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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
2130 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
A monsoon trough enters the Atlantic along the coast of Senegal
near 14N16.5W then curves southwestward to 02.5N33W. ITCZ
continues southwestward from 02.5N33W to 01N38W to 07N56W and then
to the coast of Guyana near 07N59W. Numerous moderate scattered
strong convection is noted south of the monsoon trough from 00N to
07N between 09W and 25W. Scattered moderate convection is seen
near and up to 150 nm within the ITCZ west of 46W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
The remnants of the recent cold front can be seen in satellite
imagery this evening, in the form of a shearline, extending from
offshore the NW coast of Cuba near 23N84W to 24N89W to 27N94W.
Midday satellite scatterometer wind data showed convergent fresh
to strong E to SE winds to the northeast of this boundary, that
continue to trigger scattered showers and thunderstorms within 200
nm NE of the shearline, and extend inland across the coasts of
Louisiana and southeast Texas. Seas are 5 to 8 ft within these
winds. Otherwise, high pressure across the western Atlantic
extends a ridge southwestward over the Gulf. Gentle to moderate
SE to S winds with 3 to 5 ft prevail across the W and SW Gulf.
For the forecast, fresh winds and rough seas along and just NE of
the shearline will gradually diminish tonight in the southeastern
and central Gulf. High pressure will then build across the Gulf
region, with a relatively weak pressure gradient expected across
the area. This will result in gentle to moderate SE winds basin-
wide Thu through the weekend.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The tail-end of an old cold front has become stationary across the
N and NW coast of Hispaniola, and is producing scattered showers
across eastern Cuba, along the north coast of Hispaniola, and
across interior Jamaica. Farther west, a surface trough is
bringing patchy showers in the northwestern basin. Moderate to
locally fresh ENE winds and seas of 4 to 6 ft prevail in the lee
of Cuba and through the Windward Passage. Gentle to moderate ENE
to E winds and 2 to 4 ft seas prevail across the remainder of the
Caribbean Sea, except seas to 5 ft along the NW coast of Colombia.
For the forecast, fresh to locally strong NE winds are expected
through the Windward Passage and southwest of Cuba through
tonight as a late-season cold front stalls across eastern Cuba and
the N coast of Hispaniola along about 20N, then dissipates Thu.
The Atlantic high pressure located north of the basin will weaken
over the next couple of days and support a weaker than usual
pressure gradient over 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...
An Atlantic cold front enters the area waters near 31N53W and
extends southwestward to 21N67W, then has become stationary to the
NW coast of Haiti. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms
are occurring up to 300 nm E of the front, to the N of 25N, and
within 90 nm southeast of this feature elsewhere. Further south,
a surface trough is causing scattered showers east of the northern
Leeward Islands. Fresh to locally strong N to NE winds and 7 to 11
ft seas prevail N of the cold front, except gentle to moderate
winds and seas at 3 to 5 ft off northeastern Florida to 75W. To
the east of the front, moderate S to SW winds and 4 to 6 ft seas
dominate north of 25N between 44W and cold front. For the
remainder of the Atlantic west of 36W, gentle with locally
moderate ENE to E winds and 4 to 5 ft seas exist. N of 20N and E
of 36W, N swell is producing seas of 7 to 12 ft, with new large N
swell poised to enter those waters and reinforce seas tonight and
Thu.
For the forecast west of 55W, fresh to strong N to NE winds and
rough seas will follow the front as it moves eastward through
tonight, and stalls along about 20N to the north of Puerto Rico
and Hispaniola. Conditions will gradually improve late this week
as the front weakens and eventually stalls Fri 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, with the
exception of the NE waters where fresh westerly winds and rough
seas are expected as a cold front clips the area on Sat.

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.

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
