Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1815 UTC Sun Nov 30 2025
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
1630 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Central Atlantic Significant Swell: Recent scatterometer and
altimeter passes confirmed a large area of fresh to strong
easterly winds and 8 to 11 ft seas in a long plume across the
eastern and central Atlantic from roughly 20N to 28N between 15W
and 50W. These winds and seas are between strong high pressure
north of the area and a trough near 51W extending from 15N and
25N. Scatterometer data also indicated locally near-gale force
winds near the trough. The trough will continue to move to the
W-NW at 20 to 25 kt and pass north of the Leeward Islands by mid
week. Winds will diminish slightly through the period, but given
the long fetch and duration of the winds, this pattern will
support seas building to 12 to 13 ft today and Mon over an area
from 22N to 28N between 45W and 55W. Winds and seas will diminish
after late Tue, but 8-10 ft seas will persist across tropical
Atlantic waters east of 60W through the latter part of the week.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the eastern Atlantic near 08N13W and
continues to 06N17W. The ITCZ extends from 06N17W to 03N51W.
Scattered moderate convection is depicted from 04N to 07N between
10W and 30W.
GULF OF AMERICA...
A new cold front has entered the NW Gulf. As of 1500 UTC, the
front extends from Vermilion Bay, LA to Padre Island, TX. Fresh to
strong NE winds are behind the front, with building seas of 5-7
ft. Scattered showers and tstorms are along the front. A surface
trough is analyzed in the east central Gulf, from 23N to 27N along
88W. Locally fresh E winds, and seas to 6 ft, are analyzed near
the trough. Scattered showers and tstorms are also near the
trough. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker E winds and 3-5 ft seas
prevail across the Gulf.
For the forecast, the front is forecast to stall Mon night into
Tue, when a low pressure will form off Texas and move
northeastward across the southeast U.S. into the northwest
Atlantic. Thereafter, the front will move southeastward farther
into the basin, but then stall again over the central Gulf through
mid-week, as another low forms over South Texas. Looking ahead,
expect fresh southerly flow over the western Gulf as the low
pressure moves northeastward.
CARIBBEAN SEA...
Scattered moderate convection is from 12N to 15N between 72W and
76W, ahead of a broad upper trough reaching from the Windward
Passage to southern Nicaragua. The latest satellite scatterometer
data indicates fresh to strong NE winds within the Windward
Passage. Elsewhere across the Caribbean, moderate or weaker trades
and 3-6 ft seas prevail.
For the forecast, high pressure over the western Atlantic will
support moderate to occasionally fresh trade winds across most of
the basin through the early part of the week. Winds and seas will
diminish by mid week as the high shifts east. Looking ahead,
expect fresh NE winds again over the north-central Caribbean and
off Colombia by late Thu as high pressure builds over the eastern
U.S.
ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the SPECIAL FEATURES section for information on a
Significant Swell Event in the Central Atlantic.
A stationary front from 31N60W to 26N74W, just east of the
northern Bahamas. Scattered moderate convection is from 22N to 31N
between 65W and 75W. Moderate to fresh NE winds are north of 25N
between 60W and 80W. The latest satellite scatterometer
data indicates fresh to strong NE winds on approach to and within
the Windward Passage. Elsewhere, outside of the area described in
SPECIAL FEATURES, moderate or weaker trades and 4-7 ft seas
prevail across the Atlantic Basin.
For the forecast west of 55W, the aforementioned front will
dissipate later today, and high pressure north of the front will
shift eastward, allowing winds and seas to diminish. Another weak
front will stall off the northeast Florida coast by Mon, then lift
northward Mon night. Expect southerly winds and building seas
north of 29N and west of 75W late Mon and Tue as low pressure
moves from the northern Gulf to the Carolinas. Looking ahead,
these strong southerly winds will shift eastward Tue night into
Wed, north of 28N ahead of a cold front moving off the northeast
Florida coast Tue night. This front will reach from Bermuda to
South Florida by late Wed, and from 31N60W to eastern Cuba by late
Thu. Meanwhile, as described in SPECIAL FEATURES, strong winds
and rough seas will accompany a trough moving westward into the
waters northeast of the Leeward Islands Sun through Tue night.

Marine Weather Discussion
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.

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
