Special Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
955 AM EST Tue Dec 1 2020
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
A gale-force, non-tropical low pressure system is centered between
the Madeira Islands and the Azores. This system has become less
organized during the past 24 hours, and environmental conditions are
expected to become less conducive for development as the system
moves southwestward during the next day or two. Although
subtropical development is now unlikely, this system will continue
to produce strong winds and locally heavy rains in the Madeira
Islands and the Azores through Wednesday. Additional information on
this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by Meteo
France.
This will be the last Special Tropical Weather Outlook issued on
this system. Regularly scheduled Tropical Weather Outlooks will
resume on June 1, 2021, while Special Tropical Weather Outlooks will
be issued as necessary during the off-season.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent.

Tropical Weather Discussion
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
0605 UTC Sun Apr 11 2021
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 32N. The following information is based on satellite
imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.
Based on 0000 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
0440 UTC.
...SPECIAL FEATURES...
East Atlantic Gale Warning: A recent ASCAT pass from around
09/2200 UTC shows gale force SW winds from 28N-31N between
30.5W-33W. These gales are occurring on the SE side of a large
990 mb low pressure system centered near 36N45W. Seas are likely
11-14 ft in the area of gale force winds. The MeteoFrance
forecast indicates that the winds there will diminish below gale
force soon.
Windward Islands Ashfall Advisory: La Soufriere volcano on the
island of Saint Vincent near 13.3N 61.2W continues to undergo
major eruptions. Satellite imagery shows the volcanic ash plume
spreading well to the east and northeast of St. Vincent, roughly
in an area from 10N-17N between 40W-62W, which includes
Barbados. Violent volcanic eruptions may occur suddenly without
warning. Volcanic ash may be reaching the ocean surface
east-northeast of St. Vincent. Mariners should exercise caution,
and report volcanic ash or floating debris to the National
Weather Service by calling 305-229-4424.
...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
The monsoon trough extends southward from the coast of
Guinea-Bissau near 12N16W to 04N23W. The ITCZ continues from
04N23W to 02N35W to 01N48W. Isolated moderate convection is seen
from 04S-04N between 18W-39W. Scattered moderate convection is
noted from 05N-08N between 45W-57W.
GULF OF MEXICO...
A cluster of strong thunderstorms is located from 23N-26N
between 81W-85W, including portions of the Florida Keys, as of
11/0400 UTC. Wind gusts to 35 kt and frequent lightning are
occurring. These storms are likely to weaken significantly
within the next couple of hours, by 11/0700 UTC. A new cluster
of strong to severe thunderstorms is expected to develop south
of the Florida Panhandle around sunrise this morning. Expect
these storms to persist over the NE Gulf of Mexico through the
morning hours and into the afternoon, mainly north of 27N and
east of 88W. The main hazards associated with these storms are
likely to be wind gusts of 35-45 kt and frequent lightning. The
storms will propagate toward the E-SE during the day.
Elsewhere over the Gulf, a stationary front currently extends
from Lafayette Louisiana to Brownsville Texas. A surface trough
is from 29N91W to a 1002 mb low near 21N96W. Scattered showers
are seen from 26N-28N between 88W-92W. A recent ASCAT pass shows
fresh E-SE winds over the east-central Gulf, with gentle to
moderate winds elsewhere. Seas are 3-6 ft across the basin.
Fresh southerly winds will prevail across the most of the basin
this morning to the east of the stationary front. The front will
move E as a cold front later today, then will stall again and
weaken from the Florida panhandle to northern Mexico by Sun
night.
CARIBBEAN SEA...
See the Special Features section above for details on an Ashfall
Advisory issued for ongoing volcanic eruptions on St. Vincent.
A recent ASCAT pass shows that fresh trades are occurring over
most of the Caribbean Sea. Similar wind speeds will persist
through the weekend. Seas are 3 to 6 ft. Scattered moderate
thunderstorms are seen over NW Honduras and the Gulf of
Honduras. No major precipitation areas are seen elsewhere over
the basin.
ATLANTIC OCEAN...
See the Special Features section above for details on an Ashfall
Advisory issued for ongoing volcanic eruptions on St. Vincent.
A line of scattered moderate showers and tstorms is weakening
early this morning to the east of Florida as it moves eastward,
from 26.5N-32N between 76W-79W. A recent ASCAT pass shows fresh
to locally strong S winds occurring with these storms. A second
cluster of showers and storms extends from the Dry Tortugas to
Miami. This cluster will also weaken significantly during the
next couple of hours. A third cluster of strong to severe
tstorms is expected to develop in the NE Gulf of Mexico this
morning. The storms will cross Florida and move into the
Atlantic this afternoon. Expect wind gusts of 35-45 kt and
frequent lightning this afternoon, especially in the waters
extending offshore between Daytona Beach and West Palm Beach
Florida. Outside of the thunderstorms, expect fresh southerly
winds in the Bahamas and east of Florida today as a cold front
approaches the western Atlantic. The front will move across
Florida on Mon, then extend from 30N60W to 21N75W on Tue. Seas
will build to 8 to 9 ft in the vicinity of the front.
A large occluded gale-force low pressure system north of the
area centered near 36N45W is producing a large area of strong
westerly winds north of 26N between 30W-58W. Seas are 11-16 ft
in this area. Northerly swell from this system, with seas in
excess of 8 ft, is affecting most of the central Atlantic north
of 21N between 26W-63W.
A 1019 mb high is centered near 30N69W. Gentle anticyclonic
winds are found between 63W-72W. A surface trough extends over
the central Atlantic from 25N37W to 16N53W. Upper-level
diffluence to the east of the northeastern portion of the
surface trough is enhancing scattered moderate showers and
isolated tstorms from 20N-32N between 20W-40W. A 1018 mb high is
centered near the Canary Islands.
