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
1800 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough reaches the Atlantic through the coast of
Sierra Leone near 08N13W and continues southwestward to 03N20W.
The ITCZ extends from 03N20W and continues to 01N42W. Scattered
moderate convection is S of 04N between 15W and 35W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
With high pressure centered NE of the basin, moderate to fresh SE
winds dominate, along with seas of 3 to 6 ft. No significant
convection is ongoing.
For the forecast, high pressure over the region will begin to
retreat eastward Sat evening in response to a cold front that will
be approaching the Texas coast. The cold front will reach from
the southeastern United States to the central Gulf and to the
west- central Gulf Sun, then stall from S Florida to the central
Gulf and to the west-centrtal Gulf from early next week into the
mid-week. Low pressure may develop along the western part of the
front during the weekend. Strong northeast winds are expected
across portions of the northern and western Gulf behind the front
along with rough seas. Moderate to fresh southeast winds will
precede the front, except in the Straits of Florida, where locally
strong east winds will prevail.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The pressure gradient between a ridge N of the area and the
Colombian low is supporting fresh to strong E to NE winds
offshore Colombia, south of Hispaniola and also in the Windward
Passage. Seas over these areas are in the 6-8 ft range. Moderate
to fresh NE to E winds and moderate seas prevail elsewhere. Upper-
level divergence is yielding scattered showers and isolated
thunderstorms in the NW basin.
For the forecast, the pressure gradient between high pressure
centered near Bermuda and low pressure near Colombia will continue
to support pulsing strong winds and rough seas offshore Colombia,
Cuba, Hispaniola, and through the Windward Passage into Sat. The
high pressure will weaken some as it slides eastward this weekend
allowing for the the gradient to slacken. This will lead to
diminishing winds and subsiding seas. An inverted trough will
develop from Hispaniola northward into the open Atlantic Mon
through Tue, maintaining fresh trade winds across the eastern
Caribbean, with gentle to moderate winds elsewhere.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
High pressure N of the area extends a ridge across the entire
subtropical waters. The pressure gradient between the ridge and
the trough is supporting fresh to strong NE to E winds across the
offshores N of the Greater Antilles, including the southern and
central Bahamas and the Windward Passage. Seas in this area are up
to 11 ft. Over the far E Atlantic, a surface trough extends from
26N22W to 22N29W, which is tightening the gradient of pressure
and supporting moderate to fresh NE to E winds E of 35W,
including the Canary Islands. It is also now generating scattered
showers and isolated thunderstorms N of 20N and E of 32W.
Moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas are elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, the pressure gradient between high
pressure located well north of the area and relatively lower
pressure to the south is allowing for generally strong northeast
to east winds along with rough seas over much of the waters S of
26N. These conditions will gradually diminish through the weekend
as the high weakens while shifting eastward. An inverted surface
trough is forecast to develop from Hispaniola northward into the
open Atlantic by Sun night allowing for winds to weaken further. A
cold front is expected to emerge off the southeastern United
States coast early on Mon, then slowly move southeastward reaching
from near 31N70W to South Florida by Tue morning. Strong to near
gale-force winds northeast winds and seas building to a rough
state are expected behind this front.

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.

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
