The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A weak high pressure ridge across the N Gulf will shift N of the area Mon. A surface trough over the central Gulf will drift W to the SE TX coast through Mon. Weak low pres over the SE Gulf will weaken to a trough as it reaches the S central Gulf by Mon evening
2. Caribbean Sea - A tropical wave over the W Caribbean will move inland Central America Mon morning. Broad low pressure centered well E of the area early this morning near 15N46W will move NW during the next few days and generate NE to E swell expected to propagate into the tropical N Atlantic waters by Sun evening...then build and spread westward across Atlantic waters Mon night through Thu.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 46W/47W from 21N southward. A 1009 mb low pressure center is along the wave near 15N. The 06-hour forecast consists of a 1009 mb low pressure center near 17N 47.5W...a possible tropical cyclone. Expect gale- force winds and sea heights ranging from 10 feet to 14 feet, from 60 nm to 240 nm in the northern quadrant of the low center. Convective precipitation: widely scattered to scattered moderate and isolated strong from 06N to 22N between 40W and 55W. Environmental conditions are conducive for development. It is likely that a tropical depression may form later today or on Monday. This feature is forecast to move northwestward to north- northwestward in the central Atlantic Ocean. The chance of formation through 48 hours is high
