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
0930 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Atlantic Gale Warning: A tight gradient will set up between a
trough or low pressure forming east of the Bahamas, and strong
high pressure farther north over the eastern U.S. and western
Atlantic. This pattern will support gale force winds and rough to
very rough seas across the western Atlantic north of 27N and west of
60W from late Sat through Sun night into Mon morning. This will
include waters between northeast Florida, the northern Bahamas,
and Bermuda. Mariners are urged to remain alert to these dangerous
marine conditions, and take the necessary precautions to avoid
the affected areas.
Heavy Rainfall in the North Caribbean: A broad upper-level
trough extends from the United States into the NW Caribbean,
while deep moisture convergence is ongoing at lower levels in the
southern Caribbean. A broad plume of very moist air will interact
with the upper level trough in the NW Caribbean, sustaining
moisture into Hispaniola, Jamaica, Cuba, and the Bahamas over the
next several days. Low-level winds will also lead to moist onshore
flow entering along the southern coasts of east Cuba and Haiti,
where heavy precipitation is expected through Sunday. Expect the
heaviest precipitation to occur across all other aforementioned
areas on Sat and Sun. Heavy rainfall will raise concerns for
dangerous and life-threatening flash flooding.
Please refer to your local weather services and the International
Desk at the Weather Prediction Center for more information.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough extends off the coast of Africa near 13N16W
and extends to 07N30W. The ITCZ extends from 07N35W to 05N52W.
Scattered moderate convection is noted from 08N to 11N between
17W and 20W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A tight gradient between 1020 mb high pressure off Louisiana and a
trough over the northwest Caribbean is supporting moderate to
fresh NE winds and 4-6 ft seas across the eastern Gulf this
morning. Light to gentle NE to E winds and 1-3 ft seas are noted
over the western Gulf.
For the forecast, a tightening pressure gradient between the high
pressure and a low pressure forecast to develop near the Bahamas
will bring fresh to strong NE winds and rough seas over the
eastern Gulf, including the Florida Straits, tonight through early
next week.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Please see the Special Features section above for information
about the potential for heavy rainfall over eastern Cuba,
Hispaniola, and Jamaica.
An upper level trough over NW Caribbean supports scattered to
numerous showers and thunderstorms over the north-central
Caribbean. A weak pressure gradient over the area is generating
moderate or weaker winds, and slight to moderate seas, over the
basin.
For the forecast, scattered to numerous showers and thunderstorms
over the north-central Caribbean and Windward Passage will
prevail through Sat. Meanwhile, a broad trough over the central
and western Caribbean will support light winds and slight to
moderate seas west of 75W through Sat, and moderate to fresh E to
SE winds and moderate seas east of 75W. Fresh N to NE winds
across the western Caribbean with building seas west of 80W are
expected by early next week as high pressure builds north of the
area. Expect rough seas and large swell across the Yucatan Channel
Mon and Tue. Little change is expected elsewhere.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the Special Features section above for information
about a develop gale warning over the western Atlantic.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are active east of the
northern Bahamas, and west of a trough reaching from 31N60W to
the central Bahamas. Gentle to moderate breezes persist east of
50W, although a tongue of large N swell continues to move into
the waters between 70W, with 7 to 9 ft wave heights. Waves are 5-7
ft elsewhere west of 560W. Scattered showers and thunderstorms
are active near another surface trough is noted along 50W north of
25N, and within 90 nm east of a trough along 32W from 10N to 18N.
Elsewhere, broad ridging centered on 1030 mb high pressure near
the Azores is maintaining fresh to strong SE to S winds and 6-8
ft seas north of 27N between 45W and 50W, and moderate to fresh E
winds and 5-7 ft seas elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, large northerly swell will continue
to propagate across the forecast region W of 65W and NE of the
Bahamas through Fri. A tightening pressure gradient will develop
beginning late Fri as high pressure builds southward over the
western Atlantic and low pressure deepens near the Bahamas along a
trough or developing frontal boundary. This setup is expected to
induce widespread fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough to very
rough seas, with winds likely reaching gale-force over much of the
waters north of 27N and W of 60W Sat night through Sun night.
Mariners are urged to remain alert to these dangerous marine
conditions, and take the necessary precautions to avoid the
affected areas.

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
