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
2100 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
Western Atlantic Gale Warning: A strong cold front will move into
the waters offshore of NE Florida by Sat morning. The front will
reach from 31N60W to SE Florida by Sun morning, and from 31N49W
to Hispaniola by Mon morning before dissipating over the SE waters
on Tue. Strong winds, with frequent gusts to gale force, and
rough to very rough seas are expected west of the front from Sat
morning through Sun morning.
Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National
Hurricane Center at website:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more details.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 07.5N12.5W and
continues southwestward to 02S29W. The ITCZ extends from 02S29W to
02.5S41W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 00N to 05N
between 10W and 33W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A 1023 mb high pressure center is over the NE Gulf with a surface
trough over the SW Gulf. Light to gentle winds are in the vicinity
of the high center, with gentle to moderate winds elsewhere. Seas
are in the 1-2 ft range over the NE Gulf, and 2-3 ft elsewhere.
For the forecast, weak high pressure will persist over the
northern Gulf through tonight. 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 the
middle of the next week. The next cold front will move into the
northern Gulf by Sat morning, reach from south Florida to near SE
Louisiana by Sun morning, and move southeast of the basin late on
Sun. Fresh to strong NE to E winds and moderate seas are expected
in the wake of the front over the northern Gulf on Sat morning.
Then, similar wind speeds are forecast over the eastern Gulf late
Sat through Sun. The pressure gradient will remain strong enough
to sustain fresh east winds and moderate to rough seas across the
southeast Gulf and the Straits of Florida through the middle of
the next week.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
The pressure gradient between high pressure north of the basin
and the Colombian low is supporting fresh to strong trades in the
south-central Caribbean. Seas are in the 6-8 ft range over these
waters. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds and 4-7 ft seas prevail
elsewhere across the basin.
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.
Then, high pressure following a strong cold front moving through
the western Atlantic this weekend, will sustain fresh to strong NE
to E winds and building seas in the lee side of Cuba, the
Windward Passage, and just south of Hispaniola from Sat night
through the early part of next week.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
Please see the SPECIAL FEATURES section for information on a GALE
WARNING.
High pressure prevails across much of the discussion waters. A
surface trough extends from 31N54W to N of Puerto Rico. Scattered
moderate and isolated strong convection is in the vicinity of this
trough. Gentle to moderate winds, and moderate seas, prevail
across the discussion waters.
For the forecast west of 55W, a ridge will dominate the forecast
waters through tonight supporting gentle to moderate easterly
winds and moderate seas. A strong cold front will move into the
waters offshore of northeast Florida by Sat morning, reach from
31N60W to SE Florida by Sun morning, and from 31N49W to Hispaniola
by Mon morning before dissipating over the SE waters on Tue.
Strong high pressure will follow the front. As the strong high
pressure moves eastward across the Atlantic, expect fresh to
strong NE to E winds and rough to very rough seas across most of
the forecast region likely through Tue night into Wed.

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
