The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
Tropical cyclone formation is not expected for the next 48 hours.
1. Gulf of Mexico - Strong winds off Veracruz, Mexico will diminish today. High pressure N of area will be reinforced on Tue. Fresh to locally strong E winds will persist over the SE waters...including the Straits of Florida through early Tue night.
2. Caribbean Sea - A surface low over the NW Caribbean will weaken to a trough today with the trough gradually dissipating through Tue. High pressure building N of the area will result in strong NE winds developing in the Lee of Cuba late tonight. These strong conditions will spread across the Yucatan and Windward Passages on Tue night and continue through Wed.
3. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected for the next 48 hours.
4. . ...Caribbean Sea...
A large upper ridge is anchored in the Caribbean near 14N81W and dominates the entire Caribbean, Gulf of Mexico and the west Atlantic. At the surface is a 1009 mb low centered in the northwest Caribbean near 17N85W with a surface trough extending from 19N87W through the low to 15N82W. Scattered to numerous showers and isolated thunderstorms are from 16N-20N between 85W- 87W with scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms within 60/75 nm either side of the surface trough east of the low. Diffluence across the north Caribbean is generating lingering scattered showers north of 17N east of 80W from the Leeward Islands to Cuba. The low will weaken to a surface trough today with the trough gradually dissipating through Tuesday. Strong northeast winds will develop late tonight in the lee of Cuba as the high over the west Atlantic strengthens. These strong winds will spread across the Yucatan and with Windward Passages Tuesday night through Wednesday.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - High pres across the area will be replaced by stronger high pres from the U.S. eastern seaboard that will build S over the eastern Gulf waters beginning Tue afternoon and continuing through the period. This will allow for E winds to increase over much of the eastern Gulf. The resultant E swell will spread into the eastern portion of the central Gulf S of 26N Thu through Fri night.
2. Caribbean Sea - A weakening stationary front extends from far eastern Cuba SW to 19N80W...and to just NE of the Gulf of Honduras. The front will dissipate by late Tue night as strong high pressure builds S across the NW and N central Caribbean. The high pressure will weaken some Thu through Fri night as possible broad low pressure moves WNW across the W Caribbean. A tropical wave extending from 17N55W to 09N58W will move across the remainder of the tropical N Atlantic through late tonight...then weaken as it moves across the E Caribbean Tue through Wed. A surface trough may approach the NE tropical N Atlantic from the E Thu through Fri night.
3. There are no tropical cyclones in the Atlantic at this time. Tropical cyclone formation is not expected for the next 48 hours.
4. ...Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave extends from 07N31W to 14N32W moving W at 10-15 kt. The wave remains fairly low-amplitude and coincides with 700 mb troughing S of 13N between 28W-34W. Scattered moderate convection is from 04N-13N between 26W-34W.
4b. Tropical wave extends from 09N59W to 16N55W moving W at 10-15 kt. The wave coincides with global model indicated 700 mb troughing between 51W-61W with a maximum in 850 mb relative vorticity in the vicinity of the wave axis near 12N. No significant deep convection is associated with the wave at this time.

The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:
1. Gulf of Mexico - A weakening stationary front over the SW Gulf will dissipate tonight. High pressure over the region will be replaced by stronger high pressure from the U.S. eastern seaboard that builds S over the eastern Gulf waters beginning on Tue afternoon and continuing through Thu. This will allow for E winds to increase over much of the eastern Gulf.
2. Caribbean Sea - A cold front is just N of the Yucatan Peninsula. The cold front will become stationary from the Windward Passage to NE Honduras by this evening...then begin to weaken late tonight...and gradually dissipate Mon through Tue night. A tropical wave located about 180 nm E of the tropical N Atlantic waters will move across those waters through Tue...then weaken as it moves into the E Caribbean Tue night through Wed night.
3. ...Tropical Waves...
3a.Tropical wave extends from 10N53W to 19N50W moving W at 10-15 kt. The wave coincides with global model indicated 700 mb troughing between 38W-55W with a maximum in 850 mb relative vorticity along the wave axis near 12N. No significant deep convection is associated with the wave at this time.

A cold front will move into the NW Caribbean this evening...then stall from the Windward Passage to E Honduras Sun...slowly dissipating early next week. A tropical wave will approach the far E portion of the tropical N Atlantic waters late Sun night...then cross most of those waters Mon through Tue night...and possibly reaching the far E Caribbean Sea Wed.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. As of 22/0900 UTC...a cold front extends across the Gulf of Mexico from 26N81W to 24N90W to 21N97W generating near gale to gale force NW to N winds generally S of 21N W of a surface trough analyzed from the front near 22N97W to 19N94W. These conditions are expected to continue through Saturday afternoon across portions of the SW Gulf of Mexico.
4. ...Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave extends from 09N48W to 18N43W moving W at 10-15 kt. The wave coincides with global model indicated 700 mb troughing between 42W-51W with a maximum in 850 mb relative vorticity along the wave axis near 11N. Scattered moderate and isolated strong convection is from 07N-16N between 38W-51W.

Friday, October 21, 2016
Skies will be partly sunny. Winds will be light and variable in direction at 5 mph to 15 mph or less. There is a very slight chance of scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms today.
Seas will be  moderate to calm at 1 to 3 ft. or less.  The air temperatures will range from the high 70sºF to the mid to high 80s ºF or 26°C to 27ºC. Ocean water temperatures are 80°F to 82°F or 26ºC to 27ºC.




The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A cold front extending from SE Louisiana to inland far NE Mexico will race eastward...reaching from Tampa Bay, FL to the SW Gulf this evening...then move across the Straits of Florida Sat night. Strong NW to N Winds and building seas are expected behind the front off the coast of Tamaulipas and Veracruz, Mexico today...reaching minimal gale force this afternoon and tonight. High pressure will build in the wake of the front Sun and prevail through Tue night.
2. Caribbean Sea - A broad area of low pressure will persist across the SW Caribbean through early Sat. Northerly swell in the tropical N Atlantic will gradually decay through Sun...while mixed NE and E swell in the eastern Caribbean will decay through Sat. A cold front will move into the NW Caribbean Sat night...then stall from the Windward Passage to eastern Honduras Sun...and slowly dissipate early next week. A weak surface trough from eastern Jamaica SW to inland northern Nicaragua will be absorbed by the cold front.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. A broad area of low pressure is centered east of the northern Bahamas. The central pressure of the low is 1001 mb and is located near 28N73W. Scattered moderate convection and isolated tstms are within 150 nm from the low center. To the east of the low center, a rainband supported by a diffluent environment aloft generates scattered showers and tstms from 20N to 36N between 60W and 70W. Showers also continue across Hispaniola, mainly across Dominican Republic, with GOES QPE imagery showing there accumulations of up to 2 inches over the last 6 hours. There is still a medium chance for this system to become a subtropical or tropical cyclone before it merges with an approaching cold front well offshore of the United States east coast tonight. A tight pressure gradient between a cold front and high pressure building in its wake will generate gale force winds in the Gulf of Mexico tonight. The front is expected to be along 29N82W to 26N90W to 19N95W and the gale winds from 21N to 24N west of 96W with seas to 8 ft. These conditions are forecast through Saturday.
4.  ...Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave is in the central Atlantic extending from 06N to 16N with axis near 44W, moving W at 15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave is in a region of unfavorable to neutral deep layer wind shear. Furthermore, CIRA LPW imagery from surface to 850 mb show pockets of dry air in the wave environment while water vapor imagery show dry air in the middle to upper levels. These factors are limiting the convection to scattered showers from 06N to 14N between 37W and 53W.

Skies will be partly sunny. Winds will be light and variable in direction at 5 mph to 15 mph or less. There is a very slight chance of scattered rain showers and isolated thunderstorms today.
Seas will be  moderate to calm at 1 to 3 ft. or less.  The air temperatures will range from the high 70sºF to the mid to high 80s ºF or 26°C to 27ºC. Ocean water temperatures are 80°F to 82°F or 26ºC to 27ºC.




The Tropical Weather Outlook
For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico:1. Gulf of Mexico - A ridge will retreat E today as a cold front approaches the NW Gulf...moving into the NW Gulf tonight. The cold front will race E reaching from Tampa Bay, FL to the SW Gulf on Fri night...passing through the Straits of Florida Sat night. Strong winds and building seas are possible behind the front off the coast of Tamaulipas and Veracruz, Mexico starting Fri...reaching minimal gale force Fri afternoon and night. High pressure will build in the wake of the front Sun through Mon night.
2. Caribbean Sea - A broad area of low pressure will persist across the SW Caribbean through early Sat. Northerly swells in the tropicaL N Atlantic and Atlantic/Caribbean passages will gradually decay through the end of the week. A cold front will move into the NW Caribbean Sat night...stalling from the Windward Passage to eastern Honduras Sun...gradually dissipating early next week.
3. ...Special Features...
3a. An elongated non-tropical 1005 mb surface low is centered northeast of the central Bahamas near 26N73W. Scattered moderate convection and isolated tstms are from 20N to 30N between 56W and 76W. Showers associated with this low are also affecting Hispaniola and Puerto Rico. Although the associated shower and thunderstorm activity remains disorganized, environmental conditions could become a little more conducive for the low to acquire some tropical characteristics during the next day or so, and this system could still become a subtropical or tropical cyclone before it merges with a cold front over the western Atlantic late Friday. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, and portions of the northern Leeward Islands through today.
3b.  Gale force winds are expected to develop in the Gulf of Mexico Friday night associated with a cold front that will enter the NW waters of the Gulf early Friday morning. NW to N gale force winds are forecast for the area S of 25N W of the front with seas to 10 ft.
4.  ...Tropical Waves...
4a. Tropical wave is in the central Atlantic extending from 06N to 15N with axis near 39W, moving W at 15 kt over the past 24 hours. The wave continues in a region of unfavorable deep layer wind shear. However, CIRA LPW imagery from surface to 850 mb show the wave is in an abundant moist environment that along with divergent upper level wind flow support scattered moderate convection from 01N to 15N between 31W and 45W.
