421 AXNT20 KNHC 312325 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 0015 UTC Sun Jun 1 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 1800 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 2315 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is analyzed along 18W, south of 17N, and moving westward at 10 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 04N to 17N and east of 29W. A SW Caribbean tropical wave is located along 79W, south of 16N, and moving westward at 15 kt. Scattered showers are evident in the SW Caribbean. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... A monsoon trough enters the Atlantic along the coastal border of Senegal and Gambia, then curves southwestward to 06N25W. An ITCZ continues from 06N25W to 03N41W. A few showers are evident from 01N to 08N and between 33W and 47W. ...GULF OF AMERICA... A cold front extends from SW Florida to the central waters of the Gulf of America. A few showers are seen near the frontal boundary in the SE Gulf. Similar convection is also present off the coasts of Tamaulipas and northern Veracruz. The Gulf is under the influence of a weak ridge that supports moderate to occasionally fresh N-NE winds off northern and western Yucatan. Seas in these waters are slight. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to locally moderate seas are prevalent. For the forecast, a weak front over the northern Gulf will drift southward and then stall and dissipate through early Sun. Moderate to fresh E to NE winds are expected each afternoon and evening north of the Yucatan Peninsula and into the eastern Bay of Campeche as a trough develops daily and moves westward. Elsewhere high pressure will build in the wake of the front with gentle to moderate breezes and slight seas across most of the Gulf through early next week. Expect moderate to fresh SE winds and building seas across the western and south- central Gulf Tue into Thu between a trough over northern Mexico and high pressure over the Carolinas. ...CARIBBEAN SEA... An upper level trough and convergence at the surface is helping to induce scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across the islands in the western Greater Antilles. Some of the convection is also affecting the regional waters. The strong upper level winds are also inducing high clouds over much of the eastern Caribbean, along with some showers. The pressure gradient between the subtropical ridge in the central Atlantic and lower pressures in northern South America sustain fresh to locally strong easterly trade winds across much of the central and eastern Caribbean. Seas in these waters are 5-8 ft. Moderate to locally fresh easterly winds and moderate seas are found in the Gulf of Honduras. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas prevail. For the forecast, Fresh to strong E winds and moderate to rough seas will expand across most of the Caribbean through the middle of next week. ...ATLANTIC OCEAN... A cold front enters the SW North Atlantic near 31N74W and continues southwestward to southern Florida. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are noted ahead of the frontal boundary, mainly north of 25N and west of 68W. Moderate to locally fresh SW-W winds and seas of 5-9 ft are noted north of 26N and west of 62W. Farther east, a stationary front extends from a 1020 mb low pressure in the central Atlantic near 31N45W to 25N54W. A few showers are seen near this boundary. The remainder of the basin is dominated by a strong 1030 mb high pressure system centered just west of the Azores. This ridge supports moderate to fresh easterly trade winds and seas of 5-8 ft south of 22N and west of 35W. In the eastern Atlantic, fresh to locally strong NE winds and seas of 4-6 ft are occurring from 24N to 29N and east of 19W. Elsewhere, moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail. For the forecast west of 55W, fresh to strong SW winds and rough seas are ahead of a weak cold front moving into the waters off between Florida and Bermuda. These winds and seas will diminish through Sun as the front stalls and dissipates. A second weak front will move off the southeast U.S. coast Mon and reach from Bermuda to east- central Florida by late Tue, then dissipate as it moves eastward through mid week. High pressure will build in the wake of the front with fresh to strong winds off the north coast of Hispaniola late Wed and Thu. $$ Delgado
