1215 UTC SUN JUN 8 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 0600 UTC SURFACE ANALYSIS AND SATELLITE IMAGERY THROUGH
1030 UTC.
..TROPICAL WAVES
A CENTRAL ATLANTIC TROPICAL WAVE AXIS IS ANALYZED ALONG 54W FROM
FRENCH GUINEA TO 11N. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE
ALONG THE WAVE AXIS, WEST OF THE WAVE TO SURINAME, AND EAST OF THE
WAVE OVER NORTHERN BRAZIL.
..MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ
THE MONSOON TROUGH ENTERS THE ATLANTIC NEAR 12N16W AND CONTINUES
SOUTHWESTWARD TO 09N21W, WHERE IT TRANSITIONS INTO THE ITCZ AND
EXTENDS FROM 09N21W TO 04N50W. SCATTERED MODERATE CONVECTION IS
NOTED WITHIN 90 NM NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE ITCZ.
..GULF OF AMERICA
SURFACE RIDGING CONTINUES TO EXTEND WESTWARD FROM THE ATLANTIC TO
ACROSS FLORIDA AND THE CENTRAL GULF WATERS. A SURFACE TROUGH IS
ANALYZED OVER THE BAY OF CAMPECHE. GENTLE TO MODERATE
ANTICYCLONIC WINDS PREVAIL E OF 90W, WHILE MODERATE TO FRESH SE
WINDS ARE NOTED W OF 90W. MODERATE SEAS COVER THE WHOLE BASIN.
FOR THE FORECAST, ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO EXTEND
ITS RIDGE INTO THE EASTERN GULF THROUGH TODAY, THEN BUILD MODESTLY
WESTWARD INTO THE CENTRAL GULF THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.
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, WITH
MODERATE TO FRESH SE WINDS ELSEWHERE IN THE WESTERN AND SOUTH-
CENTRAL GULF.
..CARIBBEAN SEA
THE PRESSURE GRADIENT BETWEEN CENTRAL ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE AND
RELATIVELY LOWER PRESSURES IN SOUTH AMERICA, IS SUPPORTING FRESH
TO STRONG TRADES OVER THE SOUTH-CENTRAL CARIBBEAN AND THE GULF OF
VENEZUELA. MODERATE TO FRESH TRADES PREVAIL ELSEWHERE IN THE
CENTRAL BASIN ALONG WITH MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS. GENTLE TO
MODERATE TRADES AND MODERATE SEAS PREVAIL IN THE EASTERN AND
WESTERN CARIBBEAN. NUMEROUS MODERATE TO ISOLATED STRONG CONVECTION
IS EVIDENT SOUTH OF 17N AND WEST OF 80W, AFFECTING THE COASTS OF
HONDURAS AND NICARAGUA.
FOR THE FORECAST, HIGH PRESSURE N OF THE REGION WILL PREVAIL
THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. THIS PATTERN WILL LEAD TO FRESH TO
STRONG TRADES AND MODERATE TO ROUGH SEAS ACROSS MOST OF THE
CENTRAL BASIN, SPREADING WESTWARD THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK,
EXCEPT IN THE SW CARIBBEAN WHERE WINDS WILL BE WEAKER. MODERATE
TO FRESH WINDS WILL PREVAIL ELSEWHERE. SEAS WILL BUILD TO ROUGH
WITH THE INCREASING WINDS, AS WELL AS IN THE TROPICAL N ATLANTIC
BY EARLY NEXT WEEK THROUGH AT LEAST MID-WEEK.
OF NOTE: A POTENTIAL FOR SIGNIFICANT RAIN CONTINUES INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK ACROSS EASTERN NICARAGUA AND POSSIBLY INTO NORTHEAST
HONDURAS AS UNSETTLED WEATHER IS FORECAST TO DEVELOP ACROSS THE
AREA. UNCERTAINTY IN TERMS OF RAINFALL AMOUNTS IS HIGH AT THIS
TIME. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL METEOROLOGICAL OFFICE FOR MORE
DETAILS.
..ATLANTIC OCEAN
A TROPICAL WAVE IS ANALYZED OVER THE BASIN. REFER TO THE SECTION
ABOVE FOR DETAILS.
FO THE WESTERN ATLANTIC, MODERATE TO FRESH S TO SW WINDS ARE
NOTED NORTH OF 27N AND WEST OF 65W DUE TO A SOMEWHAT TIDE
PRESSURE GRADIENT OVER THE AREA. THE TROPICAL ATLANTIC IS
DOMINATED BY HIGH PRESSURE OF 1029 MB CENTERED NEAR THE AZORES.
GENTLE TO MODERATE TRADES AND MODERATE SEAS PREVAIL NORTH OF 20N.
SOUTH OF 20N, MODERATE TO FRESH TRADES PREVAIL.
FOR THE FORECAST WEST OF 55W, ATLANTIC HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD MODESTLY
W-SW INTO THE BAHAMAS AND S FLORIDA THROUGH TUE, THEN WEAKEN
SLIGHTLY BY MID-WEEK. EXPECT FRESH TO STRONG WINDS TO PULSE EACH
AFTERNOON AND EVENING OFFSHORE OF HISPANIOLA EARLY NEXT WEEK, WITH
PULSING MODERATE TO FRESH WINDS OFF NE FLORIDA AND ELSEWHERE
SOUTH OF 22N. THESE WINDS WILL WEAKEN SOMEWHAT MID-WEEK AS THE
HIGH WEAKENS.
