  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 0600 UTC surface analysis and satellite imagery through
  1015 UTC.
  
  ...MONSOON TROUGH/ITCZ...
  
  The monsoon trough extends from the coast of Africa near 05N09W
  to 02N13W. The ITCZ continues from 02N13W to the coast of Brazil
  near 03S40W. Scattered moderate convection is noted within 350
  nm north of the ITCZ between 17W-30W.
  
  GULF OF MEXICO...
  
  Surface ridging prevails across the basin, anchored by a 1028 mb
  surface high centered over the west Atlantic. This is producing
  gentle to moderate anticyclonic winds across the whole area.
  
  Weak ridging will persist over the Gulf through Monday,
  then dissipate ahead of a cold front moving into the northern
  Gulf waters Tuesday. The front will sweep southeast of the Gulf
  through late Wednesday. Winds will increase to fresh to strong
  over the NE Gulf late Wednesday through Thursday as strong high
  pressure settles over the Mid Atlantic states.
  
  CARIBBEAN SEA...
  
  A shearline extends across the northwest Caribbean from 20N76W to
  18N86W. Fresh northerly winds will prevail north of the shearline
  through tonight. Scattered showers are occurring along and west
  of the shearline affecting Cuba and adjacent waters. Fresh to
  strong easterly winds will continue pulsing at night across the
  waters within 90 nm north of Colombia. Moderate to fresh trades
  are noted in scatterometer data over the remainder of the basin.
  
  The shearline will dissipate today. Northerly Atlantic swell will
  move through the Caribbean passages east of Hispaniola through
  late today. A new cold front will move southward into the
  northwest Caribbean Wednesday night, before stalling and
  weakening from central Cuba to Belize Thursday.
  
  ATLANTIC OCEAN...
  
  A cold front extends from 31N64W to 28N71W to 30N79W, then becomes
  stationary to 31N81W. To the east, a stationary front extends
  from 31N56W to 20N74W. Scattered showers prevail across the
  stationary front. Elsewhere across the Atlantic, tranquil weather
  conditions continue as surface ridging prevails, anchored by a
  1026 mb high near 31N41W.
  
  The stationary front will dissipate today. A second front
  reaching from Bermuda to northeast Florida will move south and
  stall along 24N by late today, before dissipating over the region
  tonight. A third front will move off the northeast Florida coast
  early Tuesday. Low pressure may form along the front by mid week,
  followed by strong to near gale-force northerly winds. The front
  and low pressure will drift slowly eastward through late week.

  Marine Weather Discussion for the Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean Sea,
  and Tropical North Atlantic from 07N to 19N between 55W and 64W
  and the Southwest North Atlantic including the Bahamas
  
  ...GULF OF MEXICO...
  
  Weak ridging extends across the northern Gulf waters this
  morning. Recent scatterometer data and buoys observations show
  light to gentle E to SE winds over the northern Gulf, and mostly
  moderate E winds over the southern Gulf. Winds are pulsing to 20
  kt off the northwest coast of the Yucatan peninsula. Seas are 1
  to 3 ft over the eastern Gulf, and 2 to 4 ft over the western
  Gulf. No widespread dense fog or smoke is reported.
  
  The weak ridging will persist over the Gulf through Mon, then
  dissipate ahead of a cold front moving into the northern Gulf
  waters Tue. The front will sweep southeast of the Gulf through
  late Wed. Winds will increase to fresh to strong over the NE Gulf
  late Wed through Thu as strong high pressure settles over the
  Mid Atlantic states.
  
  ...CARIBBEAN SEA AND TROPICAL N ATLANTIC FROM 07N TO 19N BETWEEN
  55W AND 64W...
  
  A shearline or old frontal boundary extends from eastern Cuba
  westward to west of Grand Cayman Island, Earlier ship
  observations and scatterometer data indicated strong winds north
  of the shear line. Recent scatterometer data showed moderate to
  fresh NE winds into the Windward Passage, and fresh to strong
  winds off northeast Colombia.
  
  The shear line will meander and dissipate through today.
  Elsewhere fresh to strong tradewinds are expected near the coast
  of Colombia through Wed. N to NE Atlantic swell will move through
  the Caribbean passages E of Hispaniola through late today. A new
  cold front will move southward into the NW Caribbean Wed night,
  before stalling and weakening from central Cuba to Belize Thu.
  
  ...SW N ATLANTIC INCLUDING THE BAHAMAS...
  
  A weak stationary front reaches from 26N65W to the Windward
  Passage. A second cold front reaches from 31N63W to 29N75W then
  is stationary to off Jacksonville Florida. Light to gentle winds
  are noted north of 24N, and moderate to fresh NE to E winds area
  noted south of 24N.
  
  The weak stationary front will dissipate through late today. A
  second front will move south and stall along 24N by late today,
  before dissipating over the region tonight. A third front will
  move off the northeast Florida coast early Tue. Low pressure may
  form along the front by mid week, followed by strong to near gale
  force northerly winds. The front and low pressure will drift
  slowly eastward through late week.

  Monthly Tropical Weather Summary
  NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
  800 AM EDT Sat Dec 1 2018
  
  For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
  
  No tropical cyclones occurred in the basin during November, which is
  not uncommon since a November tropical storm occurs about once every
  other year.
  
  Overall, the 2018 Atlantic hurricane season featured above normal
  activity. Fifteen named storms formed, of which eight became
  hurricanes and two became major hurricanes - category 3 or higher on
  the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. This compares to the
  long-term average of 12 named storms, 6 hurricanes, and 3 major
  hurricanes. There was also one tropical depression that did not
  reach tropical-storm strength. In terms of Accumulated Cyclone
  Energy (ACE), which measures the combined strength and duration of
  tropical storms and hurricanes, activity in the Atlantic basin in
  2018 was also above normal. In addition, 7 systems were
  subtropical at some point in their lifetime this season, which
  eclipses the previous record of 5 in 1969.
  
  Reports on individual cyclones, when completed, are available at
  the National Hurricane Center website at
  www.hurricanes.gov/data/tcr/index.php?season=2018&basin=atl .
