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 - Strong to gale force winds and building seas will follow a cold front moving across the Gulf tonight and Friday. High pressure in the wake of the front will shift eastward across the southeastern United States through Sat night. This will allow fresh to strong southerly flow to develop in the NW and N central Gulf Sat and Sun...ahead of a weak front expected to move off the Texas coast late Mon.
3. Caribbean Sea - Strong high pressure will pass north of the region as a cold front moves south over the Yucatan Channel later today. The high will become centered over the central Atlantic later this weekend supporting nightly gale winds N of Colombia Sat night through Mon night. 3a. Middle level NW wind flow moves from Florida and the Bahamas toward Hispaniola, and then it turns anticyclonically toward the SW corner of the Caribbean Sea. Comparatively drier air in subsidence is apparent in water vapor imagery. Upper level anticyclonic wind flow covers the area that is from 18N southward from 80W eastward. Scattered to broken low level clouds and possible rainshowers are within 90 nm on either side of the line that runs from 19N74W near Haiti, to 16N78W, beyond 12N84W into Nicaragua. Similar clouds and possible precipitation are from 10N to 14N between 54W in the Atlantic Ocean and 66W in the Caribbean Sea. 24-HOUR rainfall totals in inches for the period ending at 30/0000 UTC...according to the PAN AMERICAN TEMPERATURE AND PRECIPITATION TABLES...MIATPTPAN/SXCA01 KNHC...are 0.03 in Curacao, and 0.02 in Guadeloupe.
