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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1658 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 10N14W, then
continues southward to 05N20W to 02N25W. The ITCZ extends from
02N25W to 01.5S41W. Scattered moderate convection is noted S of
03N between 17W and 50W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A ridge dominates the Gulf region. Under the influence of this
system, moderate to fresh NE to E winds and moderate seas are
noted over the SE Gulf, including the Straits of Florida. Similar
wind speeds are observed over the Yucatan Channel and the Bay of
Campeche. These winds are associated with a thermal trough.
Mainly moderate E to SE winds and moderate seas are observed
elsewhere, except in the far NE Gulf where light to gentle winds
and slight seas are occurring.
For the forecast, a ridge extends from high pressure over the
west- central Atlantic across Florida into the northern Gulf. This
pattern will maintain moderate to fresh E to SE winds and mostly
moderate seas through Sat, except in the NE and N-central parts of
the basin where mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight to
moderate seas will prevail. Expect stronger winds to pulse across
the southeast Gulf, including the Florida Straits, through this
evening, and off the Yucatan Peninsula each night through Wed.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
A stationary front over the Atlantic located just N of Puerto Rico
and a trough are helping to induce scattered showers and
thunderstorms over the NE Caribbean, mainly N of 17N and E of
66W. High pressure over the west-central Atlantic combined with
the Colombian low supports fresh to locally strong trades in the
south- central Caribbean where seas are 7 to 9 ft. Similar wind
speeds are found in the Lee of Cuba, in the Windward Passage, and
just S of the Dominican Republic. Moderate to locally fresh winds
dominate the remainder of the basin. Seas are 6 to 8 ft downwind
of the Windward Passage, including between Haiti and Jamaica, and
5 to 7 ft in the Lee of Cuba. Moderate seas are noted elsewhere.
For the forecast, high pressure over the west-central Atlantic
combined with the Colombian low will maintain fresh to locally
strong trade winds and rough seas over the south-central Caribbean
and near the coast of Colombia through Wed night. Fresh to strong
northeast winds and building seas will prevail south of Cuba, in
the Windward Passage, and south of Hispaniola through Wed night as
well. Winds and seas will diminish across the basin late in the
week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please read the Special Features section about a Gale Warning off
Morocco.
As previously mentioned, a stationary front is just N of Puerto
Rico generating scattered showers with embedded thunderstorms.
Fresh to strong NE winds and seas of 8 to 12 ft are found near
and behind the aforementioned frontal boundary, with the exception
of light to gentle variable winds and 4 to 6 ft seas off NE and
central Florida. High pressure follows the front and extends a
ridge across the western Atlantic and Florida into the Gulf of
America. E of the front, high pressure of 1027 mb located NW of
the Madeira Islands dominates the remainder of the Atlantic
forecast region. Fresh to strong N to NE winds up to 30 kt, and
seas up to 13 ft in long period NW swell prevail N of 20N and E
of 20W, including the Canary Islands. Moderate to fresh winds and
moderate to rough seas dominate the tropical Atlantic. Elsewhere,
moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast west of 55W, thunderstorms will continue into
this afternoon along a stationary front that is weakening into a
surface trough just north of Puerto Rico. The trough will drift
west toward Hispaniola on Wed, and the southeastern Bahamas on
Thu. Strong NE winds and rough seas will persist west of the
trough, with conditions gradually improving toward the end of the
work- week as the trough weakens.

NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
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.

.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
