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 strong cold front from Panama City, FL to NE Mexico will move across most of the Gulf today...reaching from SW Florida to Veracruz, Mexico by this evening. Strong to gale force winds will spread southward across much of the western Gulf behind this front through late Fri as it reaches the southern Gulf. Winds and seas will diminish very slowly Sat and Sat night across the SW Gulf as the front sinks into the NW Caribbean. The next front is expected to move into the NW Gulf waters Mon.
3. Caribbean Sea - High pressure N of area will support moderate to fresh trade winds across the basin except fresh to locally strong winds near the coast of Colombia and NW Venezuela. A cold front will enter the NW Caribbean Fri followed by fresh to strong NE winds and building seas. Trades will increase further over the central Caribbean this weekend as high pressure behind the front builds eastward across the W Atlantic.
