The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st through November 30th.
2. Gulf of Mexico - A trough will develop each evening over the Yucatan Peninsula and move W-NW into the SW Gulf each night...then dissipate over the SW Gulf waters by late morning. Elsewhere...high pressure will prevail over the forecast waters through Thu. A strong cold front may arrive Thu night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strengthening Atlantic high pressure will bring increasing winds and seas across much of the basin through Tue. Winds will diminish on Wed and Thu as the high shifts E and weakens
3a. Upper level SW wind flow is to the south of 15N60W 16N70W 15N80W 12N84W. Upper level easterly wind flow covers the rest of the Caribbean Sea. An upper level trough passes through 17N60W to 15N66W 16N70W. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 18N southward from 76W eastward. Upper level southerly wind flow covers the area that is from 15N to 20N between 80W and 85W. Convective precipitation: scattered moderate to isolated strong from 11N to 17N between 79W and 85W, including the coastal plains and coastal waters of Nicaragua and Honduras. It is possible that speed convergence may be a contributing factor to the precipitation. Upper level southerly wind flow is from Honduras northward from 85W westward to land. Middle level to upper level cyclonic wind flow is in the NW corner of the Caribbean Sea, toward the Yucatan Peninsula. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate is in Belize and its coastal waters. 24-HOUR rainfall totals in inches for the period ending at 25/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.20 in Guadeloupe, and 0.07 in Curacao.
