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 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0430 UTC.
...TROPICAL WAVES...
The axis of an eastern Atlantic tropical wave is near 22W, S of
11.5N, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. Nearby convection is
discussed in the monsoon trough/ITCZ section below.
The axis of a central Atlantic tropical wave is near 50W S of
18N, moving westward at 10 to 15 kt. No significant convection is
associated with this wave.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 15N17.5W, and
continues southwestward to 03N25W. The ITCZ continues from 03N25W
to 02S43.5W. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is
noted S of 05N between 12.5W and 28.5W, and S of 03N between 34.5W
and 50W.
...GULF OF AMERICA...
A stationary front extends from western Cuba to the Yucatan
Peninsula across the Yucatan channel. Gentle to moderate E to SE
winds prevail west of 88W along with seas 2 to 5 ft. Elsewhere,
light to gentle variable winds prevail with seas 1 to 2 ft. A
surface trough over the western Gulf is supporting scattered
moderate convection from 22.5N to 26N and west of 91.5W.
For the forecast, the stationary front will dissipated by Tue.
Moderate to fresh SE to S return flow will set up in the W Gulf
starting Tue as high pressure builds into the eastern Gulf. Winds
will pulse to fresh to strong from Tampico to Veracruz, Mexico Tue
night into Wed. Similar winds will pulse near the northern
Yucatan Wed evening. The next cold front is forecast to enter the
NW Gulf coastal waters Thu morning, quickly stalling Thu evening,
then retreating back inland Fri as ridging builds back in across
the basin from the east.
...CARIBBEAN SEA...
Moderate to fresh trades, and seas of 5-7 ft, prevail across the
eastern and central Caribbean, except for strong winds over the
Gulf of Venezuela and offshore Colombia. Light and variable
winds, and seas of 2-4 ft, are over the NW Caribbean. Gentle to
moderate winds, and seas of 4-5 ft, prevail elsewhere.
For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Bermuda High
and the Colombian Low will support fresh to strong trades over the
S central Caribbean along with locally rough seas, with similar
winds in the Gulf of Honduras through the week and into the
weekend, with moderate to fresh trades over the remainder of the E
and central Caribbean. The remnants of a frontal boundary
dissipate by Tue in the far NW basin.
...ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A stationary front extends from 31N61.5W to the Central Bahamas
and western Cuba. Numerous moderate and isolated strong convection
is near the western Bahamas and north of 26N. Moderate to fresh
NE winds, and seas of 5 to 7 ft, prevail west of the front.
Farther east, a 1015 mb low is centered near 31N23W. The remainder
of the discussion waters are dominated by high pressure, anchored
by a 1024 mb high centered near 34N46W. The pressure gradient
between this high and lower pressure in the vicinity of the ITCZ
is supporting moderate to fresh winds N of the ITCZ to near 16N
between 31W and 60W. Seas over these waters are in the 5-7 ft
range. Gentle to locally moderate winds, and seas of 3-6 ft,
generally prevail elsewhere.
For the forecast west of 55W, the front will remain stationary
into Tue, then the northern portions will shift east as a cold
front Tue night and Wed. Fresh to locally strong NE winds N of the
front will slowly diminish into mid-week as the boundary weakens,
with quiescent conditions expected Wed and Thu for area waters. A
weak cold front may reach our NW waters Thu night and steadily
move eastward through the end of the week. High pressure ridging
and a relatively week pressure gradient should prevail by the
weekend.

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.

.WARNINGS...Any changes impacting coastal NWS offices will be
coordinated through AWIPS II Collaboration Chat, or by
telephone:
.GULF OF MEXICO...
None.
.CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN

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
