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

imagery, weather observations, radar and meteorological analysis.

Based on 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
1050 UTC.

...SPECIAL FEATURES...

Tropical Storm Lisa is centered near 17.8N 90.1W at 03/0900 UTC
or 110 nm W of Belize City moving W at 9 kt. Estimated minimum
central pressure is 998 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 40
kt with gusts to 50 kt. Numerous moderate convection is inland
the Yucatan Peninsula with scattered showers and tstms happening
over the NW Caribbean and the Bay of Campeche. Lisa's westward
motion is expected to continue for the next day or so, bringing
the center of Lisa across northern Guatemala and southeastern
Mexico. After that time, a turn to the northwest and a decrease in
forward speed are expected as Lisa moves over the Bay of
Campeche. Additional weakening is forecast while the center
remains over land, and Lisa is expected to weaken to a tropical
depression later today. Lisa is not expected to re-intensify once
the center reaches the Bay of Campeche. Please read the latest

Hurricane Martin is centered near 41.9N 41.4W at 03/0900 UTC or
700 nm WNW of the Azores moving NNE at 40 kt. Estimated minimum
central pressure is 968 mb. Maximum sustained wind speed is 75
kt with gusts to 90 kt. Numerous moderate convection is N of 40N
between 35W and 46W. A turn to the north is expected to occur
later today taking Martin over the far North Atlantic. A reduction
in forward speed and a turn to the east or east-southeast is then
forecast on Friday. Martin should continue to grow larger and
slightly stronger today when it transitions into a large and
powerful post-tropical cyclone. After that time, the cyclone is
forecast to gradually lose strength through the weekend, but
remain very large. Please read the latest NHC Public Advisory at

...TROPICAL WAVES...

A tropical wave extends along 63W, S of 18N, moving west at 5
kts. Scattered showers are across the Windward Islands.

...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...

The monsoon trough is mostly confined to the African continent.
The ITCZ extends from northern Guinea near 11N15W to 05N48W. An
upper level low in the central Atlantic, combined with aboundant
tropical moisture, is helping support a large area of scattered
moderate convection from 03N to 11N, between 21W and 46W.

...GULF OF MEXICO...

Please read the Special Features section for more details about
Tropical Storm Lisa.

Tropical Storm Lisa near 17.8N 90.1W 998 mb at 5 AM EDT moving W
at 9 kt. Maximum sustained winds 40 kt gusts 50 kt. Showers and
thunderstorms associated with the outer circulation of Lisa are
observed in the Bay of Campeche. Winds are beginning to increase
as Lisa approaches the southern Gulf, though the system is losing
strength quickly while inland. The majority of the basin is
currently dominated by moderate easterly winds and 2-4 ft seas.

For the forecast, Lisa will move inland and weaken to a tropical
depression near 17.9N 91.5W this afternoon, inland to 18.4N 93.4W
Fri morning, 19.2N 94.7W Fri afternoon, 19.9N 95.2W Sat morning,
20.2N 95.2W Sat afternoon, and become a remnant low and move to
19.8N 94.9W Sun morning. Lisa will dissipate early Mon. High
pressure will dominate the remainder basin producing mainly
moderate NE to E winds through Thu. Otherwise, southerly return
flow is expected to strengthen over the NW Gulf Thu night through
Fri night ahead of the next cold front forecast to enter the NW
Gulf Fri night into Sat.

...CARIBBEAN SEA...

Please read the Special Features section for details about
Tropical Storm Lisa in the far NW Caribbean near the coast of
Belize.

Showers and thunderstorms associated with the outer circulation of
Lisa are observed through the majority of the basin west of 80W.
Elsewhere, moderate to fresh easterly winds are noted across the
basin. A recent scatterometer pass also found fresh NE winds
through the Windward Passage. Seas are 6-8 ft in the central
Caribbean and 3-5 ft elsewhere.

For the forecast, Tropical Storm Lisa near 17.6N 89.1W 991 mb at 11 PM
EDT moving W at 10 kt. Maximum sustained winds 50 kt gusts 75
kt. Lisa will move inland and weaken to a tropical depression
near 17.7N 90.6W Thu morning, inland to 18.1N 92.5W Thu evening,
inland to 18.8N 94.1W Fri morning, 19.6N 94.9W Fri evening, 20.2N
95.2W Sat morning, and 20.2N 95.0W Sat evening. Winds and seas
associated with Lisa will diminish over the NW Caribbean tonight.
Looking ahead, a complex, non-tropical area of low pressure is
expected to develop this weekend over the NE Caribbean Sea or
the SW N Atlantic. Some slow subtropical or tropical development
of this system is possible afterward while it moves generally
N to NW through early next week.

...ATLANTIC OCEAN...

Please read the Special Features section for details about
Hurricane Martin.

A cold front extends across the western subtropical Atlantic from
31N62W to 30N74W. Scatterometer data observed fresh northerly
winds behind the front, which increase with latitude north of the
discussion area. Seas are currently 5-7 ft, on a building trend.
Conditions are more favorable ahead of the front with gentle winds
and 4-6 ft seas.

In the central Atlantic, a surface trough extends from 31N51W to
20N57W. Scattered moderate convection is observed east of the
trough, from 19N to 31N, between 44W and 54W. Satellite
observations indicate moderate to fresh SW wind and 8-10 ft seas
in this area, on an abating trend as Hurricane Martin moves
quickly NE. High pressure dominates the eastern Atlantic, with
gentle to moderate E-NE wind and 4-6 ft seas.

For the forecast, a cold front extending from 31N61W to 29N65W
will weaken into a frontal trough on Fri. Strong high pressure in
the wake of the front will bring strong to near gale force
easterly winds across the N waters, mainly N of 27N, late Thu
through Sat night. Large NE swell following the front will push
southward across the entire area over the weekend. Looking ahead,
a complex, non-tropical area of low pressure is expected to
develop this weekend over the NE Caribbean Sea or the SW N
Atlantic. Some slow subtropical or tropical development of this
system is possible afterward while it moves generally N to NW
through early next week.
