The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. High pressure NE of the Gulf of Mexico will retreat eastward today enabling a cold front to move into the far NW waters. The front will stall over the northern waters Wed...then dissipate over the W and central Gulf as the remainder of the front moves SE through central Florida Wed night through Thu. The pressure gradient will build over the N Gulf Fri and Sat between ridging NE of the area and increased troughing in the Southern Plains. A trough will develop over the Yucatan Peninsula each afternoon and weaken as it moves W overnight each night.
2. As the pressure gradient relaxes...winds and seas will diminish over the Caribbean waters. Fresh to strong NE winds in the lee of Cuba and across the S central Caribbean will diminish this morning. High pressure will build N of the NW Caribbean beginning Thu. A fresh to strong breeze will pulse again off the coast of Colombia Thu night through Sat night. The Gulf of Honduras will see a fresh E-SE breeze pulse Thu and Fri that will become fresh to locally strong late Sat and Sat night.
