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.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough extends from 08N13W to 04N23W. The ITCZ
stretches from 04N23W to 02N50W. Numerous moderate convection is
along and north of both boundaries to 10N.
GULF OF AMERICA...
A stationary front extends from the Florida Keys to near 25N87W,
where it transitions to a warm front that stretches north to a
1016 mb low pressure just offshore the mouth of the Mississippi
River. Scattered moderated convection is along and north of the
warm front. A stationary front then continues west from the low to
a stronger low, at 1014 mb, just offshore Galveston Bay. Extending
SW from this low is a cold front that reaches inland at the
U.S.-Mexico border. Between the cold front and the Texas coast,
scattered moderate convection is ongoing, along with fresh to
strong N winds and building seas of 5 to 7 ft. N of the warm front
in the far NE Gulf, fresh E winds and seas of 4 to 6 ft exist.
Elsehwere in the basin, winds are moderate or less, with seas
mainly of 2 to 4 ft, except under 2 ft within 120 nm of the
Florida Peninsula.
For the forecast, the cold front in the NW Gulf will move
southeastward over the basin through Fri, and fresh to locally
strong N to NE winds and moderate seas will occur in the western
Gulf behind the front into Fri afternoon. Localized near- gale
force winds will be possible offshore of northeastern Mexico early
on Fri. Mainly moderate or weaker winds are then expected over
the basin Fri evening into Sun. Looking ahead, a new cold front is
expected to enter the northwestern Gulf late on Sun and sweep
over the basin into early next week, leading to fresh to strong N
to NW winds and building seas in the wake of the front.
CARIBBEAN SEA...
A surface trough extending along 67W from Puerto Rico to Venezuela
is inducing scattered moderate convection over the SE basin, S of
16N and E of 69W. Another surface trough in the NW basin is
producing no sensible weather. Fresh winds and moderate seas
encompass most of the basin aside from the NW, where gentle winds
and seas prevail. Locally fresh trades and rough seas are ongoing
offshore Colombia.
For the forecast, moderate to fresh E to NE winds and moderate
seas are expected over much of the Caribbean through this weekend
as low pressure prevails over the south-central basin and high
pressure drifts eastward in the central Atlantic. Locally strong
winds may pulse offshore of Colombia late tonight. Mainly moderate
trade winds are then expected early next week. Rough seas in E
swell will prevail east of the Lesser Antilles and through the
Atlantic Passages into early next week. Looking ahead, a cold
front may approach the northwestern Caribbean early next week.
ATLANTIC OCEAN...
A cold front stretches from Bermuda to the Central Bahamas, where
it transitions to a stationary front and continues through the
Florida Straits. A pre-frontal trough extends from 31N55W to the
Turks and Caicos. Scattered moderate convection is E of this
trough N of 25N and W of 50W.
Outside of convection, ridging stemming from a 1029 mb high near
35N25W extends across much of the basin. This results in a large
swath of fresh trades and moderate rough seas in E swell south of
a line extending from Puerto Rico to the Canary Islands, and N of
07N. Much of the remaining Atlantic is seeing moderate or weaker
winds and moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast west of 55W, rough seas in E swell south of 22N
and east of 60W will slowly subside into Fri. Elsewhere, a
weakening cold front is slated to move through the central
Atlantic on Fri, leading to fresh NW to NE winds and rough seas
north of 27N and east of 65W through Fri night. A low pressure
system moving through the southern United States will support
fresh to locally strong SW winds offshore of northern Florida by
Fri morning, with fresh to strong winds and locally rough seas
expanding eastward into the central Atlantic this weekend. A cold
front associated with this system will push offshore of the
southeastern U.S. this weekend, leading to locally fresh N to NE
winds in the wake of the front offshore of Florida. Looking ahead,
a complex low pressure system and strong cold front may move
through the northwestern tropical Atlantic by early next week,
supporting widespread fresh to strong winds and building seas
ahead of and behind the front.

Tropical Weather Discussion for the eastern Pacific Ocean from
03.4S to 30N, east of 120W including the Gulf of California, and
from the Equator to 30N, between 120W and 140W. The following
information is based on satellite imagery, weather observations,
radar, and meteorological analysis.
Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0300 UTC.
...INTERTROPICAL CONVERGENCE ZONE/MONSOON TROUGH...
The monsoon trough extends from 08.5N78.5W to 08N96.5W. The
ITCZ runs from 08N96.5W to 09N120W to 05.5N135W to beyond
06.5N140W. Scattered moderate convection is from 06N to 08N
between 85W and 90W, and from 06.5N to 11N between 133W and 138W.
...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF MEXICO...
A trough extends from Baja California near 25N112W through 1014
mb low pressure near 22N117W to 18N120W. Scattered moderate
convection is noted within 240 nm E of the trough and low.
Fresh gap winds are noted in the northern Gulf of California, and
fresh NW winds have developed just offshore Mazatlan, Mexico.
Otherwise, mainly gentle winds prevail. Moderate seas prevail
across the Mexican offshore waters and the northern Gulf of
California, except slight near the Gulf of Tehuantepec and
across the southern half of the Gulf of California.
For the forecast, a surface trough west of the Revillagigedo
Islands will keep scattered thunderstorms near the islands
through Fri. Moderate to fresh N winds will diminish in the
northern Gulf of California tonight. High pressure building
southward toward the region will lead to increasing winds for
the Gulf of California and the Gulf of Tehunatepec for the start
of next week. Mon and Tue, strong gap winds are forecast in the
Tehuantepec region. Mainly slight to moderate seas will prevail
across the waters, except building to rough in the Gulf of
Tehuantepec early next week.
...OFFSHORE WATERS WITHIN 250 NM OF CENTRAL AMERICA, COLOMBIA,
AND WITHIN 750 NM OF ECUADOR...
Surface ridging extending across the northern Caribbean supports
moderate to fresh NE winds and moderate seas in the Papagayo
region. S of the monsoon trough, gentle to moderate S to SW
winds and moderate seas prevail. Elsewhere, mainly light winds
with moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast, moderate to fresh gap winds will persist near
the Papagayo region tonight. Light to gentle winds and slight to
moderate seas are expected elsewhere through early next week.
...REMAINDER OF THE AREA...
A deep plume of moisture extends from the ITCZ in the W-central
waters northeastward from 14N to 21N between 130W and 140W. At
the surface, moderate to locally fresh winds and seas, dominate
N of the ITCZ and W of 125W. Elsewhere, gentle to locally
moderate winds and moderate seas prevail.
For the forecast, moderate to fresh trades will dominate N of
the ITCZ to 25N and W of 125W into the weekend, with moderate or
weaker winds elsewhere. Moderate seas will generally prevail, but
NW swell combined with easterly wind waves will lead to rough
seas Fri night into the weekend N of 20N and W of 135W.
