The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - High pressure extending across the northern Gulf will remain in place through Tue night. A trough will move NW off the Yucatan Peninsula each evening and dissipate over the SW Gulf waters during the morning hours. Fresh to occasionally strong winds will be associated with this trough.
2. Caribbean Sea - The pressure gradient between the Atlantic ridge and low pressure over Colombia will maintain fresh to strong trades across the south-central Caribbean through Tue night. Winds will be strongest along the coast of Colombia during the overnight hours. A tropical wave is passing N of Surinam this evening. The tropical wave will move into the eastern Caribbean on Fri and into the central Caribbean on Sat.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected during the next 5 days.
4. Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave in the east Tropical Atlantic extends along 28W from 8N-19N moving west 10 to 15 kt over the past 24 hours. Wave coincides with a well defined 700 mb trough/low as depicted in the global models and within a surge of moderate moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. No associated deep convection.
4b. Tropical wave in the west Tropical Atlantic extends along 55W south of 15N to the coast of South America moving west 10 to 15 kt over the past 24 hours. Wave coincides with a 700 mb trough as depicted in the global models and is embedded within a surge of deep moisture as seen on the SSMI Total Precipitable Water imagery. Wave is enhancing the activity associated with the ITCZ.
