The Tropical Weather Outlook
A tropical wave along 83W S of 21N will move W of the area Friday. This tropical wave is moving across the Western Caribbean with axis extending from 21N82W to 10N82W and is drifting west at about 10 
kt. The wave continues embedded within a mostly moderate moist environment as depicted on the SSMI total precipitable water imagery (See Fig. 10 above). Strong northerly wind shear in this region of the basin is hindering deep convection. Isolated showers are from 12N-19N  between 78W-87W.
A trough is just passing through the Lesser Antilles. This trough will move across the eastern Caribbean today...then across the central Caribbean tonight through Saturday. It is forecast to stall Saturday through Monday. A weak low may form along the trough.
A cold front will move off the Texas coast by tonight It will reach from near Fort Myers, Florida to near Tampico, Mexico on Saturday. Strong north winds are forecast to be behind the western portion of this front.
There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time.
Again the SAL, has changed slightly in area and density in the last 24 hours. See Figs. 9 and 9a.
