The Tropical Weather OutlookFor the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Synopsis...Weak ridging N of the area will continue to support gentle to moderate trade winds across most of the Caribbean through Sat. A trough of low pres over the W Caribbean is generating disorganized showers and thunderstorms. This trough is forecast to move westward reaching the southern Gulf of Mexico by late this weekend. This will allow increased E to SE winds over much of the W Caribbean Fri night through Sun night...diminishing early next week.
2. There are two areas of disturbed weather in the Atlantic-Caribbean-Gulf of Mexico basin. TS Ida currently poses no threat to the Bay Islands or north coast of Honduras. It is expected to become a remnant low in the next few days.
