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 
1640 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Gulf of America Gale Warning: A strong cold front will move into
the NW Gulf late tonight, then quickly move SE through the basin 
and exit Mon. Strong to near gale-force N to NE winds and rough 
seas can be expected behind the front, with gale force winds and 
very rough seas offshore of Veracruz Mon. Gale force winds are 
forecast to begin at 10/1200 UTC, with seas to 12 ft. For more 
information, please see the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by 
the National Hurricane Center at website:
https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml for more
information.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... 

The monsoon trough is analyzed inland over Africa. The ITCZ 
extends from the coast of Guinea-Bissau near 11N15W to the coast 
of Brazil near 01N50W. Scattered moderate convection is from 06N 
to 15N between 13W and 25W. Scattered showers are evident 
elsewhere within 120 nm north and south of the ITCZ.

GULF OF AMERICA...

Weak high pressure ridging provides for moderate or weaker
S to SW winds across the basin. Seas are 2-4 ft. Scattered showers
are along a surface trough in the NE Gulf, near the Big Bend of
Florida. 

For the forecast, a strong cold front will move into the NW Gulf 
late tonight, then quickly move SE through the basin and exit Mon.
Strong to near gale-froce N to NE winds and rough seas can be 
expected behind the front, with gale force winds and very rough 
seas offshore of Veracruz Mon. Conditions will improve basin- wide
by Tue evening.

CARIBBEAN SEA...

The persistent surface trough in the western Caribbean continues
to support the development of scattered moderate convection,
mainly within 90 nm of the coasts of Nicaragua, Costa Rica, and
Panama. Moderate trades, and 3-6 ft seas, prevail across the
eastern and central Caribbean, except off the coast of Colombia
where trades are pulsing to strong speeds. In the NW Caribbean,
light to gentle winds and 1-3 ft seas prevail.

For the forecast, locally strong winds and rough seas are 
expected in the south-central and portions of the north-central 
Caribbean into Mon. Rough seas in N swell will continue over the 
tropical Atlantic waters east of the Lesser Antilles into Mon and 
then will gradually subside through Tue. A strong cold front is 
slated to enter the NW Caribbean Mon, leading to widespread strong
to near gale force N winds and rough seas in the wake of the 
front. The cold front is forecast to reach from E Cuba to E 
Honduras Tue evening where it will stall before it starts to 
weaken Tue night into Wed. 
 
ATLANTIC OCEAN...

The stationary front continues to dissipate in the central 
Atlantic, from 31N43W to 27N54W. A surface trough extends from
31N73W to the north-central Bahamas, with scattered moderate
convection north of 26N between 65W and 72W. A trough is analyzed
near 60W, from 18N to 12N, moving westward across the Lesser
Antilles. Scattered showers and tstorms are evident across the
islands. Satellite scatterometer data indicates gentle to moderate
trades north of 20N, and moderate to fresh trades south of 20N.
East of 55W, NW swell with periods of 12-15 seconds continues to 
propagate across most of the basin, with seas of 7-11 ft. West of 
55W, seas are 4-7 ft. 

For the forecast west of 55W, the large NW swell will continue to
subside today. Moderate to fresh S to SW winds developing 
offshore of NE Florida Sun morning will reach fresh to strong 
speeds Sun night into Mon ahead of a strong cold front that will 
push off the SE U.S. Sun night. The front will progress SE and 
reach from Bermuda to E Cuba Tue afternoon, with the southern 
portion of the front stalling from 27N63W to E Cuba Tue night into
Wed. Strong to near gale force winds and rough to very rough seas
are expected behind the front through Tue night. Gale conditions 
in W to NW winds are possible along and N of 29N Mon night into 
Tue, especially W of 70W.
