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
0830 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 11N15W and extends
southwestward to 01N30W. The ITCZ extends from 01N30W to 01N50W.
Numerous moderate to scattered strong convection is observed south
of the monsoon trough and east of 30W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A weak pressure gradient across the area is supporting gentle to
moderate winds across the gulf waters. With these winds, seas are
in the 3-6 ft range.
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. The exception will be off the Yucatan
Peninsula, where a diurnal trough will pulse moderate winds to
fresh during the evenings.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Fresh to locally strong winds, and seas of 4-6 ft, are over the
Windward passage and in the lee of Cuba. Moderate to fresh winds,
and seas of 4-5 ft, are found off the coast of Colombia.
Elsewhere, gentle to moderate winds, and seas of 2-3 ft prevail.
For the forecast, high pressure located N of the basin will
weaken over the next couple of days and support a weaker than
usual pressure gradient across the Caribbean Sea into the weekend.
This will result in mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight to
moderate seas across the entire basin Fri through Sun.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A cold front extends from near 31N48W to 24N56W, then stationary
to eastern Cuba. Moderate to fresh winds, locally strong, are
within 300 nm west of the front, with seas in the 6-9 ft range.
Elsewhere W of the front, light to gentle winds, and seas of 3-6
ft prevail. High pressure dominates the remainder of the
discussion waters, anchored by a 1019 mb high centered near
26N32W. Light to gentle winds are in the vicinity of the high
center, with gentle to moderate winds elsewhere. Northerly swell
is bringing rough seas of 8-10 ft to the waters N of 27N between
18W and 35W. Seas of 4-7 ft prevail elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, conditions will gradually improve
late this week as the front weakens and eventually stalls over the
SE waters. High pressure in the wake of the front will weaken
over the next couple of days, bringing a gentle to moderate
anticyclonic flow with slight to moderate seas through the
weekend. The exception will be over the NE waters where fresh
westerly winds and rough seas are expected beginning on Fri as
another cold front reaches the area by Sat.

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
telephone:

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
