The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected for the next 48 hours.
2. Gulf of Mexico - A cold front extending from south Florida 26N86W will move S to the Florida Keys and SE Gulf Fri...and then to Cuba Fri night. A stationary front from near 26N86W SW to 26N94W and then S to 18N94W will move little through Fri night. A new cold front will sink S across the N Gulf Sat and Sun and gradually merge with old frontal remnants across SW gulf. Gale winds are possible near the Veracruz, Mexico coast late Sat night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Moderate to fresh trades are generally expected across the basin N of 10N through Mon. High pressure building E from the United States mainland will generate fresh to strong winds over the Windward Passage through Mon night. A weak surface trough S of Hispaniola will continue moving W and dissipate Sat.
3a. Southerly upper level flow continues across much of the Caribbean basin this morning on the western periphery of an upper level anticyclone centered near 13N66W. Water vapor imagery indicates relatively dry air aloft N of 14N W of 70W. Mostly fair skies prevail across this area however low-level moisture convergence is maximized across the SW Caribbean where scattered showers and tstms are occurring S of 14N W of 76W. Farther east...as middle to upper level moisture increase and upper level dynamics become more favorable...a surface trough extends from 11N70W into a 1009 mb low near 15N69W through the Mona Passage and into the SW North Atlc region near 19N68W. Isolated showers are possible within 90 nm either side of the boundary and in the vicinity of the low center. Elsewhere to the E-SE...isolated showers and tstms are occurring S of 16N between 57W-64W. Overall moderate to occasional fresh trades are expected through Friday with little change expected during the upcoming weekend.
