The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A stationary front just offshore of Texas and Mexico will dissipate through this morning. Weak high pres in the E Gulf will prevail through Thu. A new cold front will push into the northern Gulf late Thu...becoming stationary from central Florida to the SW Gulf Fri...and dissipating through Sat.
2. Caribbean Sea - A weak tropical wave along 79W will cross the W Caribbean through Fri. A strong tropical low centered near 13N57W has a high chance of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Gale force winds are expected to continue N of the low center...prior to the low becoming a tropical cyclone. Further intensification is possible through the remainder of the week and upcoming weekend in the eastern and central Caribbean.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 57W from 19N southward. A 1007 mb low pressure center is along the wave near 13N, about 150 nm to the east of Barbados. Convective precipitation: scattered to numerous strong from 12N to 15N between 55W and 59W, and from 11N to 13N between 60W and 63W. Isolated moderate elsewhere from 10N to 20N between 50W and 63W. The precipitation pattern continues to show signs of organization. It is likely that a tropical depression or a tropical storm may form later today if this weather system continues to become more organized. The system is moving westward to west-northwestward 15 to 20 mph, and it is expected to pass over the Windward Islands later today, and then move across the southeastern Caribbean Sea tonight and Thursday. An Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled to investigate the system again later this morning.  The chance of formation during the next 48 hours is high. Heavy rains and tropical-storm-force winds in squalls are expected to spread over the Windward Islands and sections of the southern Leeward Islands, beginning this morning, and continuing through tonight and early Thursday. All interests in the Bay Islands and on the North Coast of Honduras should monitor this system closely as it tracks westward toward us. Currently this system does not pose a threat to the Bay Islands and north coast of Honduras. But all interests here should monitor this system as it moves west towards us.
4...Tropical Waves...
4a. An Atlantic Ocean tropical wave is along 26W/27W from 17N southward, moving westward 10 to 15 knots. Convective precipitation: widely scattered moderate to isolated strong from 07N to 10N between 24W and 30W. It is possible that the precipitation may be more related to the monsoon trough.
