667 AXNT20 KNHC 031748 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1815 UTC Tue Jun 3 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 1200 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1800 UTC. ...TROPICAL WAVES... The axis of an eastern Atlantic tropical wave is analyzed near 23W, from 15N southward to 03N, moving westward at around 10 kt. Scattered showers are noted near the south end of the wave axis. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Africa near 09N13W and extends southwestward to near 06N16W. The ITCZ continues from 06N16W to 04N20W, where it is broken by a tropical wave. The ITCZ then resumes at 05N27W, and extends to 07N36W and then to 04N52W. Scattered moderate convection is noted within 100 nm N of the ITCZ between 43W and 52W. ...GULF OF AMERICA... A surface trough, the remnant of a stationary front, is over the NE Gulf. This trough along with an upper level low supports numerous moderate and isolated strong convection in the far E Gulf generally to the E of 86W, including the Florida Straits. A second surface trough is offshore the W Yucatan Peninsula and extends into the Bay of Campeche. Scatterometer data indicates moderate to fresh E and SE winds in the E and NE Gulf, with moderate or weaker winds elsewhere. Seas of 1-3 ft prevail across the Gulf. For the forecast, 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. Expect moderate to fresh SE winds and building seas across the western and south- central Gulf through Fri between a trough over northern Mexico and high pressure over the Carolinas. ...CARIBBEAN SEA... An upper level low is aiding in the development of scattered moderate convection across much of the NW Caribbean W of 77W and N of 14N. A ridge of high pressure is N of the Caribbean waters. The pressure gradient between this area of high pressure and the Colombian low is supporting fresh to near gale E winds over much of the central Caribbean. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds prevail elsewhere. Seas are in the 8-12 ft range over the central Caribbean, and 5-8 ft elsewhere. For the forecast, fresh to strong E winds and moderate to rough seas will expand across most of the Caribbean into late week, then diminish slightly at the end of the week. ...ATLANTIC OCEAN... A surface trough extends over the NW waters off northern Florida. This trough as well as an upper level low support numerous moderate and isolated strong convection across the waters S of 28N and W of 73W. High pressure dominates the remainder of the tropical and subtropical waters. Moderate to fresh trades and seas of 4-7 ft prevail across areas S of 20N and W of 35W, as well as N of 20N between the W coast of Africa and 50W. NE winds are locally strong in between the Canary Islands and off the coast of Morocco. Moderate or weaker winds and seas of 3-5 ft prevail elsewhere across the Atlantic. For the forecast west of 55W, a cold front will move into the region between northeast Florida and Bermuda tonight. The front will dissipate southeast of Bermuda late this week. Otherwise, high pressure will dominate, with a tightening pressure gradient leading to pulsing fresh to strong winds off the north coast of Hispaniola nightly through Fri. $$ Adams
