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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0600 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 09N13W and continues
southwestward to 08N16W, where it transitions to the ITCZ and
continues to 05N35W, and then runs west-northwestward to the coast
of Guyana near 07N59W. Scattered moderate convection is occurring
E of 31W between 03N and 13N, and also near the coast of Guyana.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
Satellite imagery shows a fog bank forming along the Gulf coast of
Florida from the Big Bend down to near Venice, FL as of 0550 UTC.
Mariners should be aware of the potential for reduced visibility
within 20-30 nm of the coast in these aforementioned areas. A
weak stationary front extends from near Apalachicola, FL across
the N Gulf to the TX coast near Port Aransas. Widely scattered
showers are seen near and in the vicinity of the front. Otherwise,
weak ridging continues to dominate the basin. Recent
scatterometer data indicates moderate to fresh SE to E winds
across much of the Gulf W of 90W, and gentle to moderate E to NE
winds E of 90W. Slight seas prevail across the Gulf.
For the forecast, a frontal boundary remains stationary from the
Florida Panhandle to Lake Jackson, Texas. The front will lift
northeastward as a warm front tonight as low pressure develops
over the Southern Plains. Expect fresh southerly flow off the
Texas coast tonight through Mon night supported by the gradient
between low pressure over northeast Mexico and high pressure off
the Carolinas. These winds will diminish Tue ahead of a frontal
boundary that will be nearing the Texas coast. A stronger
reinforcing cold front will overtake the frontal boundary early
Wed, then move into the northwest Gulf. The cold front will then
sweep to the southeast of the basin by late Thu, followed by fresh
to strong northeast winds and building seas into the weekend.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms may accompany the initial
frontal boundary.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
A weak upper level trough and convergent surface winds in the NW
Caribbean is leading to scattered moderate convection near the
coasts of Belize, Honduras, Nicaragua, as well as more isolated
convection near the SW coast of Jamaica. In the SW Caribbean, the
East Pacific monsoon trough is supporting more scattered moderate
convection generally S of 12N and W of 75W. Outside of convection,
the pressure gradient between high pressure over the SE US and the
Colombia low sustains fresh to strong NE winds off the NW coast of
Colombia, with rough seas also analyzed in the region. Moderate to
fresh trades and moderate seas persist across the remainder of
the basin.
For the forecast, high pressure north of the area will force
fresh to strong easterly trade winds and rough seas offshore of
northern Colombia each night and morning through mid week. In the
remainder of the basin, the weather pattern will also support
moderate to fresh breezes along with moderate seas through the
period.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
An elongated surface trough persists over the central Atlantic
from 31N48W to near 20N50W. A broad upper level low is also
centered near 26N49W, and is aiding in the development of
scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms from 18N to 31N
between 42W and 51W. A pair of surface troughs are also analyzed
over the eastern Atlantic, one from 28N21W to 18N27W and the other
from 31N10W to near 17N22W. Another upper level low appears to be
centered near 24N25W, with these three features resulting in
widely scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms E of 28W
between 13N and 29N.
Elsewhere across the Atlantic, a cold front enters the discussion
waters near 31N71W and extends to the FL coast near Cape
Canaveral. No notable convection is associated with this front.
Otherwise, a trade wind regime persists across much of the
Atlantic, with recent scatterometer data indicating moderate to
fresh trades and moderate seas confirmed by altimeter data
prevailing across much of the Atlantic E of 50W, as well as S of
20N between the Lesser Antilles and 50W. Gentle to moderate NE
winds and slight seas prevail elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, a weak cold front extends from
31N73W to Palm Bay, Florida and will reach from near Bermuda to
Sebastian Inlet, Florida by early Mon. The eastern portion of the
front will continue eastward and reach from 30N55W to 27N70W by
early Tue, while the portion west of 70W starts to lift back north
as a warm front. High pressure will shift eastward off Carolina
coast following the front, supporting moderate to fresh northeast
to east winds and moderate seas over the region. Looking ahead,
winds and seas will diminish west of 70W by Wed, ahead of a
stronger front expected to move off the northeast Florida coast
Wed night. The front will reach from Bermuda to the Straits of
Florida by early Fri, followed by fresh northeast winds and
building seas through Fri night.

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
