. Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is
    evident from 06N to 15N and east of 21W.

    ...GULF OF AMERICA...Corrected

    Diurnal storms that formed over the western Yucatan peninsula are
    racing westward at about 25-30 kt as a squall line over the
    eastern Bay of Campeche. Mariners in these waters can expect
    gusty winds to 30 kt, suddenly higher seas and some lightning
    strikes. A few showers are also noted in the eastern Gulf waters.

    At the surface, a 1018 mb high pressure system situated south of
    the mouth of the Mississippi River supports fresh to locally
    strong easterly winds and seas of 2-4 ft south of 23N and between
    89W and 95W. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds and slight seas
    prevail.

    For the forecast, relatively weak high pressure extending westward
    across the basin from the Atlantic will change little through Thu
    night, then shift northward to near the northern Gulf coast Fri
    through Sat night. The related pressure gradient will generally
    maintain east to southeast winds across the Gulf south of about 26N,
    and light to gentle southeast to south winds north of about 26N,
    except for fresh to strong northeast to east winds offshore the
    Yucatan peninsula at night. Slight seas are forecast throughout the
    basin for the forecast period.

    ...CARIBBEAN SEA...

    A strong subtropical ridge over the central Atlantic is forcing
    strong to near gale-force easterly trade winds and rough seas
    across the central Caribbean Sea. The strongest winds and highest
    seas are found off NW Colombia. Moderate to fresh easterly breezes
    and moderate seas are present in the eastern Caribbean, Windward
    Passage and Gulf of Honduras. Elsewhere, moderate or lighter winds
    and slight to moderate seas are prevalent.

    For the forecast, the pressure gradient between Atlantic high
    pressure and relatively lower pressures in Colombia will continue
    to support fresh to strong trades across the central Caribbean
    through the period, while mostly fresh trades will be elsewhere
    south of 18N. Moderate to rough seas will accompany these winds.
    Expect winds to pulse to near-gale force at night offshore of
    Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela through Sat, except on Thu.
    Moderate or weaker winds will continue over the northwestern part
    of the basin, except in the Gulf of Honduras where fresh to strong
    east to southeast winds are forecast at night through the
    forecast period. A tropical wave currently near 56W will move
    across the eastern Caribbean Wed and Wed night, across the central
    Caribbean Thu through Fri night, and across the eastern part of
    the western Caribbean Sat and Sat night. Scattered showers and
    thunderstorms are expected to accompany the wave.

    ...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

    Divergence aloft is producing isolated showers north of 26N and
    west of 44W. The tropical Atlantic is under the influence of a
    broad subtropical ridge along 27N. Moderate to fresh easterly
    trade winds and seas of 4-8 ft are found south of 24N and west of
    30W. However, strong winds are noted off northern Hispaniola.
    Moderate to locally strong N-NE winds and seas of 4-8 ft are
    evident from 18N to 29N and east of 30W. Elsewhere, moderate or
    weaker winds and moderate seas prevail.

    For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure over the area will
    change little through the forecast period. The associated
    gradient will continue to support moderate to fresh trades south
    of 23N, and moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. Strong winds along
    with moderate to rough seas are expected at night north of
    Hispaniola, including approaches to the Windward Passage through
    Sat night.

    Marine Weather Discussion

    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

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
