The Tropical Weather Outlook
 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Synopsis...Widespread shower activity will persist in the Gulf of Honduras and the Yucatan basin through Wed. Moderate to fresh trades will continue across the S central Caribbean through the week...pulsing to fresh to strong Tue through Wed night. Light to moderate trade winds will prevail across the remainder of the area. Winds will diminish slightly across the basin Sat as the pressure gradient weakens.
2. A weak area of low pressure located near the Gulf of Honduras is producing disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity across portions of the northwestern Caribbean Sea, the Yucatan Peninsula, and Belize. Although upper-level winds are marginally conducive for tropical cyclone formation, land interaction is expected to inhibit significant development while the disturbance moves slowly westward to west-northwestward across the southern Yucatan Peninsula and into the extreme southwestern Gulf of Mexico during the next few days. Regardless of tropical cyclone formation, this system will likely produce heavy rainfall across portions of Belize, northern Guatemala, Honduras, and the Yucatan Peninsula during the next few days.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent


3. The SAL has increased slightly in density.
