Ocean water temperatures are 78°F to 80°F or 25ºC to 26ºC.






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 weak cold front will cross the northern Gulf tonight...stall by Fri morning...then quickly dissipate as broad high pressure to the north rapidly slides eastward. Return flow associated with the ridge will then establish across the basin through Sun night. A new strong ridge anchored by a high N of 44N will tighten the pressure gradient in the SE basin to support fresh to strong winds Sun night through Mon night.
3. Caribbean Sea - Broad high pressure moving from the E USA to Atlantic waters will cause winds and seas over the central and eastern Caribbean to increase Fri night through Mon night. Locally strong trades will persist across the tropical Atlantic waters through this afternoon.
3a. 15-25 kt NE surface flow is over the central and western Caribbean. Scattered showers are along the coasts of Costa Rica, and W Panama. The eastern Caribbean has 15-20 kt tradewinds with isolated moderate convection E of 70W. In the upper levels, northern upper level flow is over the NW Caribbean with strong subsidence. An upper level low is centered over Puerto Rico with upper level moisture over the eastern Caribbean. Expect over the next 24 hours for precipitation to spread to the central, and SW Caribbean.
