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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1020 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A strong cold front will move into
the waters offshore of northeast Florida this morning, reach from
31N64W to West Palm Beach early Sun morning, from 29N55W to
Hispaniola by early Mon morning, stalls from 25N55W to the
Dominican Republic early Tue morning before it dissipates late on
Wed. Strong high pressure will follow the front. This will bring
strong winds, with frequent gusts to gale force, and rough to very
rough seas to 14 ft from this morning through early Sun morning.
Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National
Hurricane Center at website:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more details.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic from the coast of Sierra
Leone near 08N13W and continues southwestward to 01N24W. The ITCZ
then continues from that point to 01S36W. Scattered moderate
isolated strong convection is noted within 150 nm either side of
both boundaries.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A cold front is moving into the northern Gulf this morning. As of
0600 UTC the front extends from the Florida Panhandle to SE
Louisiana to Houston, Texas and into NE Mexico where it stalls.
Fresh to strong N to NE winds follows the front along with seas to
3 ft per surface observations. Ahead of the front, a surface ridge
supports moderate to locally fresh NE winds and moderate seas to 6
ft over the regions of strongest winds, including the Bay of
Campeche and the Yucatan Channel.
For the forecast, a trough over the Bay of Campeche will support
moderate to fresh winds off the northern and western coasts of the
Yucatan Peninsula, mainly at night, through the middle of the
next week. The cold front will reach the Tampa Bay area by this
evening, and move southeast of the basin on Sun. Fresh to strong
NE to E winds and moderate seas are expected in the wake of the
front over the northern Gulf this morning and over the eastern
Gulf late today through Sun. The pressure gradient will remain
strong enough to sustain fresh east winds and moderate to rough
seas across the southeast Gulf and the Straits of Florida through
the middle of the next week.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The pressure gradient between high pressure north of the basin
and the Colombian low is supporting fresh to strong NE to E winds
off Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela. Seas are in the 5 to 8
ft range over these waters. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds and
4 to 6 ft seas prevail elsewhere across the central and western
basin. Gentle to moderate trades are ongoing across the eastern
Caribbean with moderate seas. Otherwise, isolated showers remain
over the NW Caribbean, including the Windward Passage.
For the forecast, the gradient of pressure between a ridge
extending to the northern Caribbean and the low pressure over NW
Colombia will continue to support strong to near gale-force NE to
E winds and rough seas offshore Colombia through Wed night.
Moderate to fresh NE winds in the lee side of Cuba, the Windward
Passage, and just south of Hispaniola will reach strong speeds
tonight through the end of the forecast period due to strong high
pressure building in the wake of cold front that will move through
the SW N Atlantic waters today through Wed.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the SPECIAL FEATURES section for information on a GALE
WARNING.
A broad surface ridge continues to extend across the central and
eastern subtropical Atlantic waters with a weakness analyzed as a
surface trough from 31N58W to 24N63W. Scattered showers are to the
east of the trough N of 20N between 45W and 62W. Moderate to
locally fresh winds and moderate seas are over the central and
eastern basin, except for rough seas to 9 ft in NE decaying swell
west of the Canary Islands. Over the SW N Atlantic waters, winds
are mainly light to gentle ahead of an approachig cold front,
except for moderate to fresh over the Great Bahama Bank, including
the approaches of the Windward Passage.
For the forecast west of 55W, a strong cold front will move into
the waters offshore of northeast Florida this morning, reach from
31N64W to West Palm Beach early Sun morning, from 29N55W to
Hispaniola by early Mon morning, stalls from 25N55W to the
Dominican Republic early Tue morning before it dissipates late on
Wed. Strong high pressure will follow the front. This will bring
strong winds, with frequent gusts to gale force, and rough to very
rough seas from this morning through early Sun morning. As the
strong high pressure moves eastward across the Atlantic, expect
fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough to very rough seas across
most of the forecast region likely through Wed.

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
