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 - High pressure N of the area supporting fresh to strong E winds in the Straits of Florida will weaken and shift E...allowing winds and seas to diminish. Warm moist SE winds over the NW Gulf will allow patchy fog through Wed night. Strong NW winds and building seas will follow a cold front moving into the NW Gulf Thu and sweeping through the SE Gulf by late Fri. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward along 31N through Sat night allowing for moderate to fresh southerly flow to develop in the far western Gulf.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong high pressure N of the area will support fresh to strong NE winds across the Caribbean through today. Winds and seas diminish Wed through Fri night as the high pressure weakens. NE to E trades increase on Sat over much of the W Caribbean and Windward Passage areas. Strong trades will pulse off the coast of Colombia through early Sat.
3a. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow, from South America and Central America, toward the north and northeast, is related to an upper level ridge that extends from northern Colombia beyond NW Cuba. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery, to the north and northeast of the line that passes through La Peninsula de la Guajira of northern Colombia, to the eastern coast of Jamaica, beyond NW Cuba. Upper level NE wind flow has been pushing the comparatively drier air into this part of the Caribbean Sea. Upper level southerly wind flow covers the area that is from 80W westward, in the area of upper level anticyclonic wind flow, with the Colombia-to-NW Cuba ridge. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 18N southward from 80W westward, in the coastal waters and coastal plains of Central America. It is possible that speed convergence may be a contributing factor to the precipitation. The monsoon trough is along 09N between 73W and beyond 84W in Costa Rica. Convective precipitation: isolated moderate from 11N southward from 76W westward. 24-HOUR rainfall totals in inches for the period ending at 27/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.19 in Curacao, and 0.13 in Guadeloupe.
