Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1215 UTC Sat Feb 1 2025

Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of Mexico, 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1030 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Caribbean Gale Warning: Pulsing gale force winds are expected
each night and morning offshore of Colombia through at least the
middle of next week as a tight pressure gradient persists between
ridging in the central Atlantic and low pressure over northwestern
Colombia. Very rough seas of 12 to 14 ft are anticipated with these winds.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 07N12W and continues
to 05N19W. The ITCZ continues from 05N19W to 01N50W. Scattered
moderate to isolated strong convection is occurring south of 05N
between 40W and 50W. Scattered moderate convection is noted south
of 08N between 10W and 40W.

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A cold front extends from northern Floria to the SW Gulf of
Mexico. Showers and thunderstorms are occurring in the
southeastern Bay of Campeche, west of a trough analyzed from
23N87W to 19N91W. Strong to near-gale force winds are occurring
behind the cold front offshore of Veracruz, where very rough seas
are noted. Moderate to locally fresh N winds and moderate seas are
occurring elsewhere behind the frontal boundary and in the
eastern Bay of Campeche. Moderate SW winds and slight to moderate
seas are present ahead of the front in the NE Gulf. Elsewhere in
the Gulf, moderate or weaker winds and slight to moderate seas are
prevalent.

For the forecast, the aforementioned cold front will slowly
progress southeastward today before stalling and eventually
dissipating this weekend. Moderate to fresh N to NW winds will
occur behind this front this morning, and strong to near-gale
force winds and very rough seas will occur offshore of Veracruz.
Winds will diminish from north to south today. High pressure will
build in the wake of the front, supporting gentle to moderate
winds and slight to moderate seas across the Gulf this afternoon
through early next week.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

Please read the Special Features section regarding a Gale Warning
over the south-central Caribbean near the coast of Colombia.

A robust subtropical ridge over the western Atlantic continues to
dominate the Caribbean Sea. Outside of the south-central
Caribbean, fresh to strong E trade winds prevail across the
eastern, central and SW Caribbean. Moderate to rough seas are
noted in these waters. Moderate to locally fresh NE-E winds and
moderate seas are noted south of 20N in the NW Caribbean, while
light to gentle winds and slight to moderate seas are prevalent in
the rest of the area.

For the forecast, pulsing gale force winds are expected each
night and morning offshore of Colombia as a tight pressure
gradient persists between ridging in the central Atlantic and low
pressure over northwestern Colombia. Very rough seas of 12 to 14
ft are anticipated with these winds. Fresh trades will occur
across the southwestern, central and eastern Caribbean through the
middle of next week, with winds pulsing to fresh speeds in the
northwestern Caribbean by early next week. Pulsing strong winds
are expected in the central Caribbean, as well as through the
Windward Passage and downwind of Hispaniola. Rough seas will
accompany the fresh winds in the southwestern and central
Caribbean. Elsewhere, residual E swell will combine with new N
swell this weekend, leading to locally rough seas near the
Windward and Leeward Islands and through the passages into the
Caribbean through next week. Otherwise, slight to moderate seas
are expected in the northwestern Caribbean.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A stationary front extends from 31N40W to 26N56W, then followed
by a shear line to just north of Hispaniola. The rest of the SW
North Atlantic, west of 55W, is under the influence a strong
subtropical ridge north of the area. The pressure gradient between
the aforementioned high pressure and lower pressures associated
with a cold front moving off the southeastern coast of the United
States is resulting in fresh to strong S winds and moderate to
rough seas north of 28N and west of 70W. Fresh to locally strong E
to SE winds and moderate to rough seas are present in the
remainder of the SW North Atlantic.

The rest of the tropical Atlantic is dominated by a 1033 mb high
pressure system between the Azores and Madeira Islands. The tight
pressure gradient between this ridge and lower pressures in NW
Africa and deep tropics result in fresh to near gale-force N-NE
winds south of a line from 31N22W to 25N55W and east of 55W. These
winds are sustaining rough to locally very rough seas, with the
highest seas occurring north of the Cabo Verde Islands and between
the Canary Islands and Morocco. Moderate to fresh E winds and
moderate to rough seas are evident south of 20N and between 50W
and the Lesser Antilles. In the remainder of the basin, moderate
or weaker winds and moderate seas are prevalent.

For the forecast, a tightening pressure gradient between high
pressure in the central Atlantic and a cold front moving off the
coast of the southeastern United States will support widespread
fresh E to SE winds north of 22N early this morning. Strong S
winds will be possible off the coast of Florida, north of 28.5N,
this morning. The cold front will progress eastward today before
eventually stalling and dissipating this weekend. Winds will
diminish in the aforementioned areas by this afternoon as the
pressure gradient relaxes between the cold front and the ridge.
Elsewhere, fresh to strong E winds and rough seas will prevail
south of 22N through the middle of next week. North of 22N, gentle
to moderate winds and moderate seas are expected for Sun through
early next week.

moderate to isolated strong convection is observed south of 05N
between Africa and NE South America.

GULF OF MEXICO...

A dissipating stationary front extends from central Florida to
25N84W. Elsewhere, a surface trough has been analyzed from 22N98W
in eastern Mexico extending southeastward through the Bay of
Campeche. Moderate NE winds are noted in the region, and isolated
showers are occurring near the trough. Otherwise, a 1024 mb high
is building over the north-central Gulf, supporting gentle to
moderate winds and slight to moderate seas across the remainder of the basin.

For the forecast, high pressure will dominate the Gulf of Mexico
this week, supporting gentle to moderate winds and slight to
moderate seas across the basin.

CARIBBEAN SEA...

Please read the Special Features section regarding a Gale Warning
over the south-central Caribbean near the coast of Colombia.

A 1007 mb low has been analyzed over northwestern Colombia, and
winds are pulsing to gale force just off the coast. Very rough
seas are occurring in tandem with these winds, with peak seas near
14 ft. Widespread moderate to fresh trades and rough seas are
occurring across the southwestern through eastern basin, with
strong winds noted in the central Caribbean including in the Gulf
of Venezuela and downwind of Hispaniola, as well as through the
Windward Passage. Moderate NE winds are noted in the northwestern
basin, where moderate seas are occurring.

For the forecast, winds will pulse to gale force each night and
early morning offshore of Colombia this week, supported by a
strong pressure gradient between low pressure over northwestern
Colombia and high pressure in the western Atlantic. Peak seas in

Caribbean today before fresh to locally strong NE winds develop
tonight, pulsing through this week. Mixed E and NE swell will
support locally rough seas near the Windward and Leeward Islands
as well as the Atlantic passages into the Caribbean through at least midweek.

ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A weak cold front extends from 31N66W to 29N74W, and a stationary
front continues southwestward into central Florida. No convection
is occurring near these fronts. The remainder of the SW North
Atlantic is dominated by broad ridging, supporting moderate to
fresh E trade winds south of 25N and west of 55W. However, strong
E winds are found at the entrance of the Windward Passage. Seas
are 8-11 ft in the areas described. Elsewhere west of 55W,
moderate or weaker winds and moderate seas prevail.

The remainder of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic is under
the influence of a 1033 mb high pressure centered near the
Azores. The tight pressure gradient between this ridge and lower
pressures in NW Africa and deep tropics result in fresh to strong
NE to E winds south of a line from 31N22W to 25N55W and east of
55W. These winds are sustaining rough to locally very rough
seas, with the highest seas occurring north and west of the Cabo
Verde Islands. Moderate to fresh E winds and moderate to rough
seas are evident south of 20N and between 55W and the Lesser
Antilles. In the rest of the basin, moderate or weaker winds and

imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.

Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1020 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Caribbean Gale Warning: A strong ridge north of the area will
continue to support fresh to strong easterly trade winds across
the south-central Caribbean. Winds will pulse to gale-force each
night offshore of Colombia this week. Peak seas to 12 ft are
expected with these winds in the SW Caribbean offshore waters
between Panama and Colombia.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of
Sierra Leone near 08N13W and continues southwestward to near
02N27W. The ITCZ extends from 02N27W to 00N50W. Scattered
moderate isolated strong convection is present from 02S to 04N
between 28W and 50W. Scattered moderate convection is elsewhere
from 04S to 07N between 10W and 28W.

GULF OF MEXICO...

Surface ridging associated with a 1023 mb high pressure located
just S of the Florida Panhandle is the dominant feature in the
basin. This is supporting gentle to moderate E winds E of 94W and
S winds of the same magnitude W of 94W and N of 22N. In the Bay
of Campeche, a surface trough supports moderate winds. Slight seas
are basin-wide. Otherwise, isolated showers are ongoing in the NW
Gulf N of Tampico and in the Yucatan Channel.

For the forecast, high pressure will dominate the Gulf of Mexico
this week, supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight
to moderate seas across the basin. Moderate to fresh winds are
forecast at night N of the Yucatan Peninsuala and in the Bay of
Campeche as a surface trough develops in the Peninsula and moves
westward towards the coastal waters of Tampico and Veracruz.

CARIBBEAN SEA...

Please read the Special Features section regarding a Gale Warning
near the coast of Colombia.

Aside from the gale-force winds off NW Colombia, the strong ridge
located north of the area continues to support fresh to strong
easterly trade winds in the eastern, north-central and SW
Caribbean Sea, including the Windward Passage. These winds
sustain moderate to rough seas in these waters. Moderate to fresh
NE winds and slight to moderate seas prevail in the NW Caribbean,
except for gentle to moderate winds W of 82W. Otherwise, isolated
showers are ongoing in the NW Caribbean and the Yucatan Channel.

For the forecast, winds will pulse to gale force each night
offshore of Colombia this week, supported by a tight pressure
gradient between low pressure over NW Colombia and predominant
high pressure in the western Atlantic. Peak seas to 12 ft are
expected with these winds in the SW Caribbean offshore waters
between Panama and Colombia. Expect moderate to fresh trades and
moderate to rough seas across the eastern, central and SW
Caribbean through the week, with winds pulsing to strong speeds in
the central Caribbean, through the Windward Passage, in the Gulf
of Venezuela and downwind of Hispaniola. Moderate to fresh NE
winds will prevail in the NW Caribbean through the week.
Otherwise, E swell will support locally rough seas near the
Windward and Leeward Islands as well as the Atlantic passages into
the Caribbean through Wed. East swell will resume and support
rough seas across the Leeward Islands offshore zones Thu into Sat.

ATLANTIC OCEAN...

The SW North Atlantic is dominated by surface ridging associated
with a 1033 mb high pressure system located just south of Nova
Scotia. The remnants of a former stationary front are analyzed as
a surface trough that extends from 31N62W SW to 28N74W. Moderate
NE winds and mainly moderate seas are in the vicinity of this
trough across the northern offshore waters between 55W and 68W.
Another surface trough is along the Florida seaboard. The
pressure gradient between the strong ridge and lower pressures in
the deep tropics result in strong NE to E winds in the approaches
of the Windward Passage and moderate to fresh NE to E winds S of
24N. These winds along with E swell support 5-7 ft seas in the
area. Elsewhere west of 55W, light to gentle winds and moderate
seas are prevalent.

The rest of the tropical Atlantic is under the influence of an
expansive subtropical ridge positioned between the Azores and
Madeira Islands. This strong ridge continue to support fresh to
locally strong NE to E winds across much of the central and
eastern Atlantic, especially south of 27N. Seas in these waters are 8-12 ft.

For the forecast W of 55W, the remnants of the stationary front,
analyzed as a surface trough will dissipate this evening. The
surface trough along the Florida seaboard will dissipate late
today. Surface high pressure and associated ridging will dominate
the region the remainder week with the tail of a cold front
possibly clipping the northern offshore waters tonight through
Wed. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds are forecast to prevail S of
24N through the week, except for locally strong winds in the
approaches of the Windward Passage. Otherwise, rough seas in E to
NE swell will develop across the offshore waters E of 70W and S of
24N late Thu into early in the weekend.

imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.

Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1040 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Caribbean Gale Warning: A strong ridge north of the area will
continue to support fresh to strong trade winds across the south-
central Caribbean. Winds will pulse to gale-force each night
offshore of Colombia through the remainder of the week. Peak seas
with these winds are expected to be at or near 12 ft.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough axis enters the Atlantic through the coast of
Sierra Leone near 07N12W and continues southwestward to near
05N16W. The ITCZ extends from 05N16W to 00N30W to 02N38W to 00N45W.
Scattered moderate convection is ongoing from 01N to 06N between
10W and 24W, and from 05S to 05N between 22W and 33W.

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A broad surface ridge extends basin-wide from a 1022 mb high
pressure centered just south of the Florida Big Bend, which is
supporting gentle to locally moderate winds across the basin.
Areas of locally moderate winds include the Yucatan Peninsula and
NW Cuba adjacent waters, and the Bay of Campeche. Seas are
generally slight, except moderate over the Bay of Campeche. Middle
level divergence is supporting scattered showers across the
central and SW Gulf. Otherwise, dense fog prevail across the
northern and SE Gulf offshore waters.

For the forecast, high pressure will dominate the Gulf of Mexico
this week, supporting mainly gentle to moderate winds and slight
to moderate seas across the basin. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds
are forecast at night north of the Yucatan Peninsula and in the
Bay of Campeche as a surface trough develops over the Peninsula
and moves westward towards Tampico and Veracruz diurnally.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

Please read the Special Features section for information on
expected gale-force winds near the coast of Colombia.

Aside from the occurrence of gale-force winds off northwestern
Colombia, the gradient between strong high pressure north of the
area and relatively lower pressure present in the southwestern
Caribbean and in Colombia continues to allow for fresh to strong
trade winds in the central, north-central and in the
southwestern Caribbean Sea, including the Windward Passage.
These winds sustain moderate to rough seas in these waters.
Moderate to fresh northeast to east winds along with seas of
mostly 4 to 6 ft are over the northwestern and eastern Caribbean.

For the forecast, northeast strong trades will pulse to gale
force each night with rough seas offshore of Colombia this week,
supported by a tight pressure gradient between low pressure over
NW Colombia and the Bermuda High. NE to E trades will be fresh to
strong in the central Caribbean, through the Windward Passage, in
the Gulf of Venezuela, and downwind of Hispaniola and Cuba.
Otherwise, E swell will support locally rough seas near the
Windward and Leeward Islands as well as the Atlantic passages into
the Caribbean before diminishing tonight. Large E swell will
resume across the Leeward Islands offshore zones Thu into at least Sat night.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

The subtropical Atlantic waters are under the influence of the
Bermuda-Azores High, which is supporting light to gentle winds and
moderate seas over the western and central waters N of 25N. Over
the eastern subtropical waters, a tighter pressure is leading to
fresh to locally strong NE to E winds and rough seas to 11 ft,
strongest in the vicinity of the Cape Verde Islands. Moderate to
fresh trades and rough seas to 10 ft are elsewhere across the
tropical Atlantic waters.

For the forecast west of 55W, the Bermuda-Azores High north of
the region will promote generally moderate or weaker winds across
the offshore waters for the next several days, except for fresh to
strong NE winds across the approach to the Windward Passage.
Otherwise, rough seas in E swell should develop across the
offshore waters east of 70W and south of 24N late Thu through at
least Sat night.

off Cedar Key, Florida near 29N83W extends basin-wide. A surface
trough prevails over the eastern Bay of Campeche producing
isolated showers, and supporting moderate winds. A tighter
pressure gradient over the SE Gulf is also supporting moderate E
to SE winds through the Florida Straits and the Yucatan Channel.
Seas across the basin are slight, except moderate over NW Cuba
adjacent waters.

For the forecast, fresh to locally strong NE to E winds will
occur each afternoon and evening offshore of the Yucatan Peninsula
and through the Florida Straits as a surface trough develops over
the Yucatan Peninsula daily and moves westward towards Tampico
and Veracruz. Otherwise, high pressure over the remainder of the
basin will support gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate
seas through early next week.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

See the Special Feature Section for details on an ongoing Gale
Warning off the coast of Colombia.

A broad subtropical ridge north of the area is supporting fresh
to strong NE to E winds across the central and southwest
Caribbean, the lee of Cuba and Hispaniola, and the Windward
Passage. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds prevail elsewhere along
with moderate seas.

For the forecast, winds will pulse to gale force each night and
early morning offshore of Colombia as a strong pressure gradient
prevails between high pressure over the western Atlantic and low
pressure over northwestern Colombia. Locally rough seas will be
possible near and to the west of the strongest winds. Fresh E to
NE trade winds and rough seas are expected across the remainder
southwestern and central Caribbean through early next week, with
winds pulsing to strong speeds through the Windward Passage, in
the Gulf of Venezuela, downwind of Hispaniola and in the lee of
Cuba. Moderate to locally fresh NE winds will occur across the
remainder of the basin. East swell developing today will lead to
rough seas near the Windward and Leeward Islands and their
passages into the eastern Caribbean Sea through Mon night.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

Surface ridging prevails over the western and eastern subtropical
Atlantic waters while the tail of a cold front continues to move
eastward over the central Atlantic. The front extends from 31N52W
to 27N61W. A surface trough is ahead of the front from 30N49W to
25N57W with isolated showers. Moderate to fresh NE to E winds are
ongoing behind the front between 55W to 72W with mainly moderate
seas. Winds of same magnitude and direction are also ongoing over
the subtropical waters E of 30W where rough seas to 9 ft are
present. Otherwise, moderate to fresh NE to E winds are across the
tropical Atlantic with locally strong NE winds just west of the
Cape Verde Islands. Seas over the tropics are 8 to 9 ft.

For the forecast west of 55W, moderate to fresh E trade winds
will prevail south of 25N through Mon night. An increasing
pressure gradient due to building high pressure in the western
Atlantic will support moderate to fresh NE winds north of 25N and
east of 70W through Fri morning. Winds will diminish in this
region thereafter, with gentle to moderate winds continuing into
early next week. Developing east swell will lead to rough seas NE
of the Leeward Islands and NE of Puerto Rico this evening through Sun.

seas are found across the southern Gulf. Patchy fog is reducing
visibility over coastal waters within 90 nm of the U.S. shore.

For the forecast, high pressure centered NE of the area will
dominate much of the week, but gradually move east, allowing a
cold front to enter the NW Gulf late this week. Southerly winds
will increase ahead of this front, with some locally strong winds
possible in the central Gulf.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

Please read the Special Feature Section about a Gale Warning in
effect offshore Colombia.

A broad surface ridge with an axis roughly along 31N is sustaining
a trade-wind pattern across the basin. Fresh to strong ENE winds
and 7 to 10 ft seas are noted in the central and eastern basin, as
well as in the Windward Passage. Mainly moderate E winds with seas
of 4 to 7 ft dominate the western basin.

For the forecast, fresh E to NE trade winds and rough seas are
expected across the southwestern and central Caribbean into the
weekend, with winds pulsing to strong speeds through the Windward
Passage, in the Gulf of Venezuela, and S of Hispaniola. Moderate
to locally fresh NE winds will prevail across the remainder of the
basin. East swell will bring rough seas near the Windward and
Leeward Islands and their passages into the eastern Caribbean Sea
through the week.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A cold front has devolved into a surface trough in the eastern
Atlantic that stretches from 31N19W to 28N22W this morning. A
broad high pressure, anchored by a 1026 mb center near 33N39W,
extending W along 31N, is dominating most of the basin, supporting
light to gentle winds and seas of 4 to 7 ft for waters N of 26N.
To the south, an expansive trade-wind regime dominates, with
mainly fresh ENE winds and seas of 6 to 9 ft.

For the forecast W of 55W, moderate to fresh trade winds will
prevail south of 25N into the weekend. Elsewhere, gentle to
moderate winds will prevail through late week. East swell will
bring rough seas NE of the Leeward Islands and NE of Puerto Rico
through the weekend.

Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1215 UTC Tue Feb 11 2025

Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of Mexico, 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1000 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Caribbean Gale Warning:
A tight pressure gradient between high pressure centered N of the
basin and lower pressure over northwestern Colombia will continue
to support strong to near-gale winds at the south- central
Caribbean through Friday. These winds are expected to peak at
gale- force during the nighttime and early morning hours offshore
of Barranquilla, Colombia. Seas will peak at 11 to 13 ft near the
highest winds.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

A monsoon trough enters the Atlantic Ocean through the coast of
Sierra Leone near Freetown, then extends southwestward to 03N16W.
An ITCZ meanders westward from 03N16W to 00N42W. Scattered
moderate to isolated strong convection is noted up to 180 nm along
either side of the ITCZ.

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A stationary front extends from near Pensacola, Florida, to New
Orleans, Louisiana, to near Galveston Bay. Convection associated
with this front has diminished early this morning, but patchy fog
is restricting visibility within about 90 nm S of the boundary.
Elsewhere, ridging from a 1022 mb high pressure center N of the
Bahamas is leading to mainly moderate SE winds and 2 to 4 ft seas
throughout the basin.

For the forecast, a cold front will enter the NW Gulf Wed night,
then stall from the Bay of Campeche to near the Florida Big Bend
Fri. Southerly winds will increase ahead of the front in the
central Gulf Wed. Strong to near gale force winds are expected
behind the front, possibly reaching minimal gale force off
Tampico, Mexico briefly Thu evening.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

Please refer to the Special Feature section for information on a
Gale Warning offshore Colombia.

The Atlantic Ridge oriented along 28N is sustaining a trade-wind
regime across the Caribbean Basin. Outside the Gale Warning area,
strong ENE winds and seas of 9 to 11 ft are evident in the central
basin. Fresh with locally strong NE to ENE winds and 6 to 9 ft
seas are noted across eastern basin, as well as the Windward and
Mona passages. Moderate to fresh ENE winds and seas at 3 to 6 ft
dominate the western basin.

For the forecast, fresh E to NE trade winds and rough seas are
expected across the remainder southwestern and central Caribbean
into the weekend, with winds pulsing to strong speeds through the
Windward Passage, in the Gulf of Venezuela, and S of Hispaniola.
As the high pressure to the north builds southeast for the latter
half of the week, strong winds and rough seas will expand to
include much of the eastern Caribbean.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A surface ridge extends west-southwestward from the northeastern
Atlantic across 31N37W and a 1025 mb high near 28N56W to a 1022
mb high north of the Bahamas. Light to gentle winds with 3 to 6 ft
seas in mixed moderate swells are found north of 25N. Farther
south, mainly fresh ENE winds and seas of 7 to 10 ft exist.

For the forecast W of 55W, fresh to locally strong trade winds
will prevail south of 25N through the weekend. Gentle to moderate
winds will prevail N of 25N until Fri, when a cold front will
slide south of 30N to the W of 70W, bringing fresh to strong NE
winds behind it. Easterly swell and waves from the aforementioned
trade winds will lead to rough seas S of 22N through the weekend.

1215 UTC Wed Feb 12 2025

Tropical Weather Discussion for North America, Central America
Gulf of Mexico, 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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 1000 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Caribbean Gale Warning: The tight pressure gradient between a 1027
mb high pressure system near Bermuda and lower pressures in
northern Colombia is resulting in pulsing winds to gale force
each night and early morning offshore of Colombia. This is
expected to continue through early Fri morning. Rough to very
rough seas are forecast with these winds, peaking near 14 ft
during the highest winds. Winds and seas will diminish somewhat
during the weekend.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough reaches the eastern Atlantic through the coast
of Guinea-Bissau near 12N16W and continues southwestward to
03N24W. The ITCZ extends from 03N24W to 00N37W and to 00N50W.
Scattered moderate convection is observed south of 05N and
between 22W and 42W.

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A frontal boundary over the far NW Gulf is now retreating N as a
warm front, noted early this morning from SE Louisiana to the
upper Texas coast. Convection associated with this feature has
moved well inland. Elsewhere, a ridge over the western Atlantic
continues to influence the weather conditions in the Gulf of
Mexico. The pressure gradient between this ridge and lower
pressures in Mexico and southern Texas support fresh southerly
winds over much of the basin. These winds are sustaining seas of 3-6 ft.

For the forecast, a cold front will enter the NW Gulf late tonight,
then stall from just N of Tampa Bay to near Veracruz, Mexico by
Fri night. Strong S winds are expected ahead of this front into
tonight, mainly in the central Gulf. Strong to near gale force
winds are expected behind the front in the western Gulf. Looking
ahead, the next cold front is expected to enter the NW Gulf early
Sun and move SE across the basin by Mon evening. Strong to near
gale force N winds will also follow this front in the western Gulf.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

A Gale Warning remains in effect off the coast of Colombia. Please,
read the Special Feature Section for details.
The basin remains under the dominion of a broad subtropical ridge
positioned over the central and western Atlantic. The pressure
gradient between this ridge and the Colombian low forces fresh to
strong winds across the central and eastern Caribbean, including
the Windward Passage. Seas in these waters are 6-10 ft. Moderate
to locally fresh easterly winds and moderate seas are noted in the
rest of the Caribbean.

For the forecast, the pressure gradient between a high pressure
ridge across the western Atlantic along 28N and low pressure over
northwestern Colombia will support strong trade winds across the
central Caribbean pulsing to gale force each night and early
morning near the coast of NW Colombia through Thu night. Rough to
very rough seas are expected near and to the west of the highest
winds. Fresh E to NE trade winds and rough seas are expected
across the remainder of southwestern and central Caribbean into
the weekend, with winds pulsing to strong speeds through the
Windward Passage, in the Gulf of Venezuela, and S of Hispaniola.
Atlantic high pressure will move to near 55W early Thu through
Fri, briefly shifting the zone of strong trade winds and rough
seas across the eastern Caribbean and Tropical North Atlantic
waters. Looking ahead, Atlantic high pressure will begin to shift
eastward Mon and Tue, leading to decreasing winds and seas across the basin.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A weak cold front is sagging just S of 30N from 50W to 70W.
Otherwise, the basin is dominated by a broad subtropical ridge.
Fresh to locally strong easterly trade winds are present south of
25N and west of 55W. Seas in the area described are 6-9 ft.
Moderate to fresh southerly winds and moderate seas are noted west
of 75W and north of 25N.

The subtropical ridge is also forcing fresh to strong NE-E trade
winds south of 23N and between Africa and the Lesser Antilles.
Wave heights in these waters are in the 7 to 10 ft range. The
strongest winds and highest seas are found west of 50W and south
of 20N. Elsewhere in the basin, moderate or weaker winds and
moderate seas are prevalent.

For the forecast W of 55W, fresh to locally strong trade winds
will prevail south of 25N through the weekend as the Atlantic
ridge persists along 28N-29N. Associated easterly swell will also
lead to rough seas S of 22N through the weekend. Gentle to
moderate winds will prevail N of 25N until Thu, when a cold front
will move into the NW waters, south of 30N and to the W of 70W,
bringing fresh to strong NE winds behind it. The front is expected
to move eastward into the weekend, and stall E to W along 26N on
Sat. The next front will exit the SE U.S. Sun night and reach from
near Bermuda to the NW Bahamas Mon afternoon.

offshore of Colombia tonight and Mon night. Seas will build to 14
ft with the strongest winds.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Africa
near 11N15W and continues to 03N11W. The ITCZ extends from 03N11W
to 03S41W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 00N to 05N
between 13W and 33W.

...GULF OF MEXICO...

Surface ridging dominates the basin, anchored by a 1021 mb high
centered over the NE Gulf. A surface trough is analyzed just off
the west coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. The pressure gradient
between these features is supporting moderate to fresh winds, and
seas of 4-6 ft, off the west and NW coast of the Yucatan. Light to
gentle winds, and seas of 2 ft or less, are in the vicinity of the
high pressure. Gentle to moderate winds, and seas of 2-4 ft,
prevail elsewhere.

For the forecast, high pressure will prevail over the Gulf,
supporting moderate to locally fresh S to SE winds over the
western and central Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds in the
eastern basin into early this week. A surface trough will develop
over the Yucatan Peninsula and move into the Bay of Campeche
nightly through early this week, supporting pulses of fresh to
strong winds over adjacent waters. The next cold front may enter
the northern basin late Mon, but will likely dissipate as it moves
into the central and eastern Gulf through Tue night. High
pressure building over the northeastern Gulf in the wake of the
front will support moderate to fresh SE winds and building seas
across the northwest Gulf by Thu.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

A Gale Warning remains in effect offshore Colombia. Please, refer
to the Special Features section above for more information.

Outside of the gale area, fresh to near- gale winds prevail over
the south central Caribbean, with seas in the 7-10 ft range. Fresh
to strong winds are elsewhere S of 15N and E of 80W, with seas in
the 5-8 ft range. Moderate to fresh winds, and seas of 4-7 ft, are
elsewhere E of 80W. W of 80W, gentle to moderate winds, and seas
of 2-4 ft, prevail.

For the forecast, fresh to strong E to NE winds offshore of
Colombia and Venezuela will pulse to gale force offshore of
Colombia tonight and Mon night. Fresh to occasionally strong NE
winds will pulse in the Windward Passage into early this week.
Fresh to strong SE winds will extend across the Gulf of Honduras
tonight through the middle of the week.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

A trough extends over the central Atlantic waters from 30N55W to
24N78W. Moderate to locally rough seas are west of the trough to
near 65W. Light to gentle winds, and seas of 4-6 ft are elsewhere
W of 50W. High pressure dominates the remainder of the discussion
waters. Fresh to strong winds, and rough to very rough seas, are N
of 15N and E of 28W. Moderate to locally fresh winds, and
moderate seas, prevail elsewhere.

For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure will build over the
western Atlantic, supporting gentle breezes and slight to moderate
seas north of 22N into early this week. The area of high pressure
will shift eastward Mon enabling a weak cold front to move off
the northeast Florida coast Mon night. Fresh to strong winds may
pulse off the northern coast of Hispaniola through mid week.
Another front may move into waters between northeast Florida and
Bermuda Wed.

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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through 0830 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Caribbean Gale Warning: Strong to gale force winds are pulsing off
the coast of Colombia, with seas peaking near 13 ft. Winds and
seas will decrease this morning, then pulse to gale force
offshore of Colombia again tonight. Winds will then pulse to near
gale force at night through Fri.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic near 09N13W and continues
SW to 06N19W. The ITCZ continues from 06N19W to 00N50W. Scattered
moderate convection is noted from 00N to 04N between 23W and 47W.

...GULF OF MEXICO...

A surface trough extends across the W Gulf, with weak high
pressure over the NE Gulf. The pressure gradient between these
features is supporting moderate to fresh winds, and seas of 4-5
ft, N and W of the Yucatan peninsula. Light to gentle winds, and
seas of 2-4 ft prevail elsewhere.

For the forecast, high pressure across the basin will generally
support light to gentle SE to S winds over the western and central
Gulf, and gentle to moderate winds over the eastern part of the
basin into Wed. A surface trough will develop over the Yucatan
Peninsula and move into the Bay of Campeche nightly through early
this week, supporting pulses of fresh to locally strong winds over
adjacent waters. A cold front will skirt the NE Gulf early today.
High pressure building into the basin in its wake will lead to
moderate to fresh southeast winds and building seas across the NW
Gulf by Thu.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

A Gale Warning is in effect offshore Colombia. Please, refer to
the Special Features section above for more information.

Aside from the area of gale force winds, fresh to strong winds
prevail over the central Caribbean, with seas in the 8-11 ft
range. Fresh winds, and seas of 7-9 ft, are over the eastern
Caribbean. Fresh to strong winds, and seas of 6-7 ft, are found in
the Gulf of Honduras. Gentle to moderate winds, and seas of 4-6
ft, prevail elsewhere over the western Caribbean.

For the forecast, fresh to strong E to NE winds offshore of
Colombia and Venezuela will pulse to gale force offshore of
Colombia tonight. These winds will then pulse to near gale force
at night through Fri. Fresh to strong winds in the Gulf of
Honduras will diminish today.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

High pressure dominates the Atlantic discussion waters. Fresh to
strong winds prevail over the far eastern Atlantic waters west of
Africa to near 25W, where seas are in the 8-11 ft range. Moderate
to fresh winds, and seas of 4-7 ft are elsewhere N of 20N. Fresh
to locally strong winds, and seas of 7-8 ft, prevail S of 20N.

For the forecast west of 55W, high pressure over the western
Atlantic will support gentle breezes and slight to moderate seas
north of 22N through Wed. The area of high pressure will shift
eastward enabling a weak cold front to move off the northeast
Florida coast early today before dissipating. Fresh to locally
strong winds are likely to pulse off the northern coast of
Hispaniola into Wed. Another cold front may move into waters
between northeast Florida and Bermuda Wed. High pressure will
build in the wake of the front, bringing an increase in winds
across much of the waters S of 28N by the end of the week.
