The Tropical Weather Outlook
 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Showers and thunderstorms remain disorganized in association with an area of low pressure located several hundred miles west-southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. Strong upper-level winds should limit the development of this system while it moves westward near 15 mph over the next few days. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent
2. A trough will dissipate in the SE Gulf of Mexico later today. A cold front extending from near Tallahassee, Florida to 28N90W will move E of the area by late tonight. A new cold front will enter the NW Gulf of Mexico late Sat morning slowly shifting E through Sun. The front will stall from the NE Gulf of Mexico to the central Gulf of Mexico by Mon morning...gradually dissipating through Mon night. The remnants of the front will drift back to the W through Tue.
3. Gentle to moderate trades will prevail across the Caribbean through Tue night...except pulsing to fresh in the Gulf of Honduras each night tonight and again on Sat night.
4. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time.


5. The SAL has changed slightly in area and density.
