1215 UTC Tue Oct 14 2025
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
0925 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Tropical Storm Lorenzo is centered near 16.2N 42.8W at 14/0300
UTC or 1080 nm W of the Cabo Verde Islands, moving NW at 11 kt.
Estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb. Maximum sustained
wind speed is 50 kt with gusts to 60 kt. Peak seas are around 21
ft (6.5 M). The storm is poorly organized and clusters of moderate
to strong convection extend are found within 200 nm over the
eastern semicircle. Lorenzo is moving toward the NW and this
motion is expected to continue today, followed by a turn to the
north tonight. A northeastward motion is expected on Wednesday and
Thursday. Little change in strength is forecast over the next few
days.
Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the
National Hurricane Center at website -
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml and the latest
Lorenzo NHC Forecast/Advisory and Public Advisory at
www.hurricanes.gov for more details.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
A far eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 23W, south of 13N, moving
west at 10 kt. Numerous moderate to isolated strong convection is
observed from 06N to 13N and between 19W and 26W.
Another eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 33W, south of 12N,
moving westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is
occurring from 02N to 12N and between 30W and 37W.
A central Atlantic tropical wave is along 56W, south of 15N, moving
westward at 10-15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from
09N to 14N and between 52W and 62W.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
Guinea-Bissau near 12N16W and continues southwestward to 07N23W
and to 06N35W. The ITCZ extends from 06N35W to 07N44W. No
additional convection is evident near the monsoon trough/ITCZ.
GULF OF AMERICA...
A weak high pressure system over Louisiana supports moderate or
weaker anticyclonic winds and seas of 2-4 ft over much of the
basin. A few pockets of low-level moisture travel across the SE
and western Gulf waters, resulting in isolated, shallow showers.
For the forecast, weak ridging will prevail through the forecast
period, resulting in gentle to moderate winds and slight to
moderate seas over much of the Gulf. Winds are forecast to
increase to fresh speeds over the eastern and central Gulf Thu
night through Sat night as the pressure gradient tightens some
across the area. Winds will veer to the SE and S toward the end of
the week as high pressure over the SE United States shifts
eastward into the western Atlantic. Looking ahead, a cold front
will reach the northern waters on Sun.
CARIBBEAN SEA...
Divergence aloft, plenty of tropical moisture and a weak surface
trough across the NW Caribbean combine to produce abundant showers
and isolated thunderstorms over much of the NW and SW Caribbean. A
few showers are also seen in the central and eastern Caribbean. A
weak pressure gradient across the basin sustains moderate easterly
trade winds and moderate seas in the eastern and central
Caribbean. Elsewhere, light to gentle winds and slight seas
prevail. However, mariners are advised that stronger winds and
higher seas are likely near the strongest storms.
For the forecast, a cold front extends from 31N73W to the NW
Bahamas and will move across Cuba and the NW Caribbean today
through Thu. Moderate to locally fresh winds and moderate seas are
expected in the wake of the front. Unsettled weather conditions
will persist along and ahead of the frontal boundary. Elsewhere, a
weak pressure gradient will support moderate or lighter winds and
slight to moderate seas over much of the basin through the work
week. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Lorenzo is well E of the forecast
region near 17.2N 43.8W at 5 AM EDT, and is moving northwest at 13
kt. Maximum sustained winds are 50 kt with gusts to 60 kt, and
the minimum central pressure is 1000 mb.
ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please refer to the Special Features section for details on
Tropical Storm Lorenzo in the central Atlantic.
An extratropical cyclone off the Carolinas extends a cold front to
the NW Bahamas. Scattered moderate convection is noted ahead of
this boundary. Fresh W winds and rough seas are found N of 30N and
between 71W and 75W. Moderate to fresh SW winds and moderate winds
are occurring north of 27N and between 65W and 71W. Meanwhile,
moderate to locally fresh E-SE winds and moderate seas are present
south of 23N and between 60W and 75W. Farther east, a 1005 mb low
pressure near 29N55W extends a surface trough to 25N60W. A few
showers are found ahead of the trough. Fresh to strong cyclonic
winds and seas of 5-9 ft are present north of 26N and between 47W
and 60W. The rest of the SW North Atlantic, west of 55W, is
dominated by a weak high pressure system centered between Bermuda
and Puerto Rico, supporting light to gentle winds and moderate
seas.
Outside of Lorenzo, the central and eastern tropical Atlantic
waters are also under the influence of a relaxed gradient as
multiple storm systems transit across the midlatitudes. In
general, moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas dominate these
waters.
For the forecast, the aforementioned cold front will move SE
across the forecast waters through the week. The front will reach
from 31N70W to western Cuba by Tue morning, from near Bermuda to
central Cuba by Wed morning, and from 31N60W to eastern Cuba by
Thu morning. Fresh to strong winds and rough seas are expected on
either side of the front across the waters N of 27N by Tue night.
These marine conditions will shift eastward with the front through
late in the week. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Lorenzo is well E of
the forecast region near 17.2N 43.8W at 5 AM EDT, and is moving
northwest at 13 kt. Maximum sustained winds are 50 kt with gusts
to 60 kt, and the minimum central pressure is 1000 mb.

The system is producing a few clusters of deep convection, one of which is currently over the low-level center. The satellite intensity estimates have come down and now range from 30 to 39 kt. In addition, very recent ASCAT passes show peak winds of about 35 kt. Based on these data, the initial intensity is lowered to 40 kt. Lorenzo continues to move northwestward at 13 kt. A turn to the north is expected later today as the storm moves into a weakness in the subtropical ridge. On Wednesday, the storm is likely to turn northeastward when it moves in the flow between an approaching mid-to upper-level trough and the subtropical ridge over the eastern Atlantic. If the storm survives, the system could turn eastward or southeastward this weekend on the northern periphery of the ridge. The track guidance is in fair agreement, and no big changes were made to the previous prediction. The storm is currently embedded in a sheared and dry environment, and those conditions are expected to persist during the next several days. The model guidance shows little to no strengthening. In fact, most of the global models show Lorenzo remaining lopsided, and then opening up into a trough within the next few days. Based on a combination of the models and the lower initial intensity, the NHC intensity forecast has again been nudged downward, and now shows dissipation occurring by day 4.

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.
