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.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
A monsoon trough enters the Atlantic along the coast of Guinea
near 11N15W, then curves southwestward to 00N26W. The ITCZ
extends from 00N26W to 02S40W to 00S50W. Scattered moderate to
isolated strong convection is observed from 04S to 10N between 06W
and 26W. Scattered moderate convection is from 08S to 04N between
25W and 38W, and from 02S to 12N W of 45W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
Scattered to isolated showers continue to move eastward away from
the Florida Straits this morning while dense fog was repored over
the NW Gulf offshore waters. A 1019 mb high NE of the northern
Bahamas extends a ridge across Florida and into the western Gulf.
A weak pressure gradient over the region is supporting gentle to
moderate SE winds and slight to moderate seas. Otherwise, satellite
images indicate that smoke from agricultural fires in SE Mexico
is affecting the SW Gulf waters. Mariners may experience
diminished visibility in the area.
For the forecast, high pressure will prevail across the Gulf
region, with a relatively weak pressure gradient across the area.
This will result in gentle to moderate SE winds and moderate seas
basin-wide through Mon. The exception will be off the Yucatan
Peninsula, where a diurnal trough will pulse moderate winds to
fresh during the evenings. Southeasterly winds are forecast to
reach moderate to fresh speeds over the western half of Gulf Mon
night into mid-week.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
A few showers and isolated thunderstorms are occurring in the lee
side of central and eastern Cuba as well as the Windward Passage
due to the tail of a dissipating stationary front that extends
across Hispaniola to the offshore waters of southern Cuba.
Otherwise, a 1019 mb high is NE of the northern Bahamas and is
supporting moderate or lighter winds and slight to moderate seas
basin-wide.
For the forecast, high pressure located N of the basin will
weaken over the next couple of days as the remnants of a frontal
boundary, currently located north of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico,
lifts northward as a trough during the upcoming weekend. This
weather pattern will support a weaker than usual pressure gradient
across the Caribbean Sea into Mon, resulting in mainly gentle to
moderate winds and slight to moderate seas across the entire
basin. Winds are forecast to reach moderate to fresh speeds over
the central and eastern Caribbean Mon night through mid-week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A cold front extends from near 31N39W to 26N47W where it becomes
a dissipating stationary front to Hispaniola near 19N69W. The
front is supporting scattered showers in the Great Bahama Bank
while an area of showers continue to migrate from the Florida
Straits to the northern Bahamas. Between the front and the areas
of showers is a 1019 mb high NE of the northern Bahamas, which is
supporting moderate or lighter E to SE winds and slight to
moderate seas across the SW N Atlantic waters. Another 1019 mb
high is E of the front over the E subtropical Atlantic waters,
which is supporting moderate to fresh SW winds ahead of the front
to 30W and N of 26N. Seas with these winds are 5 to 8 ft. Moderate
to fresh NNE winds are between the Canary and Cape Verde Islands,
and the coast of NW Africa with moderate seas. Otherwise, moderate
or weaker winds and moderate seas are elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, the aforementioned front will
dissipate today and the remnant moisture will lift northward as a
trough Sat through Sun. A weak low may develop along the trough
axis E of the Bahamas on Sun. This will support gentle to moderate
winds with slight to moderate seas across most of the forecast
area through the weekend. The exception will be over the NE waters
where fresh to locally strong westerly winds and rough seas are
expected beginning today as another cold front clips the region by
late Sat into Sun.

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.

.WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be
coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by

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
