391 AXNT20 KNHC 301001 TWDAT Tropical Weather Discussion NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL 1215 UTC Mon Jun 30 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 0930 UTC. ...SPECIAL FEATURES... Barry is dissipating over Tamaulipas, Mexico, this morning. The remnants Of Barry is centered near 23.0N 99.2W at 30/0900 UTC or 90 nm NW of Tampico Mexico, moving NW at 10 kt. Estimated minimum central pressure is 1008 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 25 kt with gusts to 35 kt. Scattered moderate convection continues over Gulf waters S of 28N and W of 92W. The remnants of Barry may still produce additional rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches, with localized amounts in excess of 8 inches, across the Mexican states of San Luis Potosi and Tamaulipas today. This may lead to life- threatening flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain. Please read the latest HIGH SEAS FORECAST issued by the National Hurricane Center at website- https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/MIAHSFAT2.shtml and the latest Barry NHC Forecast/Advisory and Public Advisory at www.hurricanes.gov for more details. ...TROPICAL WAVES... An eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 24W, from the Cabo Verde Islands southward, moving westward around 10 kt. Scattered moderate to isolated strong convection is observed from 06N to 12N and between 21W and 28W. Another eastern Atlantic tropical wave is along 38W, south of 16N, moving westward around 15 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 06N to 12N and between 30W and 40W. An Atlantic tropical wave is approaching the Lesser Antilles along 59W, south of 15W, moving W at around 10 kt. No significant convection is evident along the trough axis. A central Caribbean tropical wave is along 74W from Hispaniola to Colombia, moving W at around 20 kt. Scattered moderate convection is noted within 60 nm of the wave axis. ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ... The monsoon trough enters the Atlantic through the coast of Guinea-Bissau near 13N16W to 10N30W and to 06N42W. The ITCZ extends from 06N42W to 04N52W. Scattered moderate convection is noted from 04N to 08N between 42W and 46W. ...GULF OF AMERICA... Please read the SPECIAL FEATURES section for information on the Remnants of Barry located over Tamaulipas, Mexico. Outside of the influence of Barry, land breeze impacts has broad a band of scattered convection offshore the northeastern Gulf coast from near the Mississippi River to Tampa Bay. Otherwise, mainly dry conditions prevail under week ridging. Light to gentle winds dominate the NE Gulf, with mainly moderate SE winds elsewhere. Seas are less than 3 ft in the NE Gulf and 3 to 5 ft elsewhere. For the forecast, winds and seas in association with Barry will quickly diminish this morning. Otherwise, by the end of the week, a weak cold front is forecast to stall in the northern Gulf. ...CARIBBEAN SEA... A tropical wave is moving across the central Caribbean. Please see the TROPICAL WAVES section for more information. A broad subtropical ridge centered north of the Caribbean Sea is forcing fresh to strong easterly trade winds over much of the basin, with localized near-gale force winds offshore NW Colombia. In the NW basin, moderate trades prevail. Seas are 6 to 9 ft, except 9-11 ft offshore Colombia, and 3 to 5 ft in the NW basin. For the forecast, the pressure gradient between the Bermuda High and lower pressure in the SW Caribbean associated with the E Pacific monsoon trough will support fresh to strong trades and rough seas across most of the central and SW Caribbean through the week. Winds will occasionally pulse to near- gale force off Colombia and in the Gulf of Venezuela into late week. ...ATLANTIC OCEAN... Three tropical waves are between Africa and the Lesser Antilles. Please see the TROPICAL WAVES section for more details. An upper level low is moving slowly westward over the NW Bahamas, inducing scattered moderate convection over the Bahamas, Florida, and adjacent waters W of 75W. The remainder of the basin is generally under the influence of ridging, either from the Bermuda high, extending SW from 1022 mb center near 32N64W, or the Azores high, at 1025 mb, centered near 32N30W. To the N of 25N, this is causing mainly gentle winds W of 30W, with seas of 3 to 5 ft. Over the far E Atlantic E of 30W, fresh NNE winds are inducing 5 to 8 ft seas. For the tradewind belt S of 25N, moderate to locally fresh E winds dominate, with 5 to 7 ft seas, locally 8 ft seas within 200 nm of the Lesser Antilles. For the forecast west of 55W, the Bermuda High and associated ridge will prevail across the region through late week. Moderate to fresh E to SE winds and moderate seas will prevail S of 25N. Fresh to locally strong E winds will pulse from late afternoons into the overnights N of Hispaniola through the period. Gentle to moderate winds and slight to moderate seas are expected elsewhere. By the end of the week, a weak cold front is forecast to move off the SE U.S. coast into the NW waters, then stall. $$ Konarik
