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 cold front extends from central FL near 28N82W to 26N87W to 25N94W where it becomes stationary to 25N96W and inland Mexico near 23N98W. The cold front will reach from the Straits of Florida to NE Mexico this afternoon where it will become stationary and dissipate through Fri. Fresh to strong southerly return flow will develop in the NW Gulf Fri through Sat night ahead of the next cold front expected to move across the Gulf on Sun. The cold front will reach from the Florida Panhandle to the SW Gulf Sun night and from N Florida to the Yucatan Peninsula Mon night. Gale conditions are possible in parts of the western Gulf behind this next cold front Sun through late on Mon.
3. Caribbean Sea - Trades in the central Caribbean will weaken slightly through Fri. Another strong area of high pressure will build N of the area this weekend and will bring an increase in trades in the Caribbean E of 81W and across the tropical N Atlantic waters along with building seas.
3a. The Caribbean basin remains relatively tranquil overall this morning with only a few isolated showers and tstms occurring across the SW Caribbean S of 12N between 81W-84W in close proximity to the Monsoon Trough axis analyzed across Panama to northern Colombia near 10N75W. Otherwise...shallow moisture and cloudiness within moderate to fresh trades prevail and are expected to persist through Friday night. Slightly stronger trades are forecast within close proximity to the coast of Colombia pulsing higher in the late overnight and early morning hours through Saturday. By Saturday...strong high pressure is expected to be anchored to the N across the SW North Atlantic region increasing trades into fresh to strong breeze levels the remainder of the weekend into early next week.
