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
1635 UTC.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 07N12.5W and
continues southwestward to 01S26W. The ITCZ extends from 01S26W
to 01S45W. Scattered moderate convection is depicted from 04S to
04N between 11W and 37W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
Weak high pressure supports gentle to moderate breezes across the
basin. Seas are 2-4 ft off the western Yucatan Peninsula, and 1-3
ft elsewhere.
For the forecast, weak high pressure will persist over the
northeast Gulf through late Fri. A trough over the Bay of Campeche
will support moderate to fresh winds off the northern and western
coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, mainly at night, through Sun.
The next cold front will move into the northern Gulf Sat morning,
reach the southeast Gulf by Sun morning, and move southeast of the
basin late on Sun. Fresh to strong NE to E winds and rough seas
will follow the front over the eastern Gulf Sat night through
early Mon. The pressure gradient will remain strong enough to
sustain fresh to strong east winds across the southeast Gulf and
the Straits of Florida through the middle of the next week.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The pressure gradient between the ridge north of the basin and
lower pressures in northern South America is supporting fresh to
strong NE-E winds and moderate to locally rough seas in the
south- central Caribbean. Moderate to fresh easterly winds and
moderate seas prevail across the basin, except for gentle winds
over the SW part of the basin and the Mona Passage.
For the forecast, high pressure north of the area combined with
the Colombian low will support fresh to strong trade winds and
moderate to rough seas offshore Colombia through early next week.
Looking ahead, high pressure will follow a strong cold front
moving through the western Atlantic this weekend, supporting fresh
to strong NE winds and building seas in the lee side of Cuba, the
Windward Passage, and just south of Hispaniola from Sun through
the early part of next week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A stationary front extends from 31N60W to 29N75W. A surface trough
extends from 31N46.5W to 21N56W. A few showers and thunderstorms
are noted near these features. For the remainder of the basin, a
weak pressure gradient is leading to moderate or weaker winds and
moderate seas, except for moderate to locally fresh winds east of
the Lesser Antilles. In the far eastern Atlantic, moderate to
fresh N-NE winds and rough seas are impacting waters north of 20N
and east of 27W.
For the forecast west of 55W, a stationary front extends from
31N60W to 29N75W. Fresh winds and rough seas north of front will
diminish through the morning as the front dissipates. Moderate
winds and seas will prevail thereafter through late Fri across the
region under the influence of a ridge. Looking ahead, another
strong cold front will move into the waters offshore of northeast
Florida by Sat morning, reach from 31N65W to central Florida by
Sat night, and from 31N60W to SE Florida by Sun morning. Strong
winds, with frequent gusts to gale force, and rough to very rough
seas will follow the front through early next week.

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.

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
